Has it been possible to sign in to the D2L portal using netID credentials at least? I hope we can see this issue fixed before the practice ADS exam deadline passes (1/27)
There is a practice exam?
I called up the IT Desk support about the problem. I was told that unless you are committed to MSU and already enrolled for the class of 2025, then you can use your NetID with your MSU account. Otherwise, use a guest account (using personal email, not PIDs etc.) to enroll and log in to the D2L portal. It worked for me!
They responded and helped very politely, definitely held up MSU standards!
We created a guest account and recieved the error that was mentioned above.
Question about the Honors College. My son finally told me today that he was invited to join the Honors College in December. Is there anything he needs to do concerning this invite? He has not done anything with it since he is still looking at other colleges. Also, are the scholarships listed in the same place as financial aid or is there something else we need to setup. He is signed up for the ADS exam, although he has tried logging in and keeps getting the error message that others have already complained about. This is all new to me. Thanks for the help.

I think there was an email address and a password to enter just to accept honors college (but it doesnât bind you to anything). I think then they invite you to more info sessions? Not entirely sure. It should be on the physical piece of mail about honors college.
My son said they sent an email about a new ADS link/fix or approach that worked for him.
Totally impressed with MSU thus far. Admissions, Honors College and even a call to IT for the ADS exam problem. At this point the only thing holding my Daughrer back from committing is the cost. We are praying she can do exceptionally well on the ADS exam and be offered additional scholarships. Sheâs got offers from OSU, Miami, and some other great schools. Keeping fingers crossed

Have to agree! My son reached out to their tech support as well and he was promptly answered and issue sorted. Looks like their D2L platform is also pretty good and their instructions and communication is all very clear. If he gets the ADS scholarship, MSU is definitely a big prospect for him. Weâre OOS in IL.
An ADS scholarship award could likely result in my daughter attending. Very impressed with MSU.
We found the links for the Friday ADS webinars, but has anyone found the links to the Thursday Honors webinars?
Not yet
My son has received looks only for the Friday engineering sessions so far.
All these sessions are repeating across 2 weekends right? So if they miss week 1, they can attend week 2?
That is how I read it. My daughter is planning on doing the Thursday session next week due to a conflict today.
We received the email this afternoon with the link, and it does state you can attend next week instead if there is a conflict (for the sessions, not the test).
Good luck to everyone taking the test this morning!

My daughter just finished the exam. She said it was a joke in that itâs no way to properly evaluate a person/student and their intellectual ability and intelligence. She was quite turned off by it as it turns out. Even though so felt comfortable with many questions, it turned her offâŠso much so sheâs much more likely to commit elsewhere now.
Iâm just about to take it⊠did it take your daughter the full 2 hours?
I was not able log be on⊠how did your daughter access the exam?
Are you using the secure browser? Thatâs the only way to access
It took her a little over an hourâŠgood luck
