USC strives to maintain a safe community. Currently, access to the University Park campus is restricted to students, faculty, staff, registered guests and people who have a verifiable business interest on campus. The USC Village is also restricted from 10pm until 6am each night. Only select entrances are open overnight, and security personnel are stationed at each one.
Winter Recess Office Closure
On behalf of the university, we wish every member of our Trojan Family a happy and memorable holiday season!
The USC Alumni Association offices will be closed December 24, 2024 – January 5, 2025 in observance of winter recess. We look forward to connecting with you when we return!
If you would like to visit campus during this time, you may do so by showing your Government Issued ID at any campus entry point. No additional forms are required.
Options for Alumni to Access Campus
For USC alumni who would like to visit campus, there are four options:
Option 1: Show your digital USC Alumni Association membership card
Option 2: Register for a visitor’s pass
If you do not have your digital membership card, degreed alumni and all other current members of the USC Alumni Association (USCAA) may register for a visitor’s pass by completing the USC Alumni Campus Access form a minimum of 48 hours (at least two business days) prior to your intended visit.
Example:
- If you plan to visit on a Friday, registration is due by the Wednesday before.
- If you plan to visit on a Tuesday, registration is due by the Friday before.
- If you plan to visit during the weekend, registration is due by the Thursday before.
Once you complete your form, and your alumni association membership is verified, within 48 hours you will receive an email with a link to a QR code and instructions on how to enter campus.
Can I visit multiple days?
Yes, USC alumni are welcome to visit anytime by completing our form, and specifying an exact range of dates; however, you must complete a new form for additional visits outside of the original range.
Option 3: Take a campus tour
Alumni who would like to enjoy a campus tour with friends and family may register through the admissions campus tours website. No additional forms are needed.
Option 4: Visit as a guest of a current student, faculty or staff member
Alumni who are visiting campus as a guest of current student, faculty or staff member may be registered by their host using the visitor registration form. This includes access for pre-registered events on campus. No additional forms are needed.
Campus security will ask to see a QR Code along with a valid government ID for each registered visitor. Per USC’s policy regarding minors, visitors under the age of 18 are not required to provide a valid government ID, but they must be accompanied by a registered adult at all times.

If you are arriving by car, public transit, or on foot, please review the list of current entrance openings and hours.
