Alcohol Policy

The possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages on the University of Southern California campus is governed by appropriate state and municipal laws and is further governed by University regulations. The University Policy concerning alcohol, applicable University regulations, procedure for dealing with an alcohol violation by a student organization, and a definition of possible sanctions for student organizations are discussed in the complete policy. Student organizations may NOT use university money for alcohol.

For more information, review SCampus or contact the Office of Campus Activities.
 

AV Equipment

Students can rent AV equipment in HOH 300.
 

Bank Accounts

Opening a Bank Account with the USC Credit Union

Student organizations may open a bank account with the USC Credit Union. These accounts CANNOT accept any University money. Please go to the Credit Union to establish the account.

You will need:

• A completed Account Authorization Form (available from USC Campus Activities Office)
• A copy of your recognition letter sent to you when your organization received recognition
• A completed signature card with signatures from at least two students and the organization's advisor (provided by the USC Credit Union)

• A completed Tax Identification Form (provided by the USC Credit Union)

Event Planning Guidelines

There are many issues to consider when planning an event for your organization.  The following guideline sheet will assist as you begin this process.

 

Funding Resources

Limited funding is available to USC and Marshall recognized organizations.  Once you have been approved for funding, please fill out and submit the Marshall Funding Request at least two weeks prior to your event.  After your event, please fill out, sign and submit an Expense Report and receipts to Jennifer Alderete in HOH 200.  Checks will be cut in the name of a member, not your student organization, so the reimbursee will need to submit their social security number and an off-campus mailing address.  Original receipts submitted for reimbursement must be mounted with clear tape on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of white paper.
