Find Your JSU ID Number

Here, you can access and view your personal student information, financial aid details, and explore various other options available to you.

Log In to Your JSU Email Account (GEM)
Each student is assigned a JSU e-mail account upon admission. The e-mail address is at the bottom of your acceptance email. Your password will be the same as your MyJaxState password. Please start checking this e-mail account frequently as important information from other offices on campus is communicated via this account.
Jax Statehosts both transfer-specific events as well as daily campus tours so you can be prepared for a smooth transition to the Friendliest Campus in the South.
Apply for Scholarships
At Jax State, we offer fantastic, automatically awarded merit-based scholarships, but we know that more funding is always a bonus! You can apply for over 250 competitive scholarships through the JAX App. Some competitive scholarships, such as talen-based, the International House scholarship, and others require their own application.
First-Time Transfer students have the option to live on campus and can apply for one of our upperclassmen housing options.
We offer orientation sessions specially designed to help transfer students get officially introduced to JSU and meet faculty, staff, and other transfer students. Students will end the day by registering for classes. While Transfer Orientation is not required, it is strongly recommended.
If you're not planning to attend Transfer Orientation, you will need to set up an appointment with an Academic Advisor before being cleared to register for classes. You can find information for your Academic Advisor in your acceptance email.
Complete medical information and immunization forms so we can best serve you at the Student Health Center.
Payment due dates can be found on the Academic Calendar.
After attending orientation and registering for classes, students will be able to see their account balance on MyJaxState. Find answers to payment FAQ’s.
The Academic Calendar has important dates listed for each semester including when classes start, and payment is due. Do not forget about all the great resources offered through Student Success to help you on your academic journey.
Each year, Jax State hosts “J-Week” to build camaraderie between students and celebrate the beginning of a new academic year. Join us for a fun-filled week as you start your academic year at Jax State.
