Safety at ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ

The University of South Florida System maintains a comprehensive Emergency Notification System (ENS), called Alertľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ, for the purpose of issuing immediate notification to keep the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ community informed and safe during an emergency situation. There is also a free app you can download called the ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Safe App.

Setting Up Your ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ NetID

Your NetID allows you to login to various online services offered through the university. Students, faculty, staff, and scholars should create a NetID to begin using these services. For more information, please contact Information Technology at (813) 074-1222 or help@usf.edu.

Cell Phones

When choosing a cell phone provider, make sure to ask if there is a special plan for students or discounts for ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ students as well as what's needed to set up a service plan. You may also want to consider how much data you'll need, international calling options, text message plans, and how many individuals will be on the account. Some providers require a Social Security Number (SSN) and may require a background check.

ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Information Technology

ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Information Technology (ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ IT) provides technology services and support in a variety of areas for the entire ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ system. They're located in the Student Services Building (SVC) on the fourth floor, and you may reach them at (813) 074-1222 or help@usf.edu.
