Activating your account in POWER
All staff and faculty at SFSU have accounts in POWER. However, before you can use your account, you must go through a one time activation procedure so that we can verify your position within the University and give you your login information. You can activate your account by following the steps below:
1
Click the login link
Go to the POWER website using your preferred web browser (http://power.sfsu.edu). On any page on the POWER website, locate the Login link directly beneath the POWER logo. Select the link to access the login page for POWER.

Activate your account
On the Account Activation page, insert your SFSU email address into the text box and click the Submit button. The POWER system will check your SFSU email address to make sure that you are staff or faculty at the University. You will then be sent an email at your SFSU email address with details on how to login to POWER, including your username and a temporary password.
Important Notes:
After receiving your temporary password, you can change your password to something more memorable by logging into POWER and visiting the My Profile page in the My POWER section of the site. Note that you cannot change your username.
