• I am a distance learning student. Why should I get a USFCard?

The USFCard is necessary for you to get a NetID which you will need in order to access USF's Portal and Blackboard classes. Distance learning students can also use their USFCard to check out materials from the USF Library; to gain entry to USF athletic events and campus recreation facilities; to gain student discounts to movie theaters and restaurants; and much more.
