Common questions about Email Cheat Code at Montana State University

Does Email Cheat Code work with Montana State University email?

Yes. Montana State University uses Microsoft 365 (Outlook) for student email. Email Cheat Code connects to your @montana.edu account with read-only access and sends you SMS alerts when critical emails arrive - financial aid deadlines, registration holds, bursar notices, and academic notifications.

If you're among the first students at your school to connect, your IT department may need to approve the app first - we can help with that.

What emails does Email Cheat Code monitor at Montana State University?

We monitor your Montana State University inbox for the emails that actually matter - financial aid deadlines, FAFSA verification requests, registration holds, tuition payment reminders, academic standing notices, and advisor communications. Newsletters, club emails, and campus-wide blasts are filtered out. You only get a text when something needs your attention.

Is my Montana State University email account safe with Email Cheat Code?

Yes. We connect through your provider's official OAuth sign-in - the same process you'd use to connect any trusted app. We can only read your emails, never send, delete, or modify them.

Email content is never stored - only a short alert summary is saved. Our security was independently verified through a CASA Tier 2 audit by TAC Security for the App Defense Alliance. You can revoke access anytime from your account settings.
