Technology Talk
SDSU students have access to a variety of electronic accounts and resources - many of which they will access daily.
They are often the primary gateways to important academic information and communication from the university, professors
and advisors. We recommend that you activate and familiarize yourself with these accounts prior to registering for
classes through SDSU. Be sure to track your login information and keep it in a safe and accessible spot for future reference.
If you are coming to Orientation, you are encouraged to bring your account credentials (logins, usernames, and passwords)
with you. That way you'll already be one step ahead when you get here.
