Employee Guides & Account Setup

Guidelines for logging in from on-campus and remote devices, plus password self-service registration.

Username and Password Guidelines

Employees have the benefit of single sign-on (SSO) when accessing Panther Central from computers on the SFSC network. When accessing from home or non-SFSC devices, credentials will be required.

Username Format

Use your network login whenever prompted for credentials. From non-SFSC devices, enter your short-form email address as the username:

Example: Employee John Doe uses doej@southflorida.edu
Do not use: John.Doe@southflorida.edu
Password

Employees will use their standard college network password to access Panther Central.

If you have forgotten your password or are locked out, use the self-service reset link above or call the IT Help Desk at 863-784-7462.
