<p>Despite the message on the login page ([“http://usconnect.usc.edu/”](<a href=“http://usconnect.usc.edu/]“http://usconnect.usc.edu/”[/url]”>http://usconnect.usc.edu/)</a>) saying that 2012-2013 applicants will receive a separate invitation to join USConnect, it seems like you can already create your account right now.</p>
<p>Under “First-time users,” you can request a password to create your account. Use the email that you used with your application (Common App). You will receive a temporary password in your email; just follow the instructions afterwards to create your own password and account.</p>
<p>Once you are logged in, you can find “Admission Documents” under the “Admissions” tab. Here, in the Document Management System, you can view the statuses of all your submitted documents. You can see exactly what documents were successfully received. Your USC ID number is also located at the top. If there are any other documents/information that are still required of you, it will be indicated here as well.</p>
