Training and Policies

The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) has established a series of on-line training modules for investigators which must be completed before animal use will be allowed. 

You will need to establish an account with the AALAS Learning Library by clicking Enroll Now!, selecting Yes (Were you provided an access code by an institution already subscribed to the AALAS Learning Library?),” then entering USCTraining. You will then be able to create your own username and password. Please enter all of the requested information.  This account must be approved by the DLAR staff so please do not attempt to set up a new account when you do not have immediate access to the premium modules.  You will receive a notice when the account is approved.  When you next log in you should be asked to enter further information including PI/Supervisor, USC Billing Fund #, and Department.

The IACUC has several other policies concerning animal use which investigators must be familiar with:
