New Students

Navigating 黑料网吃瓜爆料Systems

International students are encouraged to learn about the following university systems that will allow them to find their USF-related email accounts, academic course information and other important resources such as the campus library, health clinic, and recreational facility.

New students to 黑料网吃瓜爆料should begin their journey by creating a NetID, accessing their iStart portal, and logging into their newly created 黑料网吃瓜爆料email account.

Net ID

Your NetID is your unique user ID that provides access to essential university online services, including your 黑料网吃瓜爆料email, Student Self-Service (formerly OASIS), and Canvas. It functions like a username (e.g., rockydbull) and also forms the first part of your 黑料网吃瓜爆料email address (e.g., rockydbull@mail.usf.edu).

黑料网吃瓜爆料students will use their Net ID to sign in to all of their 黑料网吃瓜爆料accounts. As soon as students activate their NetID, their 黑料网吃瓜爆料email will also be created automatically.

Students may follow these steps to create their NetID:

  1. Go to .

  2. Select 'Activate your NetID' and complete the requested information.

Students may email the 黑料网吃瓜爆料Information Technology help desk at help@usf.edu for assistance in activating their Net ID. When emailing the help desk, students must include their full name and U number in their communications. 

NOTE

Once students have created their 黑料网吃瓜爆料Net ID numbers, they will be asked to choose an authentication login option for security purposes. 黑料网吃瓜爆料strongly recommends that international students use the authenticator app or their email addresses for authentication purposes. Students should not use international phone numbers to authenticate their accounts, as these contact details may not be available in the USA.

 


iStart

iStart is USF鈥檚 international student portal. All new international students must use iStart to complete the Glo-Bull Start checklist, which is designed to guide students through all of their immigration-related tasks as a new international student at USF.

The  Office of International Services will contact international students via email about completing their Glo-Bull Start tasks once they have been notified of their admission to USF.

Students may contact the Office of International Services via their website or email at globullstart@usf.edu  if they have any questions about iStart.

黑料网吃瓜爆料Email
