Special Requests office supplies such as Rolodex, Dymo label maker, USC/CON letterhead, USC/CON folders, USC/CON envelopes, and business cards can be ordered as needed. Special Orders may require department funding and account number.

International calling can also be added if necessary. Please do not use directory assistance (411) from your university phone. This charges the college an unnecessary fee. Please submit a ServiceNow Request if you need assistance.
