GT Account Activation and Termination

Student Account Activation and Termination

Activation

After an account has been created, it must be activated before it is used. If you are an applicant or a student, the easiest way to activate your account is through our online account management system https://passport.gatech.edu/. There you will find a link near the bottom of the page that says "I need to activate my account (Students Only)"

If you experience any problems with account activation, you may visit the Technology Support Center in person, Monday - Thursday 8am-9pm (EST), and Friday 8am-6pm (EST) or you may call them at 404-894-7173. Telephone support hours are Monday - Friday 8am-5pm. (EST).

Termination

Under normal circumstances, student GT Accounts are terminated one semester after a student leaves Georgia Tech. If a student leaves (voluntarily or otherwise) without completing the current semester, the student's GT Account will be terminated immediately.

Creation and termination of student accounts happens automatically based on information from the Registrar. When a student does not register for classes for a particular semester, a termination date is set for the end of that semester. If the student doesn't register for the following semester, the termination date is reached and the account will no longer function. If the student does register for the following semester, the termination date is removed and the account continues to operate normally.
