Student Resources(StarID, TechID, MavCard, etc....)

Page address: https://web.mnsu.edu/concurrent/stu_resc.html

Concurrent Enrollment students are Minnesota State Mankato students!  That means Concurrent Enrollment students are eligible to access  the same resources that are enjoyed by our on-campus students. Take advantage of the many opportunities available including online library access, the Center for Academic Success and MavMAIL.

StarID

The StarID is a username for use at all the Minnesota State Universities. This needs to be activated once before use. The StarID is used to access MavMAIL (e-mail), D2L Brightspace, E-Services (register for classes, access transcripts, pay bills, look up final grades), etc.

Your StarID will be listed on your acceptance e-mail from the university.

TechID Number

All Minnesota State Mankato students are issued an 8-digit TechID Number upon admission to the university. The university uses this number to identify students in the university student records system. A student's TechID Number will be printed on their MavCARD. If a student forgets their TechID Number, they can look it up online.

TechID Password

A TechID password is used in combination with a student's TechID Number to access services such as grades and transcripts. Student's can find their TechID Password online here. When you access your TechID Password for the first time, it will be preset to one of the following:

  • Your birth date in YYMMDD format or
  • The last six digits of your social security number

If you experience problems finding your Tech ID or password online, please call the Registration Help Center at 507-389-2252.
