Self Service Accounts

St. George’s University uses the Banner system to enable you to view schedules, registrar information, and student accounts online in one convenient location through student Self Service.

Your Student ID number, username, and a temporary password will be emailed to the email address once you are accepted. After your SGU e-mail address is activated, this will be where any correspondence from the University will be delivered.

Orientation will kick off with a self-paced resource website aimed to prepare you for your academic journey at SGU. Live mandatory orientation sessions led by key administrators and your course faculty will begin approximately one week before the start of the semester. Additional details about Orientation will be sent to your SGU email and posted here.
