Information
Spirit ID: This is a 7 digit number that starts with "0” or “1". It is your official university identification, and is used in a variety of places for identification purposes. Treat this number like you would treat your Social Security number - do not share it with others except with university employees when they may require verification of identity. You will need to know this number in order to set up your initial password on the ReACT Password Reset tool. This number can be found on the back of your OneCard. If you do not know your SpiritID and you are a student, reach out to enrollment services. If you are a Faculty member or University Employee and you do not know your Spirit ID, reach out to the HR Department.
OneCard: This is your Saint Peter’s University ID card, containing your Spirit ID, Email address, and Username on it. You can use this to open doors on campus, add funds for meal plans and access printing services. For more information about your OneCard, visit this page.
Password: This is your password to use in conjunction with both your Username/UserID and your Saint Peter’s University Google account. You will need to set this up for the first time using the ReACT Password Reset tool. Your password is valid for 180 days, after which you will be required to update it using the ReACT tool in order to continue to access SPU systems.
Username (also called UserID): For some systems, this may be used in conjunction with your password to log in. It typically consists of a student/faculty/staff member's first initial followed by their complete last name (for students, this is typically followed by a number as well).
Example: If you are a student and your name is Jay Gatsby, and you were a freshman in 2023, your Username would most likely be jgatsby23. If you are a staff or faculty member and your name is Tom Sawyer, your Username is most likely tsawyer.
If you do not know your Username and you are a student, reach out to enrollment services. If you are a Faculty member or University Employee and you do not know your Username, reach out to the HR Department.
