Registration for new students

(those who have do not have an MCTC tech ID and PIN, or a MnSCU User Account Username and password)

  1. Add the desired course to your shopping cart (see Section I, step 1). Click on the “Create an Account” link on the login screen.
  2. Click on “Create a MnSCU Account.”
  3. Enter the information requested on the Create a MnSCU Account screen. You only need to complete the fields in the Basic Account Information section that are marked with an asterisk. However, if you do decide to register for the course, you will need to complete the fields in the Address & Phone section that are marked with a double asterisk, so it may save time to enter all the information upfront.
    Note: If you do already have a MnSCU User Account, but don’t recall it, completing the fields marked with an asterisk will cause you to create a duplicate MnSCU User Account. This is one of the reasons we ask for an SSN and/or birthdate.
  4. Edit or save your account data. An email will be sent to the address you’ve provided.
  5. The next screen will inform you that your account has been created and direct you to continue with your process (see step 3 above).
  6. When you are confirming your registration, you will be asked to enter a PIN.  This PIN is different than the MnSCU password you created earlier. A MnSCU User Account and password is good at any MnSCU institution you might attend, while the Tech/Student ID and PIN are specific to MCTC. Once you have completed a registration at a MnSCU college, either the college’s Tech ID or the MnSCU User Account Username can be used to login into the online registration system at that college.
