USC Drug Free
The USC Drug-Free Web site offers links to USC policies and a variety of information and resources on drug/alcohol use and abuse. For more information and guidelines for campus events that involve alcohol, visit www.usc.edu/drugfree.
Track and Field
“The Trojans have few peers in the cinder sport. Claimants of the longest dual meet streak in track and field history with 104 consecutive dual meets without a loss, the Trojans have also won 21 of the 31 NCAA meets competed in. In the Pacific Coast Conference action, the Trojans were defeated but once from 1928 through 1959 in the league meet.”

Student Services
Commuter Students
USC offers a wide array of services and events for commuter and transfer students to become more involved on campus and in the community. To start off the new academic year, Undergraduate Student Government sponsors a commuter and transfer student picnic in Alumni Park.
Undergraduate Student Government includes five commuter senators who represent non-greek students living outside the 90007 and 90089 zip codes. These senators are available to direct you to resources and to represent your concerns to university administration. Information about the commuter senators is available online at senate.usc.edu.
Events
USC’s arts and events calendar (www.usc.edu) includes a full list of music, exhibits, theatre, public lectures and athletic events.
Involvement
The Office of Campus Activities, located in Hazel and Stanley Hall, offers a variety of opportunities for student involvement and leadership development. A searchable list of USC’s 600 plus student organizations is available online at www.usc.edu/ca. Student organizations are grouped by type, including academic, cultural, political, recreational, religious/spiritual, residential, service and social groups.
Campus Activities sponsors an Involvement Fair during the first week of fall and spring semesters. All recognized student organizations and departments are invited to showcase their organizations and to recruit new members. More than 250 organizations and departments participate in the fair each year.
News
For the latest campus news, turn to USC’s student newspaper – the Daily Trojan – available daily in print and electronic form. A special orientation issue is available during Welcome Week that includes more information about campus programs, services and events. To view the newspaper online, visit www.dailytrojan.com.
Parking
Campus parking can be an important aspect of college life. We strongly encourage all students to explore the many parking and commuting options available at transnet.usc.edu .
For Commuter and On Campus Residents
If you plan to commute to campus or will live on campus and need to park your vehicle, we encourage you to apply for one of our commuter or on-campus parking permits.
For-Off Campus Residential Students
If you will be living at an off-campus USC housing location and need to park your vehicle, you will need to apply for a residential parking permit.
Dates and Deadlines
Fall 2009/spring 2010 student parking permits will be awarded through a lottery selection process. The lottery registration period will begin on May 1 and the deadline to register is July 6 at noon. Beginning July 11 remaining permits may be purchased online, first- come, first-served. For more information, please call USC Transportation at (213) 740-3575 or visit transnet.usc.edu.
Ridesharing
Commuter Connections, USC’s Ridesharing Program, offers alternative options for getting to campus.
Zimride
Whether you have a car or need a ride, USC’s Zimride community can help you find carpool partners. Just log on to zimride.usc.edu, post your communte and Zimride will help you find others going the same way you are.
Carpooling gives you a chance to relax, save money on gasoline, parking costs, vehicle maintenance and insurance, and helps to ease traffic and reduce pollution. The basic carpool consists of two to four USC faculty, staff or students who ride to campus together in one vehicle. As an added incentive, carpools receive discounted parking.
Vanpool
If your schedule coincides with more traditional workday hours, a vanpool may work for you. The vanpool program is designed to reduce the cost and hassle of traveling to campus by providing affordable shared transportation for employees and students. For a monthly or daily fee, you can get a ride to and from campus from a variety of cities. For more information, visit transnet.usc.edu/public_transit/vanpool.aspx.
Public Transportation
If you rely on public transportation, USC Transportation can provide you with maps, schedules and general information about the lines/systems that service USC. In addition, the office sells monthly transit passes and stamps for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) Dash and Commuter Express buses, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metro buses and subways, and Metrolink trains between the 25th and 10th of each month. Students can purchase passes at a discounted rate. Visit transnet.usc.edu for more information.
