Keep in mind that sometimes it takes until the next batch cycle for that PIN/PAN to become active in the system, but that might be just for new account activations.

It happened to me several times over the years. However, in defense of the "Identity Management"(?) office located in the International Center, I discovered a lesser known fact. If you walk in (if they are open), you can get a new pin on the spot. Be sure to bring you MSU idcard. I hope this help. r.
