To ensure system security and the safeguarding of your data and the data of everyone else whose data is in our systems, the CSU has mandated the de-provisioning of accounts for students who have not been enrolled for at least one year.
This means that students who have one or more years of non-attendance (either due to graduating or other reasons) will not be able to access the following account information:
- SFSU Email
- Student Center
- Unofficial Transcripts
Students in this situation (no account access due to being gone 1+ years) who wish to access transcripts will have to order an official transcript. SF State ITS will not be able to password reset any student who has one or more years of non-attendance, as the account itself has been de-provisioned.
If you attended Spring 1985 or earlier, you must use our Transcript Request Form.
If exact dates of attendance are not known, then use best estimate. Also, use SF State's ID Lookup to verify if an online record is available.
