On the Employee Information Entry Page, enter in all of the following information:
Enter your 7-digit Employee ID or your 10-digit USC ID.
Enter your 9-digit Social Security Number.
You may enter the number with dashes (e.g., 000-00-0000), or without dashes as a single string of numbers (e.g., 000000000).Enter your Last Name.
Enter your First Name. Do not include any middle names or initials.
Enter your Date of Birth in the format MM/DD/YYYY.
You may enter single-digit numbers without the leading zero, but you must enter the full 4-digit year.
You may also use dashes instead of forward slashes. (e.g., 12/01/1960 or 12-1-1960)Enter your 10-digit Home Phone Number. (This is your phone number at home, not the Home Department phone number.)
You may enter the number with parentheses (e.g., (000)000-0000 ), with dashes (e.g., 000-000-0000), or as a single string of numbers (e.g., 0000000000).Enter your 10-digit Home Department Code.
You can find the 10 digit Department code by looking up the Department Name from the Department Listing, or you can ask your Home Department Coordinator for the department code.After entering all your correct data, click on the "Submit" button to verify your identity.
If the system matches all your information, you will see the PIN Entry Page.
If the data you entered is missing or does not match what is in your records, the system will display an error message and send you an e-mail alerting you of the problem. You will have to restart the PIN Setup from the beginning.
Note that you have only a limited number of attempts to enter your information correctly. If you are unable to verify your identify after 5 tries, the system will disable your access and you will have to contact your Home Department Coordinator to reset your access. Your system records may be incorrect or out of date. Your Home Department Coordinator can verify your data and help you set up your PIN.
If you choose to exit the PIN setup process, click on the "Cancel" button.
