What is my Personal Identification Number (PIN)?

MSU Portal.  However, the student PIN is a 6 digit number used as a password in conjunction with the student identification number (MSU Mustangs ID) generated for each MSU student by the University.  It is used for accessing the MSU WebWorld system (registration, financial aid, billing, grades, etc.) outside of the MSU Portal.  The PIN is initially the date of birth (mmddyy), but must be changed by the student upon initial access into the MSU WebWorld system.  This number should be kept secure by the student for personal privacy protection.

If you forget your PIN, you can enter your MSU Mustangs ID number on WebWorld, then click the "Forgot PIN" link; this should take you to the question/answer you originally set up.  If you answer the question correctly, you will be allowed to reset your PIN.  If this does not work for you, you can always come to the Registrar's Office in person with a picture ID and we can reset it for you.

How do I login to WebWorld?

MSU provides student self-service opportunities via WebWorld.  Students access WebWorld through the MSU Portal and may access registration, bills, grades, unofficial transcripts, financial aid information, change of address, and many other services online.  Browse the menu options for the services you wish to explore.

When and how do I register?

Registration instructions and dates are always listed with day, time, and classification details in the semester-specific Schedule of Classes:

Click on the section labeled "Information Section" to review the registration dates.

How do I find out what holds I have on my record?

You can view your holds in WebWorld by clicking on "View Holds" under the menu "Student Records".  This should list what type of hold, the reason, and the office responsible for placing the hold.  If more information is required about the hold, you should contact that particular office.
