In order to retrieve your FSUSN, you must log onto Blackboard. On the left side of the screen you will see a "Tools" link. Find, "FSUID" and click it. You will see "Quicklinks" on the left side of the screen. Click "See Your FSUSN." You will be given two prompts on how you are able to retrieve your FSUSN. You can either use your FSUID username and password. Or, you can use your FSUCard Number and your Social Security Number. When prompted, you must use this number on all required forms.
