What can you receive with your athletics scholarship?

  • You are permitted to receive only books and supplies that are required or recommended, for courses that you are currently enrolled in.
  • You may only receive one set of required books/supplies. If you lose them, you must replace them at your own expense.

Textbooks are prepackaged for student-athletes and are distributed during a team meeting the first week of each term. Every Student-Athlete on book scholarship must sign a book form each semester, including summer (if enrolled in summer courses).


What do I need to bring to the Bookstore to get my books?

  • Your USC student ID
  • Unfulfilled Form or Reimbursement Form


What if my course syllabus requires books or supplies that I have not received?

  • Go to SAAS with your syllabus/book list and have an Unfulfilled Form completed and signed by your Academic Advisor. Take the Unfulfilled Form to the Bookstore to get the book or supply.
  • Go to the Customer Service Center on the 3rd Floor of the University Bookstore.


What if my course syllabus does not list books or supplies that the professor states are required?

  • Get a memo on department letterhead from your professor stating that the books/supplies are required for the course, or have the instructor email your SAAS Academic Advisor directly from their USC email account.
  • Take the memo to your SAAS Academic Advisor. If the books/supplies are available at the Bookstore, you will be given an Unfulfilled Form. If the materials are not available at the Bookstore, you may then purchase the items and bring the receipt to your Academic Advisor with your syllabus to be reimbursed.


What if I add a class or drop/withdraw from a class?

  • You must return the books immediately to your SAAS Academic Advisor. Do not return books to the Bookstore! You will be charged for any unreturned books for a dropped course.
  • If you added a class, get the syllabus or book list for the new course and bring it to your SAAS Academic Advisor to receive an Unfulfilled Form.
