The USC policy website is our official home for all university policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At USC, <\/strong>policies are at the heart of an effective ethics and compliance program. A successful policy management program is built upon a clearly defined program strategy and supported by policy documents and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Office of Ethics and Compliance<\/strong> manages the university\u2019s policies, processes, and procedures throughout all stages of the policy life cycle – including drafting, editing, approving, updating, distributing, and maintaining an auditable database of records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to creating a safe and productive work and learning environment, and as such, USC faculty, staff, and students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with these policies and adhering to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For hospital staff and clinical faculty and staff, additional policy is available at KeckNet and the Verdugo Hills Hospital Intranet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To access the institutional policies located behind Shibboleth log-in, please utilize your @usc.edu email address. If you attempt to log-in utilizing your school or department address such as @keck.usc.edu, @marshall.usc.edu, etc. the policies will not be accessible.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
