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.

Who is my advisor?
Students are assigned an advisor based on the number of earned hours and their major fields of study before or during the orientation session of their first semester at MSU. (Undeclared majors are advised in the Tutoring and Academic Support Programs Office.)
If you do not remember who your advisor is, you can check with the TASP Office or with the office of your major field of study.
