Person with disability/veteran status: Federal regulations require that MSU make an effort to collect and track disability and/or veteran information. This information helps us support the University-wide commitment to assuring equal access, promotional and equal employment opportunity. The new EBS/Employee Self Service (ESS) system will continue to provide a vehicle for MSU to collect and track this information.
Participation is voluntary; you are not required to provide this information. To access the information visit ebs.msu.edu and click on the EBS Portal Log In. Log in with your MSU Net ID and password. Next, select the ESS tab and enter the Personal Information area of ESS and select the Veteran and Disability Status area.
If you are a veteran or a person with a disability, please consider using the Employee Self Service (ESS) system to provide us with information about your status. If you are a person with a disability, completing this information does not validate the presence of an ADA disability nor serve as notice of your need for specific accommodations. If you wish to request accommodation, please contact the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD) at 517-353-9642. Information also is available on the RCPD Web site at www.rcpd.msu.edu.
