First Time User
Welcome to Gorilla Nation! As a First Time User at PSU, you have just 2 easy steps to your first login as a Gorilla!
Set Your PSU Password
When you became a PSU Gorilla you received your own unique 7 digit PSU ID Number. For STUDENTS this came in a letter from PSU Admissions. For EMPLOYEES this was shared with you by PSU Human Resources. You will need that number to proceed. Once you have your ID Number, click here to set your PSU password. Be sure to select a "pass phrase" that is memorable to you (Example: !Lov3PSUG0rillas). Learn more about strong passwords here. After setting your password, return to this page for the final step in this process.
NOTE: If you need assistance locating your ID Number, please contact the Gorilla Geeks: 109 Whitesitt Hall - 620-235-4600 - geeks@pittstate.edu.
Find Your PSU Username
One last step! To locate your PSU Username, simply go to the GUS Portal, click the Login button, and instead of logging in, click Find PSU Username. You will be prompted to use your 7 Digit Student ID Number again, followed bya quick verification process. Once this is done you will have access to most PSU IT resources located in the GUS Portal.
STUDENT NOTE: You will receive access to PSU's student email, GUSMail, at Pitt CARES or when you enroll in your first PSU course. GUSMail is housed in Microsoft's email system, Outlook. The first time that you activate your account, Microsoft will require a few extra steps to verify that you are indeed a PSU student. Follow the directions on the screen and you will be authenticated as an official PSU GUSMail user!
Once you have finished this process you are set to go! You can login to any resource in the GUS Portal with your PSU Username and Password.
