Learn how to request additional access in my.SDSU using the Access Request Form.

Introduction

Note: Your screen may look different from the screenshots in this article.

If you are new to SDSU or your roles have changed, you may need to request additional access in my.SDSU using the Access Request Form. You can request access to specific role(s), such as Advisor or Department Scheduler, or ask to copy another employee’s access. You will be asked to provide justification for your request, and the form will go through an approval process. This guide will take you through the process of submitting an Access Request Form. Note: The Access Request Form is only for faculty, staff, and student employees. If students need additional access in my.SDSU, they should submit a ServiceNow ticket.

Note: If you are an Auxiliary or Global Campus employee who needs access to my.SDSU, please submit a ServiceNow ticket to request access to the Access Request Form. If you are not an Auxiliary or Global Campus employee, there is no need to submit a ServiceNow ticket to request additional access in my.SDSU.
