ESS vs SourcePoint Login:

SRU credentials and PASSHE credentials are two separate accounts.

Both accounts expire every 90 days.

You can maintain both by using the self service tools for each account.

The following are instructions for logging into ESS and SourcePoint.

ESS – uses your SRU credentials.

In a web browser enter portal.passhe.edu
In the dropdown select Slippery Rock University.
Login with your SRU email address and password.

SourcePoint – uses your PASSHE credentials. Your username is your full SRU email address. Your password is separate from your SRU password, meaning your password for SourcePoint could be different from your SRU password. Your SourcePoint password expires every 90 days and cannot be repeated. We recommend when you change your SRU password, that you also change your PASSHE password, to keep them on the same schedule. Additionally, you should setup your Self-Service Portal security information, instructions are below.
