How to Register for Orientation

Online reservation process: This process offers you the opportunity to see what sessions are currently available. You also know immediately which session you have signed up for. You will need a credit card to reserve your space. (This process is preferred.)

Register by mail: Return the reservation form in your Orientation invitation as soon as possible to the address indicated on the form (using any other Minnesota State University, Mankato address could delay the processing of your reservation).

• Make checks payable to Minnesota State University, Mankato.
• New Student Summer Orientation Only: Rank your session choices 1-12 on the form. Your assigned session will be determined by session availability at the time your form is received.

Online Reservation Instructions

Please be sure to read all information carefully and register any guests attending the program with you (Summer only).

Step 1: Login. (If you logout before completing your registration, your information will be lost.)

• Tech ID: Your login ID/Tech ID is your 8 digit student number.
  Example: 00587401 cannot be entered as 587401. Your Tech ID can be found in the lower right hand corner of your Letter of Admission. You can also find your Tech ID online.  Be sure to click your back button to navigate back to this page once you learn your Tech ID.

• Password: If you have not used your password number before, it has been preset to your birth date in YYMMDD format or the last six digits of your SSN.
  Example: If your birth date is September 14, 1985 your password # is 850914. If this number does not work try the last 6 digits of your social security number. At end of your login session, you must ‘logout’.
