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 Brightspace 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.
