USC Email

All Academy students receive a USC email address. You can use this email address to contact your teachers and classmates, sign up for events on campus, and use certain university services.

Activate Your Account

To start using your USC email, you will need to activate your USC account.

You will need your USC account to…

Tips to remember when activating your account:

  • Type your name EXACTLY as it appears on your USCard
