Introduction

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

As part of the my.SDSU transition, the campus will move to a new identification numbering system. Although the new ID numbers will be issued to all new admits (starting Fall 2023), previously issued identification numbers will remain in my.SDSU--referred to as the Local Campus ID.

Faculty, staff, and students who entered the SDSU system before Fall 2023 will continue to use their Local Campus ID (which begins with 8) to access university services. These populations will also be assigned an ID (which begins with 1.)

Faculty, staff, and students entering the system after Fall 2023 will only be assigned an ID.

This article covers how to look up the ID, as this identification number will be critical when searching for student information or student records - most pages in my.SDSU will require the ID number.

Eventually, SDSU will transition to the ID number in order to search for student information and records.

ID

• IDs start with a 1.
• ID will be generated once an admissions application is posted to my.SDSU

Local Campus ID

RedIDs (which begin with 8) will be phased out over time, starting with new admits for Fall 2023.

Watch this video to learn how to locate the student identification number.

How do I look up the student ID?

After signing-into my.SDSU, from your home screen:

1. Select on the NavBar > Navigator

2. Select Campus Community > Student Services Ctr (Student)

   Note: Student Services Ctr (Student) is recommended as this searches just student records (while Student Services Center link contains both staff and student information)

   

3. Enter the student’s identification number or letters of last and first name and select Search.
4. After selecting Search, the Student Center page will appear. The ID will be located at the top of the page next to the student’s name. The new ID will begin with a 1. With the ID, you can search and update student information and records.
