Stay Connected
Social Media
Connect with us by following the @USCAlumni handle on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X (Twitter)! Our handles are all about you, so be sure to use hashtag #USCAlumni on all your social media channels.
FightOnline
Once your degree is conferred, you’ll receive an email asking you to create a profile for our official alumni portal. Please note: while you may receive an email letting you know that your degree has been conferred, it can take up to 6o days for that data to move into our alumni database. Once you receive your welcome email, be sure to access and take advantage of the alumni portal:
- Remember to login to verify your contact information and activate your free lifetime Alumni Association membership.
- FightOnline gives you access to the only verified alumni directory, a digital membership card, event registration, the latest alumni news and more.
- Don’t forget that your @usc.edu student email account expires twelve months after you graduate! So while logged in, set up your very own @alumni.usc.edu alumni email address. Visit our FAQ page for more information.
Provide a Secondary Email Address
Ensure that we can stay in contact with you after graduation by providing non-Campus email address at which we can reach you. As a reminder, it is university policy that your student usc.edu email account will expire twelve months after graduation. To ensure that you don’t lose access to important information associated with this account, we strongly encourage you to begin to migrate to a new email address.
The Trojan Network
Once your degree is conferred, be on the lookout for an invitation to set up your alumni account on The Trojan Network, USC’s online networking and mentorship program. In the meantime, you can register with MyUSC through the end of the summer! Our online platform is easy and convenient to use, wherever you are. Connect with alumni in your chosen field or who share your interests, for career advice, resume or CV feedback, interview tips, mentoring or networking opportunities and more.
Alumni Communities
We know that every Trojan has their own story, which is why we offer so many ways to stay involved with USC as you move through life. From our industry networks to our age-based, regional or multicultural groups—it’s easy to keep your connection to the Trojan Family.
