NetID

The NetID is a UM login credential that allows users to connect to many UM systems and applications with the same login username and password.  The NetID is automatically generated for all UM students and employees.  If you don't know your NetID, you can use the NetID lookup tool at https://login.umt.edu

More information on the NetID is available at UM Solutions Center.

CyberBear

CyberBear is part of UM's administration information system and is a web application for viewing and updating data (registration, pay stubs, insurance benefits, transcripts, etc.)

Your current task in CyberBear is to update your umontana.edu alias to point to your official UM email mailbox, which is typically of the form first.last@mso.umt.edu. If you don't yet know your official UM email mailbox address, you will need to contact your departmental administrative staff or your IT support.

Set your umontana.edu alias

To initiate an official UMontana email alias, you need to indicate in CyberBear which email account you prefer to receive official email. A nightly process will activate the UMontana alias and point it to the email account you indicated. 

To activate your UMontana alias, log in to CyberBear:

  • Click on Personal Information.
  • In the Email section either
    • Click Add New and add a Preferred email address
      • Email Type: Your work/personal e-mail accounts
      • Email Address:  enter your MSO address here (usually first.last@mso.umt.edu)
      • Mark as Preferred:  Check the box 
      • Click Add
    • Edit (the pencil) an existing Preferred email address
      • Email Address:  Update to your MSO address (usually first.last@mso.umt.edu)
      • Click Update

You can view, insert and update your email account(s) under Your work/personal Email Account(s). If you do not see your email account, you will need to enter this information. University employees may only list an official email account (e.g. sally.example@mso.umt.edu). If you have questions about your email account, please contact your departmental IT administrator or IT Central at 243-HELP.

A nightly process will activate or update the UMontana alias.

Email

Your administrative staff will start the process of establishing your official UM email account, typically of the form first.last@mso.umt.edu

Currently at UM, email authentication is different from NetID authentication, which means that you will have different credentials for your email account. If you need assistance with your email credentials or your email client, contact the Health IT Helpdesk.

In addition to our Health IT Helpdesk services, our team facilitates coordination with other IT service units on campus. Essentially, if we can't solve the problem, we'll find the resource on campus that can solve the problem.
