ALL STUDENTS
Solutions to common issues are provided below. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us through one of the following:
Why am I unable to see or access some services within youSC?
- The services displayed within youSC are determined by your admission or enrollment status with the Offices of Admission and Financial Aid. Additionally, some services may be available only during particular times of the year. If you feel your status needs to be reviewed or updated, please call us at (213) 740-1111.
Why does my youSC session time out even though other applications or services are still functional?
- Each service or application you access via youSC will have its own timeout settings. Although youSC generally times out after one (1) hour, this will not affect other open applications or services, and you should remain logged in to them.
To protect your privacy and prevent unauthorized use, log out and completely exit your web browser when you are finished browsing. You may be still logged in to other personalized websites you visited during this session.
