What's new with ANGEL?
2008.5.6 - This Thursday, May 8th, a new ANGEL logon interface will be implemented. Currently users log on to MSU's course management system, ANGEL, by entering their MSU NetID and password directly on the angel.msu.edu home page. After the change, users will log on by clicking on a button labeled "Proceed," which will take them to the logon screen. This change is part of a project that will allow users to access multiple MSU resources without having to log on to each service individually. For more information contact the Distance Learning Help Desk at (517) 355-2345.
No other major changes to ANGEL are planned for Summer 2008.
2008.5.6 -The end of the Spring semester will bring about changes when accessing libraries' electronic resources from off campus locations. As of May 29, 2008 the old proxy server will no longer be available. Off campus access to library electronic resources is now made easier through the EZ Proxy which has been in place and working well for the last two years. For more information on using this service see the EZ proxy website available from Distance Learning Services through the MSU Libraries - Off Campus Access http://www2.lib.msu.edu/computer/offcampus-access.jsp.
2008.4.25 - MSU is moving to a new security and authentication process called Shibboleth or, more simply, single sign on, for many institutional resources. This includes the ANGEL system. This change, when completed across all applications, will allow users to access multiple MSU resources without the need to logon to each on an individual basis. To make ANGEL ready for single sign-on there will be changes to ANGEL's logon page, which are expected to take place during Summer 2008. More information as to dates, times and impact will be provided as it becomes available.
No other major changes to ANGEL are planned for Summer 2008.

MSU Privacy Statement
Know your rights and University Policy:
MSU expects that you will respect the rights of faculty and other students as you participate in the educational process. Participating in an ANGEL course means that you may have access to personal information and academic work produced by other students and faculty members, such as discussion board postings, drafts of papers and other work produced in the course. Academic norms and MSU policy require that you must not reveal any information about classmates, course work content, or its authors to anyone outside the course.
Students should be aware that their use of ANGEL materials and communication tools in a particular course may be observed and recorded by the instructor of that course. These observations and records may include a student's access to online library materials linked through the ANGEL course website. Use of these observations and records must conform to the use and release of confidential student records as described in MSU's Guidelines Governing Privacy and Release of Student Records. Students may link to library resources directly, without linking through ANGEL, using the Library website.
