EVENT MANAGEMENT TOOLS

University Event Permit Application (UEPA)

The University Event Permit Application (UEPA) assists Event Organizers in planning successful events that comply with university policies and rules designed to protect the core functions of our University and uphold the rights of all members of our community. A UEPA is required to be submitted in advance of all events or gatherings, both on and off USC’s campuses, in accordance with the university events policy. A venue must be reserved prior to the submission of a UEPA, except in the case of a last-minute event (see definition on the UEPA). Once submitted, university planning departments will review, provide their feedback and an event approval or denial, based on the details of the submission. Please allow a minimum of 3 weeks for submission (6 weeks is preferred).

Event Planning Contacts

Before moving forward with your event, please obtain all required approvals from the appropriate departments (e.g., Safety, Parking, Facilities). View the departmental contact directory.

University Approved Caterers

USC Business Services maintains a list of University Approved Catering Vendors which can be used without the need for further approval outside of the UEPA. The vendors are required to keep active a number of permits and insurance to be on this list. Some vendors may not be up to date and the event planner may be required to have them brought to current to move forward with their usage. View University approved caterers.
