Registration FAQs

What is my Student ID number and how can I look it up?

The student ID number is an eight digit number specific to Hennepin Technical College that may be found on your student ID card, transcript, schedule, fee statement, or you can look it up by following the directions below:

  • Access Hennepin Tech's homepage hennepintech.edu
  • Click on Current Students on the top of the page, then choose eServices & Schedule
  • Choose a campus, then Log into eServices with your StarID and Password
  • Your Student ID# should be visible on the top right side of the Student eServices page

Why does my password not work?

You must use your StarID to log into eServices. All current and most former Minnesota State system students have a StarID. You must activate your StarID before you can use it.

Once you change your password, you must remember it for future online transactions. If you lose or forget your password, go to starid.minnstate.edu for instructions.

I'm receiving a message that says "there is a time conflict in my schedule." What does this mean?

You have registered for courses that conflict or overlap with each other. However, courses with a warning due to a conflict are registered courses. Please be sure to review your schedule closely and adjust accordingly.

I'm receiving a message that says "student must take or pass test or satisfy course pre-requisites." What does this mean?

Certain courses have prerequisites which are listed in the college catalog or course description. Also, some courses require a certain score on the placement test in order for a student to register. Students who have not met course prerequisites or appropriate placement test scores are responsible for requesting an authorization (override) from a counselor or instructor.

I'm receiving a message that says "student on hold." What does that mean and who should I talk to?

You have an outstanding obligation which must be resolved before you can register. You may view what type of hold is on your account: Log into eServices. Go to Courses & Registration on the left menu and select Registration Holds. Click on Check for Holds to access a list of who to contact if you need help regarding a hold on your account.

I'm receiving a message that says "I have entered invalid credits." What does that mean?

You will get this message if you incorrectly enter variable credits. For example, variable credits must be entered as 0100 for a 1-credit course or 1100 for an 11-credit course.

I'm receiving a message that says "only defined majors may register for this course." What does that mean?

Some courses are set up exclusively for certain majors. If you receive this message, you will not be allowed to register for that particular session. The class is reserved for the majors listed in the course notes. To view course notes, click on the course title when looking at the schedule.
