GEM Information
DUO Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Now Required for All GEM Users
When using JSU E-mail, Teams, OneDrive and other GEM applications outside of the JSU network, a prompt for authorization from DUO will occur after entering your GEM username and password. Information on how to enroll in DUO can be found on MyJSU under DUO Resources.
Changes to GEM – Microsoft 365 (Email, Teams, etc.) accounts
If your passwords for GEM and MyJSU are not currently the same, your passwords for both accounts will now be synchronized. You will therefore need to use your MyJSU password to log in GEM (email).
When this sync occurs, any password change must be done in MyJSU. Changing your password in MyJSU will update both your MyJSU and GEM passwords going forward.
