At Southeast Missouri State University, your SE Key is your official university login credential. This will act as your username and password for Canvas, SEMO email, mySEMO, and other campus systems. Since so many academic and success tools are connected to this account, activating and maintaining your SE Key is essential for your success as a Redhawk.
What Is a SE Key?
Your SE Key grants you access to your central SEMO account. These credentials act as single sign-on for most systems. If your SE Key is not activated, or your password and multi-factor authentication are not set up correctly, you will be unable to log into your portal, register for orientation or housing, be considered for Endowed & Sponsored scholarship opportunities or accept your financial aid offer. You may also miss important university communication to your SEMO email.
If you are unable to log in as a current student, you lose access to your mySEMO, email, SupportNET plus all your classes in Canvas where you view assignments and digital course materials.
How do you find your SE Key for your mySEMO account?
All students can activate or manage their SE Key through the SEMO Account Management page. The SEMO student portal will have you log in with your SE Key if you press the log into mySEMO link.
