New Hires
GETTING STARTED
Welcome to the USF St. Petersburg campus!
In order to log into campus computers and information systems, you must first complete payroll registration, GEMS registration, and receive your Employee ID (EMPLID) number from the Human Resources Department.
Accounts cannot be created until your official start date. After you receive your Employee ID, it may take up to 24 hours for your employment status to update in the various USF systems. Once the appropriate USF systems receive your Employee ID information, you will be able to purchase your USF St. Petersburg ID Card and activate your USF NetID.
USF NETID
Using your USF NetID, you will be able to log into university information services with a single username and password, such as, USF Email, MyUSF, and CANVAS; along with registering devices on the wireless networks.
COMPUTER LOGIN
Use your USF email address and password to log into USF St. Petersburg campus office and classroom computers.
PHONES AND VOICE MAIL
Every office, classroom, and lab on campus is required to have at least one Cisco IP phone connected and in working order. When you arrive to your office, most likely a phone will already be available for you. If not, you should contact your supervisor to have them order a Cisco IP phone. If a phone is already available to you, but is configured for someone else, you will need to complete and submit a Communication Services Request Form with your supervisor’s signature. ALL requests for phone related changes must be submitted with the Communication Services Request Form.
WIRELESS INTERNET (WIFI)
You will need to register your university or personal devices on the USF wireless networks before you can access the Internet. You have two wireless network to choose from, USF and Eduroam.
BUILDING AND ROOM ACCESS
Key Cards, also known as Proxy Cards, are used to access buildings and rooms on campus. You should check with your supervisor to determine if you will need a key card. Learn more about building and room key cards.
