sac state login

Sac State students, faculty, and staff log in through the My Sac State portal using their SacLink username and password at the campus single sign-on page.

Main Sac State login link

  • The primary Sac State login page is the Sacramento State Single Sign-On portal at my.csus.edu, which is where you enter your SacLink username and password to reach My Sac State, Canvas, Student Center, and email.
  • The portal is designed as a central dashboard with single sign-on (SSO) access to key tools like Canvas, Student Center, and campus email once you authenticate successfully.

What My Sac State portal does

  • The My Sac State portal is described by the university as the 24/7 online “home base” where you manage your account, handle academic and administrative tasks, and access personalized campus services.
  • It includes sections for financial aid, academics, support, and technology tools, plus personalized notifications, Canvas announcements, and quick links you can customize.

Creating or fixing your SacLink login

  • New students typically receive their student ID and instructions by email after their application is processed, then use that information to create a SacLink username and password through the account/password management pages linked from the portal.
  • If you forget your password or get locked out, the same account management page lets you verify your account, reset your password, or use security questions you set up during SacLink creation.

If you can’t log in

  • Some students have reported issues after portal updates, such as needing to log out and back in, change their “persona” in the top corner, or submit a ticket to campus IT (IRT) if access appears broken.
  • When basic steps like trying another browser, clearing cache, or reauthenticating do not help, campus IT support via an IRT ticket is the recommended path for fixing Sac State login problems.
