Why am I being asked for a Panther ID #?

The Panther ID Number is a unique identifier, and is used to match your scores with your record so that you can be admitted using your scores and so that you can register for classes without error by meeting pre-requisites. It is also used to demonstrate that a dual enrollment applicant has applied to the institution and is therefore not subject to GSU's Minors on Campus policy.

If you were to test without a Panther ID#, your scores would only be in the ACCUPLACER database where it would not be applicable to your application, registration or graduation audit. In the case of the History and Constitution exams, we need both your Panther ID # and your Campus ID number (from the front of your GSU email address) to load you into an iCollege History and Constitution exam. This information is then used after you test to match your score to your student record and satisfy your legislative graduation requirement.

To not delay your admissions decision, registration or graduation decision, you need to make sure that you use the correct Panther ID Number at the time of testing.  

Using other numbers will not match your scores to your application and record and can create problems during registration.

The "Applicant Number" on your application is not your Panther ID Number.  A Panther ID Number is a 9 digit number, beginning with either a "00" or "90"

Note that you do not need to test prior to submitting an application to Georgia State University.  The Panther ID Number is typically generated 24-48 hours after you've applied to the university.
