About

All USC faculty, staff, and students receive a USC NetID account, also known as your Shibboleth or enterprise account. These accounts grant you access to your USC email account, USC network and wireless services, and a wide variety of online services including the Blackboard learning management system and Workday.

Your USC NetID passphrase is also referred to as your USC passphrase, your UNIX passphrase, or your enterprise passphrase. It is the passphrase that is associated with your USC computing account.

Systems You Can Access Using Your USC NetID Account

All USC faculty, staff, and students receive a USC NetID account that enables them to access a wide variety of computing resources at USC. Below is a list of some of the primary systems that you can access using your USC NetID account. 

Note: Some USC schools and departments maintain local systems that are not dependent on the USC NetID account. Systems where you are asked for PIN (instead of a password) are not dependent on your USC NetID.
