USCeRA PRODUSC Authentication System |
If you have already signed up for multifactor authentication under myaccount.sc.edu, use one of the following to login:
- Network Username - This is primary method enrolled students, faculty, staff, and affiliates use to connect to university systems. This credential is the first portion of your official university email address (before @mailbox.sc.edu or @email.sc.edu).
- VIP ID - This eight-digit number is assigned when a person applies for admission to the university or for financial aid. Admitted students can find their VIP ID in their acceptance materials.
- Blackboard Auxiliary ID - allows access to Blackboard for users who do not have a Network Username or VIP ID but have a legitimate need to access the system.
