Creating or Updating your GEMS Bookmark 

There is no change to the URL for accessing GEMS and Self Service however bookmarks may need to be updated. 

PeopleSoft has programmed certain defaults into its web access instructions, due to these defaults PeopleSoft application pages should not be bookmarked, rather the specific URL (web address) should be saved. Users can always access GEMS via the Sign into GEMS link on the GEMS Website.      

To update your GEMS Bookmark and to correctly save a link to GEMS follow these instructions:

Drag and drop the short cut into your browser's favorites folder or follow the steps below.

1.       Start the URL  https://gems.fastmail.usf.edu/gemspro/signon.html

2.       Click on the tab Favorites, then Add to Favorites

3.       Click on the tab Favorites, Organize Favorites

4.       Locate the one you just saved from the list displayed and right click it

5.       Select properties

6.       Change the URL link to the link in Step 1.

7.       Click Apply, OK then close

If your GEMS Bookmark address contains “servlets/iclientservlet” it will no longer be valid.  The PeopleSoft URLs change when you click on them to access the Sign In pages.  The new URL changes to included “psp” when you access the sign in page.  Users need to bookmark the link that does not include “psp” as outlined in the instructions above.

If you have trouble accessing GEMS, you can send an email to the Help Desk at helpdesk@admin.usf.edu or log a problem ticket at www.usf.edu./helpdesk.

Default Password Format 

If your password was issued before April 19, 2005 the format has not altered and is as follows: the last 4-digits of your Social Security Number THEN your 4-digit year of birth THEN a period. Example: 12341943. 

For those hired after April 14th, 2005 a new password formula will be used.  Your User ID is your full 11 digit Employee ID. The first time you log in, your default password is the combination of the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number, an equal sign, and your 4-digit year of birth. Example: 1234=1943 

Forgot Password 

Only pre-set password hint questions will work after the upgrade. If you created a custom question in GEMS, for your Forgot Password setup, please login to GEMS and update it to a standard hint question.

Help 

If you have trouble accessing GEMS, please send an email to the Help Desk at helpdesk@admin.usf.edu or log a problem ticket at www.usf.edu./helpdesk.
