TO APPLICANTS:

Through this application portal, you will submit your application, send requests for letters of recommendation/transcript, upload supporting documents and be prompted to pay fees.

To begin, you will need to register by creating an account by clicking on the yellow “Register” button on the top right-hand corner of the screen. 

Please use proper capitalization (legal first/last names) when registering and completing your application as it will appear on all USC documentation. Once you have submitted your online application, you will be unable to make any changes.

Review our Application Guide and Best Practices for more information.

TO RECOMMENDERS & COUNSELORS:

You may complete your student's request for an online letter of recommendation and/or transcript upload through this application portal. Please note, the system classifies all requests as 'recommendations'. Please read all instructions carefully to ensure you are submitting the correct information.

Please note, students must initiate requests through their application before you can access your recommender account. Once initiated, you will receive an email invitation with the next steps and will be directed to this application portal to complete the request. In some cases, the request may be in the junk/spam folder. If necessary, you may use the "Forgot your password?" option on the log-in page to reset your account, log in and access the request(s).
