ACCESSING ARES
Access to ARES requires your USC Net ID and password. Your USC NetID, which is sometimes also referred to as your "username", is the first part of your USC e-mail address; the part before the "@". For example, if your email were 'ttrojan@usc.edu' you would enter 'ttrojan' in the USC NetID box. Your password is the same as the one you would use to access email using the USC email system.
