The SDSU ID System

The ID on faculty, staff, and student SDSUcards is called a RedID and is used to engage with university services. A RedID will begin with an 8 for anyone who joined SDSU before the transition to my.SDSU or a 1 for anyone who joined after the transition to my.SDSU. 

If the ID on an SDSUcard begins with an 8, that person will also have an EMPLID that begins with a 1.

Each EMPLID is a unique identification number stored in my.SDSU. PeopleSoft generates EMPLIDs, and SDSU uses them in both PeopleSoft HCM (the Human Resources system) and in its Student Information System (my.SDSU).

If the ID on the SDSUcard begins with a 1, it will serve as both a RedID and an EMPLID. 

All faculty, staff, and students also have an SDSUid, which is the same as an SDSU email address. Your SDSUid and temporary password were sent to your personal email address. The SDSUid is used to log in to my.SDSU and other campus systems.
