Student ID Card
The USCard, your official student ID, is a must for all USC students and should be carried at all times while on campus. The card, which identifies you as a currently enrolled student, entitles you to various privileges and other convenient uses including: the University Library System, the Lyon Center and other recreational facilities. It also provides you with check cashing privileges at the Cashier’s Office and access to your USC housing complex, elected meal plan and many computer centers located on campus.
Your student ID card may also be used to activate an optional discretionary or prepaid account that allows you to purchase a variety of on-campus products and services. USCard accounts work just like a debit or checking account, where you make initial deposits and instead of using cash, checks or credit cards, you simply “swipe” your card. Purchases are deducted from your USCard account, and the balance declines accordingly. You can manage an array of options with your USCard online at www.usc.edu/uscard, including checking your balance and transaction history and adding funds to your card.
If your student ID card has been lost or stolen, please visit www.usc.edu/uscard and immediately deactivate your card. You may also call USCard Customer Services at (213) 740-8709. Your card will be deactivated immediately, or at the start of the next business day if reported after hours. You can request a replacement card at one of USCard’s Customer Service locations or at www.usc.edu/uscard.
If you upload an image and request your USCard online during pre-orientation homework, your card will be ready for pick-up during orientation. (Refer to the schedule for exact time and location.) Your card may also be obtained in person from the USCard Customer Service offices located in Parking Structure X at the University Park campus or in the Seaver Lobby at the Health Sciences campus. However, we recommend you upload a digital image in advance. Check out the details on the Web at www.usc.edu/uscard. You are required to get a student ID during your first semester at USC. Cards issued after a student’s initial semester of enrollment are subject to a replacement fee.
The student ID card is valid for USC identification purposes only and may not be used for age verification. You may be liable for any unauthorized use of your card prior to notifying the USCard Office in writing of possible loss or theft. As a USCard holder, you agree to comply with all regulations and uses of the card. USCard funds are non-transferable. If you attempt to use someone else’s ID card, you may be referred to the Office of Community Standards and Judicial Affairs.
