I have attempted to log into the PSU information system. It now says that my account is locked and that I need to have my pin reset. How do I make this happen?
You have probably entered in an incorrect pin number and you need to have a pin reset. You should call 503.725.3412 and ask for your pin to be reset (you will need to answer your security questions).
If you cannot call the registration office, you can email (in the subject line specify pin reset). In the body of the email explain that you are overseas and cannot physically come to PSU but that you need to have your pin reset. Include your ID number, current address which is on file with PSU, and your date of birth in the body of the email. Someone will then be able to reset your pin and give you the new pin via email.
What is a student visa? Do I need one for my program? If so, what is the process for obtaining one?
A student visa generally comes in the form of a stamp in your passport that gives you permission to study in a particular country. Most countries require student visas. You will receive information from your Education Abroad Advisor and/or your program provider about how to acquire a student visa for your program. This often involves sending your passport by registered mail to the consulate or embassy of the country in which you’re planning to study. Therefore, it is important that you have a current passport that does not expire within six months of the date of the end of your program abroad. If you don’t have a passport, you will want to apply for one right away.
How do I go about getting an enrollment verification?
Students can print official verifications of enrollment by following the “Enrollment Verification” link in the Student Service portion of the PSU Information System. The link connects to the NSC Student Self-Service site; click on the link and follow the prompts to obtain an official verification.
