Overview
Since several PA College applications and solutions will continue to remain active for an extended period time beyond the initial merger with SJU, there are times when an existing SJU user may require access to one of the these legacy applications. In order to obtain access to any PA College applications or solutions, there is a request and thorough evaluation process that users must go through before any type of approval is given. If the request(s) are approved, SJU users will have an independent PA College account created for them, which will require each user to set up an independent password in order to activate the account.
Prerequisites
- You must have previously been approved to use the SJU VPN application, GlobalProtect.
- A request for the access to PA College resources will have need to have been submitted and approved.
- Once the user's PA College account has been created, the account activation and password reset email will be sent to the @sju.edu email address.
- The user must have completed the new account activation and password reset process.
- Depending on the level of access a user requires, or the PA College application/solution they need to use, there may be other roles granted in order to provide the necessary access.
