Registration Cancellation for Nonpayment Procedure

Minnesota State University, Mankato is currently operating under a MinnState approved pilot program waiving the Registration Cancellation for Nonpayment Procedure for 3 years beginning Summer Semester 2022.


All students must meet minimum financial requirements to remain enrolled each semester. Student accounts are reviewed in advance of the published Registration Guarantee Dates; accounts that do not meet the requirements are subject to registration cancellation for nonpayment.

Note some actions taken to meet the minimum financial requirements may not be immediately reflected on student accounts; students can verify updated Registration Cancellation for Nonpayment status on the Bills and Payment page on e-services. A green checkmark next to the message means requirements have been met; a red X next to the message means your registration is still at risk of cancellation for nonpayment.

Students at risk of registration cancellation for nonpayment are alerted by email prior to the registration guarantee date to provide the opportunity to resolve their status. Those impacted by registration cancellation are notified by email as well. Re-enrollment guidance is provided at that time.

Students not intending to stay enrolled in classes should not rely on the Registration Cancellation for Nonpayment procedure to automatically remove course registration and related tuition & fees charges.

See additional information about Dropping Courses or initiating an Official Withdrawal to prevent unintended financial obligation to the University.
