Photo/Video on Tours |
We look forward to hosting all campus guests on a campus tour, and we invite you to take photos and videos of your experience while touring. Our Student Ambassadors and Tour Guides have a great deal of information so share with you in a short amount of time, so we kindly ask guests to refrain from taking pictures or videos of them during the tour. If you want a photo with your Tour Guide to commemorate your visit, please ask their permission following the conclusion of your tour. |
Minors on Tours |
We welcome visitors of all ages to tour the University Park Campus of USC. To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all campus visitors, the Admission Center requires at least one adult (parent, chaperone, guardian, teacher or counselor, to name a few) to accompany and supervise visitors under the age of 16. |
