Transfer Student Information

Find Your JSU ID Number

Your nine-digit JSU Identification (ID) Number is at the top of your acceptance letter. You will use this number to reference your personal student information when contacting offices on campus.

Log In to MyJaxState

Your username and initial password are at the bottom of your acceptance email. You will use this username and initial password to access your MyJaxState account. Here, you can access and view your personal student information, financial aid details, and explore various other options available to you.

Set Up DUO Mobile

To better protect against cybersecurity threats and online fraudulent activities, DUO Two-Factor Authentication is required to access your MyJaxState accounts. Visit MyJaxState and you will be prompted to enroll automatically. You may enroll a mobile phone or tablet.

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.

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. 

• Must be completed before move-in/the first day of classes

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 Succes 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.
