Student USFconnect accounts, including access to email, are created automatically at the time of admission and are sent via USPS and personal e-mail. Access to auxiliary services, including Blackboard, and the USF network, is added upon receipt of an admission deposit or space reservation form.
Student accounts are preserved to become alumni accounts upon graduation. Students who do not graduate but who complete at least 15 units may request alumni accounts.
- If you do not know your password, and did not have a staff or faculty role at USF, you may reset your password by clicking on the 'Need your password?' link on the USFconnect login page and using the password reset tool.
- If you have any problem accessing your accounts, please contact the Help Desk.
Upon Graduation
After graduation you transition to Alumni status. You retain access to your Donsmail e-mail account and limited web portal services if you don't have any other roles at the University. If you need assistance transitioning your account after graduation, please contact the Help Desk.
1098t Tax Information
Graduates may use their Alumni role to access 1098-T information at any
time. Former students who have withdrawn without graduating retain
access to their 1098-T tax information for one full year following the
year in which they withdrew from the university. For instance, a student
withdrawing in 2011 would retain access through calendar year 2012.
