Synergy SIS access is automated based on an employee's job code. Access to Synergy is automatically provided when an employee's email is created and is based on the role of the employee (ie. if a user is a teacher they automatically have access to attendance, gradebook and report cards). If the job code is accurate and the employee still does not have required access to Synergy, please see steps below.

Requesting Expanded Access to Synergy:  

Expanded access is appropriate when there is an identified need to access certain areas or screens of our Student Information System that are not typically included in the access granted through the employee’s job code. To gain expanded access:

1. Principal or employee supervisor should submit the Synergy Online Expanded Access Request form.
2. Once submitted, a Help Desk ticket is automatically generated prompting a response from the Help Desk. 

   If the request is approved, see Step 3. If the request is denied, Help Desk will respond to your ticket.

3. The Department of Technology (DoT) Student Systems team member will update the access in Synergy and close the ticket.

Synergy Access - non-SFUSD employees:

If you are a non-district employee the Site Administrator or Central Office Supervisor/Director who is supervising the non-district employee can apply for Synergy access. Once submitted the access request is reviewed by the Chief Technology Officer and granted on a case-by-case basis. For more information on how to apply for non-employee Synergy access please contact the Help Desk (415-241-6476).
