MnSCU Web System Login

Because the MnSCU web system is connected to records information, it is made secure by forcing people to login using a tech ID and PIN. Further, upon logging in a person is identified as being a student or a staff member--each group able to view information appropriate to that group.

Tech ID's are eight-digit numbers used to identify people on campus. Tech ID's appear on MavCards and staff ID cards. They do not change for an individual's entire career at Minnesota State University, Mankato. There are provisions on the web login page for looking up your tech ID in case you have forgotten it. Oftentimes the tech ID is called the "login ID" since it is used to login to the web system.

PIN's are six-digit numbers utilized as passwords in conjunction with your tech ID. Initially, your PIN is set to either:

• your birth date in the form YYMMDD
  • for example, August 26, 1953 would generate a PIN of 530826
• the last six digits of your social security number

The first time that you login using your initial PIN, you will be forced to change it to virtually any six-digit number of your choice.

There are provisions on the web login page for looking up your PIN in case you have forgotten it.

Your PIN keeps whatever value you have set it to unless:

• you change it (one of the options within the web system)
• your PIN is reset (it then changes to one of the initial values)

The University has tailored the entrance to the MnSCU web system to suit its needs. Thus, people are from time to time asked or shown information about their email address and billing.

Once logged into the web system, you will see a screen tailored for instructors with options along the left side as shown below. These options relate to different features available.

• Advisees allows you to obtain a list of current advisees.
• Class Management allows you to obtain class rosters, enter grades, and enter overrides for student registration purposes
• Courses allows you to search the course offerings for a term.

On the far right side of the page is a link that will bring you to the MnSCU web page meant for students (if you were/are a student at Minnesota State Mankato).

Also on the far right side is a link used for logging out of the web system.

The address for the actual login page is http://www.mnsu.edu/msureg .
