START @ STATE
The Start @ State Program
Through a series of online modules, Georgia State's Start @ State Program kicks off your on-boarding experience at the university. To complete the modules, you will need your CampusID and password. These two items will be critical as you access PAWS, your student email account and other university systems moving forward. Activate your CampusID and password here.
Once you’ve completed the Start @ State online program modules, you’ll find a screen that lists your required next steps, which are based on your specific student type (each of which is defined below). Note that all first-year students can only register for their required in-person orientation at the completion of Start @ State.
For questions or concerns about the Start @ State process or your student type, email orientation@gsu.edu.
