You’re in! What’s next?
Welcome, New Students!
Congratulations on your admission to your master’s program at the University of San Diego! To help you prepare for your upcoming term, we’ve put together a checklist of important next steps to complete before you begin.
Accept Your Admission & Pay Deposit
We are excited to embark on this journey with you! As a new graduate student of USD Online, ensure you complete these steps to secure your spot in the program.
1. Review Your Acceptance Email
Read through your formal acceptance email from the Office of Graduate Admissions
2. Retrieve Your Temporary Username and Password
Before you sign into your MySanDiego portal, you’ll need your temporary username and password.
Enter your Last Name and UNID (also known as CAS ID).
If you don’t remember your CAS ID, check the email from the university with the subject line “Save this email for your graduate application | University of San Diego.” It contains your CAS ID. If you can’t find this email or need assistance, email USD Graduate Admission ([email protected]). Your CAS ID is also listed under your name in the Application portal.

5. Submit Your Enrollment Commitment
The Enrollment Commitment Form confirms your intent to start your program and allows our student success team to manage your class registration and begin the new student onboarding process. Look out for an email from your program with the link to complete the enrollment commitment form.
