Welcome to the USF MBA program!!

 

Things you should know and do before the New Student Orientation:

Schedules/Registration

OASIS:  http://usfweb2.usf.edu/oasis/

OASIS is the university’s on-line registration system.    All registration is done via the web. 

Students will have new ID numbers to replace your Social Security numbers. Your new USF-ID number will look like this: U1234-5678.  It will be used for class rosters, academic advising, the OASIS system, bookstore purchases, parking permits, and in other places throughout campus. Obtain your new USF-ID number by logging on to OASIS for the first time.

The first-time you access your records through OASIS, you will be prompted to enter your Social Security Number and a six-digit Personal Identification Number.  This will allow you to login and see your USF-ID for future use.  If this is the first time you have accessed the system and do not yet have a PIN, enter your date of birth (for example, 070178). You will then be prompted to designate a new PIN number.

[ If you are a returning USF student, you will need to remember your OASIS PIN.  If you forgot  your PIN, you must provide the Registrar’s Office a written request or identification that includes Student ID, Date of Birth, and signature.  Fax the request (813- 974-5271) or deliver to SVC 1034 in Tampa.  Once your PIN is reset, you can access OASIS using your birth date.  Please note you will be required to declare a new PIN. ]

Please check the OASIS systems to ensure your account does not show any registration holds EXCEPT for a BO code registration hold.

NOTE:  The BO registration hold will show on your account until you attend the required Program Orientation.
