How to activate your Campus ID and password

If you are a newly admitted student at Georgia State University, you need to activate your Campus ID and set your password to create your PAWS GSU account. Allow 24 hours for your GSU PAWS account to be created after you have activated your Campus ID. 

Your CampusID is the account name you use to sign in to most systems at Georgia State University. It is the account name associated with your digital identity at Georgia State and is printed on the front side of all PantherCards. 

Your CampusID is also a part of your official Georgia State email address (e.g., campusID@gsu.edu for faculty/staff and campusID@student.gsu.edu for students). 

All new students, faculty, and staff receive a CampusID. However, you must first activate a password to use your CampusID to log in to systems. 

To activate your CampusID, you must sign in to the CampusID Password Management system, set up your security questions and answers profile, and set up an initial password that you will use to log in to campus systems.

  1. Go to campusid.gsu.edu.
  2. Click Activate New CampusID.
  3. Enter your CampusID and your Temporary CampusID Password, then click Sign In.
  4. Select and answer security questions. When done, click Save Answers.
  5. Enter a new CampusID password and confirm it. Then click Change Password.
  6. It may take a few moments for your password to update.
  7. Click Next Step: Enter an Alternate Email Address for Password Recovery.
  8. Enter a non-GSU email address as your alternate email and confirm it; enter your phone number, then click Submit. Your alternate email and phone number will be used to help change or reset your CampusID password in case you forget it.
  9. Review your information and click Confirm.
  10. Your information is successfully updated! Click Continue.

What is an account lockout?

To protect your information and university systems, a Locked account prevents anyone, including you, from logging into your CampusID account. Your CampusID account will be locked if certain systems detect too many failed login attempts.

An account lockout can happen when you have tried too many times to log in and have entered the wrong password when you have recently changed your password. Still, one or more of your devices has stored a previous password or when someone else is trying to log into your account with an incorrect password. 

Most locked accounts cases occur because there is an old password stored on your device after you’ve changed your CampusID password.

How to confirm whether your GSU account is locked

  1. Go to campusid.gsu.edu
  2. Click Forgot My Password.
  3. Enter your CampusID.
  4. If your CampusID is locked, an error message will state, “Your account is currently locked.”.

If you cannot log into your university email account but can log into other campus accounts, an account logout message may not register at campusid.gsu.edu. 

Try to log into your email account again after the lockout period of 30 minutes has passed.
