George Tirebiter

“Time was when George Tirebiter, SC’s shaggy dog mascot, would slip into Bovard after a hot morning of snapping at speeding autos on University Avenue and listen to Dr. Russell Caldwell’s rare blending of American history and American humor. Adopted by the students, Tirebiter was dutifully in attendance at our football games, his wild barking and excitement being interpreted as a dog’s way of expressing joy.”

Getting Started
Student ID Card
The USCard, your 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 on campus 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 and many computer centers located on campus.
Your student ID card can also be used to activate an optional discretionary or debit account which 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 (where accepted), you simply “swipe” your card. Your purchases are deducted from your USCard account. 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 can also call our Customer Service Group 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 replace your USCard by visiting one of our Customer Service locations.
If you attend an on-campus orientation program and have completed pre-orientation homework to send in an image, your ID card will be ready at check-in. Your card may also be obtained 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. We recommend you send in a photo or 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 USC ID card 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.
