Frequently Asked Questions
What Is My User ID?
Your User ID or HSU ID is the nine digit number assigned to you when you are accepted to or hired by HSU. For security purposes, this number is used in place of your Social Security number and appears on your ID card. If you do not know your HSU ID number, you may use your Social Security number. When you enter either your HSU ID or your Social Security number, do not use dashes.
What Is My PIN?
Your PIN is a six digit number used to log in to WebReg. If this is the first time you are logging in to WebReg, your default PIN is generally your two digit birth month and four digit birth year (mmyyyy). For example, if you were born in March of 1989 your default PIN would be 031989. When you login for the first time, you will be required to set a new six digit pin.
What To Do If You Do Not Know Your PIN
If you do not remember your PIN, enter your HSU ID number in the “User ID” field, leave the PIN field blank then click on the “Forgot PIN” button. You will be asked your security question, if you have previously set one up. Enter the answer to your security question then click “Submit”. Once you have answered correctly, you will be allowed to set a new PIN. Please keep in mind your security question answer is case sensitive.
If you do not know the answer to your security question or your default PIN is not working, you can click “Generate New PIN” to have a new PIN e-mailed to your Preferred E-mail Address or you can contact the Help Desk at 826-HELP (826-4357) for assistance.
Expired PIN
You may be asked to reset your PIN because it has expired. If so, you will be prompted to enter your old PIN in the first field, then enter your new PIN twice. Your new PIN must be different than your old PIN and it must be six numbers.
Security Question for Forgotton PIN
If this is your first visit to WebReg, you will be asked to create a security question and answer in case you forget your PIN in the future. Please be sure that the security question/answer you create is simple enough that you would know the answer today or five years from now but is complex enough that it wouldn’t easily be guessed by someone else. Please keep in mind that your answer is case sensitive.
If you do not know the answer to your security question or your default PIN is not working, you can click “Generate New PIN” to have a new PIN e-mailed to your Preferred E-mail Address or you can contact the Help Desk at 826-HELP (826-4357) for assistance.
