As a USC student,, you will automatically be given a University E-mail account. You can access your messages online or forward it to another address so you don’t have to check multiple accounts. Information and instructions on how to do this can be found at http://www.sc.edu/universityemail/doc_forwarding.shtml 

Your University E-mail address is the default e-mail address used in Blackboard, so be sure this account is checked often so you don’t miss important e-mails from your professors.

Your username and password is your USC Network username and password found at https://vip.sc.edu under the Technology link.
