You will be asked for your 7 digit student ID # (please include the leading zero), the last 4 digits of your social security number, and your year of birth. Note: when entering your student ID #, it must be seven(7) digits long; if it is not, please enter the appropriate number of zeros in front of the ID #.

Additional information can be found on our website at http://www.mansfield.edu/~finaid/ or by calling the Financial Planning Office at (570) 662-4418 or 4878.
Housing & Dining
We feel that the advantages of on-campus living are so important to the undergraduate experience that it requires all full-time students in their first and second year to reside and dine on-campus. To acquire a housing assignment and meal plan you must participate in the on-line assignment process for both services. **Note: For Fall 2008 students...you can access the on-line housing assignment process until 4:00 pm on Friday, August 15th. Beginning on Monday, August 18th, you MUST contact the Housing Office at 570-662-4934 to obtain your housing assignment. Review and accept the agreement and provide us with your preferences. There are instances that may allow you an exemption from the on-campus requirement and these will be outlined in the on-line assignment process; along with a section to complete to request exemption. Questions or specific requests should be directed to the Housing Office at (570) 662-4934. You may also refer to the Residence Life & Housing webpage for more information.
Invoices
The Enrollment Services Office will begin to mail invoices in mid April for summer sessions 1A & 1B, in late May for summer session SF, and in late July for the fall semester. Please Note: If you are taking summer classes in both sessions (1A/1B & SF) you will be billed separately for these sessions. Please call (570) 662-4888 or 4889 with questions regarding your invoice. The Student Accounts Office is open Monday through Friday 8:00am - 12:00pm and 12:45pm - 4:15pm.

Online Courses
Students enrolled in any online course should acquaint themselves with our Online information page. If you are taking only online courses and wish to access the North Hall Library resources and materials remotely, you will need your student ID number as well as an 18-digit library barcode number. This 18-digit number is sent to you in a letter from the Admissions Office. Once the barcode has been created, it can also be accessed by going to the following weblink: http://lib.mansfield.edu/cfm/idlookup1.cfm. However, if it is your intention to physically sign out materials from our library, you must have a student ID card.
