DPS Party Notification Form

In partnership with USC Student Life and DPS, the DPS Party Notification Form party notification form has been developed for all recognized student organizations and is an opportunity to notify DPS about your upcoming party.

The success of the DPS Party Notification Form relies upon the continued cooperation of students, faculty, staff, advisors, and alumni to understand the spirit of personal responsibility with regards to hosting an off-campus party.

As a reminder, use of the form does relieve any individual of their responsibilities toward those who attend your event or towards your neighbors.

USC wants you to be a good host and even better neighbor!
