ITS currently provides two types of faculty and staff computing accounts: a basic account on the basic compute facility (BCF) and a research account on the research compute facility (RCF). BCF accounts and RCF accounts are currently hosted on the same machine, almaak.usc.edu.
On June 30, 2010, USC's Information Technology Services (ITS) will move all BCF accounts from almaak.usc.edu to a new machine, mizar.usc.edu, in order to ensure a better user experience for both types of account holders.
Please be advised that many illegitimate email messages are sent to USC account holders with variations of the Subject line: Re-Activate Your Account. These phishing schemes are attempts to steal your personal information through legitimate-looking email messages. The messages urge recipients to reply by email and include their USC password and other personal information.
