How: 

You can activate your DataCamp account by entering your university-affiliated email address and going through the USC single sign-on screen. Get started today with recommended learning paths tailored to your needs. 

Steps to activate your DataCamp account using USC SSO:

  • Go to the login link: https://app.datacamp.com/.
  • Enter your university-affiliated email address.
  • The system will detect that you have a USC address and redirect you to sign in via the USC Single Sign On (SSO) screen.
  • Once SSO is complete, you will be redirected back to your DataCamp account to continue using the service.

Subsequent logins using SSO:

  • Go to the login link: https://app.datacamp.com/.
  • Enter your university-affiliated email address.
  • This will launch a full DataCamp login screen where you can opt to enter a password or click a button labeled “Use SSO.” Do not enter your password here; instead, select the “Use SSO” button. This will take you to the USC SSO screen to finish logging in.
  • Once SSO is complete, you will be redirected back to your DataCamp account to continue using the service.

NOTE: If you create a DataCamp account using your university email address, rather than following the SSO steps above, you will not receive full access to DataCamp courses. Please be sure to follow the steps above to ensure full access to all DataCamp courses at no cost to you.


Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
