University Stationery

USC stationery consists of approved designs for letterhead, envelopes and business cards. These designs reinforce the university’s brand and identity, and may only be ordered through a person in your unit delegated to process requisitions, typically, your Senior Business Officer. If you have any questions about the order process, please contact USC Procurement and Strategic Sourcing at purchasing@usc.edu.

All university employees are required to use the approved university stationery templates. USC does not allow changes or alterations to the design of the approved university stationery templates.
