MyUCSC Help for Applicants

MyUCSC Access

MyUCSC is the student information system used by applicants, students, faculty and staff. Users log in to MyUCSC with a CruzID. Applicants use MyUCSC for tasks including but not limited to verifying receipt of admission materials, checking their admission status, stating their intent to register (SIR) and viewing their financial aid offer. MyUCSC is used by students to enroll in classes, check their grades, view their financial aid and billing accounts, and update their personal information. MyUCSC also provides information on other campus services.

MyUCSC accounts for applicants are created automatically during the admission process. If you are having difficulty signing into MyUCSC, please contact the ITS Support Center at help@ucsc.edu or (831) 459-HELP (4357).

Claiming your CruzID Account

Applicants use CruzID Manager to claim their UCSC campus CruzID account and set their CruzID Gold Password. CruzID Manager is an application that provides authentication and password services for many campus systems, including MyUCSC, Canvas, Slug Success, Campus Housing, University Dining and UCSC email. Once the CruzID account has been claimed, the user may log in to MyUCSC using their CruzID.

New applicants to UCSC are sent a welcome letter that includes instructions on how to claim their CruzID and log in to MyUCSC.
