ARC Portal's BiosafetyNet supports USF NetID
Single Sign-on in addition to ARC Portal login. Need more information
about this feature? Please see the Questions and Answers
below:
Why are there two ways to login to ARC Portal's
BiosafetyNet?
Historically, ARC Portal has required a
separate username and password for system access. With USF NetID
Single Sign-on, most USF employed/student users will be able to
access their submissions with the same login they already use for other USF
systems. Since not all ARC Portal users have an active USF
NetID, existing ARC Portal logins will continue to work as
before.
I have an active NetID, can
I use it to login to BiosafetyNet?
Yes, as long as your ARC Portal
account is active and your ARC Portal username matches with your USF
NetID. If you have questions about updating your ARC Portal username to
match your USF NetID, please contact the ARC Help Desk at
rsch-arc@usf.edu or (813)
974-2880.
Do new users still have to register through ARC Portal to
receive an account?
Yes, the account registration process
has not changed. All new users must register for access through ARC's
'Register Here' link on the home page. This includes users who need access to
BullsIRB and/or BiosafetyNet.
Why doesn't my USF NetID password work on the ARC Portal
Login screen?
USF NetID login can only occur on the USF NetID login
page to which you are redirected upon selecting the 'USF NetID' login
option. After successful USF NetID login, you will be redirected and
automatically logged into BiosafetyNet.
What happens when I use the "Forgot
Username" and "Forgot Password" links in ARC's
BiosafetyNet?
The BiosafetyNet site's "Forgot Username"
and "Forgot Password" links only manage your ARC Portal login
credentials and must be done on ARC's site (not BullsIRB or BiosafetyNet). Upon
using these services, you will receive an ARC system email that
contains your ARC Portal username or a link to reset your
ARC Portal password. An ARC Portal password reset will have no effect on
your ability to use USF NetID to login.
