USC Central Authentication Service (CAS)
NIH SP
The NIH Service Provider (SP) controls access by scientists, researchers, and collaborators worldwide to protected NIH systems and sites across all NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices. To access resources protected by the NIH SP, external requestors are required to authenticate (often using multifactor authentication) and grant the release of a limited set of information such as name, email, and affiliation. (About NIH: The National Institutes of Health (NIH), an agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is the medical research agency of the United States making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.)
If you receive an ACCESS DENIED message, please visit myaccount.sc.edu and click the Account Settings field to setup multifactor authentication.
For security reasons, please log out and exit your web browser when you are finished accessing services that require authentication.
If you have signed up for multifactor authentication under myaccount.sc.edu, use one of the following to login:
- Network Username - This is primary method enrolled students, faculty, staff, and affiliates use to connect to university systems. This credential is the first portion of your official university email address (before @mailbox.sc.edu or @email.sc.edu).
- VIP ID - This eight-digit number is assigned when a person applies for admission to the university or for financial aid. Admitted students, faculty, staff and affiliates must authenticate with their Network Username.
- Blackboard Auxiliary ID - Allows access to Blackboard for users who do not have a Network Username or VIP ID but have a legitimate need to access the system.
