Single Sign On FAQs
Single Sign On Portal
1. What is Single Sign On (SSO)?
SSO is a solution that provides an authentication service that will allow users to enter their campus identity once and then move between various systems without additional authentication.
2. What is my Universal ID?
A new Southern Universal ID (SUID) makes it easier to access a variety of platforms on all campuses of the Southern University System. Your new SUID (firstname.lastname@sus.edu.) will allow you to log in to:
* Banner
* Moodle
* SUS Email Account
* Secured Wireless Networks
Users will continue to have access to their current campus email account and can use the SUID as an alternate email address.
3. How to login using my Universal ID?
Your SUID will be associated with your login @sus.edu
All students and employees of the Southern University System will receive their Universal ID (login and password). During this time a notice will be sent to your personal email address that includes your system identity (username and password).
Your Universal ID will be firstname.lastname, then @sus.edu; though, certain users cases may not apply to this default username.
e.g. If there is someone else already in the system with the same name then 01, 02, 03, etc. would be placed after your last name. So please reference to the notification email sent or contact DOIT help desk for the correct username at 225-771-HELP.
