<p>Is it during orientation that we get our USC emails? Or is there a way to get yours before?</p>
<p>There is...<a href="https://secweb.usc.edu/cgi-local/firstlogin/showform?form=activate%5B/url%5D">https://secweb.usc.edu/cgi-local/firstlogin/showform?form=activate</a></p>
<p>It's the same website you use during orientation in one of the computer labs on campus. As to when the system will give you your email address, no clue. Just keep trying. I got mine a week or two before orientation.</p>
<p>i had to wait until orientation for mine... but facebook wasn't really that popular then, so who knows.</p>
<p>From what I remember, I'm pretty sure you get your emails before orientation, probably sometime in the summer after everyone turns in their intent to enroll and you receive all your enrollment information.</p>
<p>FYI, your email addresses are automatically generated, so don't be too surprised if your email address doesn't completely resemble your name. Don't try contacting ISD to change it either. Tried that, failed.</p>
<p>I really want my facebook! Yeah, I'm pretty sure we won't be able to get our e-mails until after we've submitted our enrollment deposit... probably a week or two before orientation, as protokurios said.</p>
<p>I'm glad you're looking forward to getting a "real" facebook account instead of joining as a high schooler. I hate that facebook ruined the excitement.</p>
<p>Your email address is generated the week before your orientation session. You can then get your address through First Login.</p>
<p>THANKS! I'll sign up for the first orientation session... lol :)</p>
<p>orientation basically.</p>
