1. Getting Started with Campus ID, Email and Lockerbox

Click to expand this section.

Campus ID

You can look up your Campus ID in the online Campus Directory, or check for it on the back of your PantherCard.  You must activate your Campus ID by going to the Campus ID site and selecting 5 personal security questions and answers, and setting your initial password.  

Student Email

PantherMail access is available upon admission and remains yours as long as you're eligible to register for classes. Your account will need to be activated.

PantherMail and CampusID passwords are not synched. When you change your CampusID password it will not affect your PantherMail password and vice versa.

Storage and Website

Students are allowed 50MB of personal storage space on the campus network via an online lockerbox.  When you use your Campus ID to log in to any campus computer and select My Computer, your Lockerbox will appear as your H: Drive. Open your lockerbox »

Part of your personal storage space can be used for a student website. Simply save web files into the public_html folder inside your locker box. Student webpages are available using the following URL formula: http://www.student.gsu.edu/~campusid.
