New Students
Navigating 无码专区 Systems
International students are encouraged to learn about the following university systems that will allow them to find their 无码专区-related email accounts, academic course information and other important resources such as the campus library, health clinic, and recreational facility.
New students to 无码专区 should begin their journey by creating a NetID, accessing their
iStart portal, and logging into their newly created 无码专区 email account.
Net ID
Your NetID is your unique user ID that provides access to essential university online services, including your 无码专区 email, Student Self-Service (formerly OASIS), and Canvas. It functions like a username (e.g., rockydbull) and also forms the first part of your 无码专区 email address (e.g., rockydbull@mail.usf.edu).
