Your ID and Personal Accounts

USFID (U Number)

(Example: #U12345678) The USFID is your unique ID number at USF. Your USFID helps the University provide you with services and helps to safely identify you without the need to disclose your Social Security Number to others. USFID numbers are originally given to you via email in your acceptance letter.

The USFID is used for academic, business and administrative transactions requiring an ID. The USFID is randomly generated within the University's student information system (Student Self-Service), is not derived from any personally identifiable student data, and appears in the format 'U########'. The letter 'U' followed by an eight-digit number is issued only once and remains the student's official primary identifier with USF. It will be permanently and uniquely recognized by Student Self-Service throughout the student's academic career in USF undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.

With its associated password, the NetID allows you access to a variety of online services offered by the university including your email, Student Self-Service account, and Canvas.
