MSU-ISP for Students


The MSU-ISP is for off-campus use only. There will be telephone charges associated with the use of the account if you select a dial-up number that is a toll call from your home. There may be no telephone charges if you select a dial-up number that is a local call from your home. The matter of access charges will be determined by the particular agreement you have with your telephone service provider.  Because payment of all telephone charges is the sole responsibility of the user of the MSU-ISP account, it is very important to make certain the dial-up number selected is a local call from your location. Some users find it convenient to dial "0" from their  home telephone, and ask the operator if the selected number is local or toll.

Important Notes:

MSU-ISP Phone Numbers

Although MSU has attempted to make sure that phone numbers for access to MSU-ISP cover the majority of the NJ area, there are some areas that do not have local phone numbers. Please verify phone numbers BEFORE using the MSU-ISP as you may incur toll charges. MSU cannot be responsible for any charges or costs that an individual may incur through use of the MSU-ISP

MSU reserves the right to shutdown the MSU-ISP at any time due to system maintenance, campus infrastructure issues or any other incident. MSU is not responsible for any damages (including academic) that may result from MSU-ISP being unavailable for any length of time.
