Who needs a CSUA?
All DEA registrants that use CS for research or teaching purposes at USC must enroll in the USC EH&S CSUA Program. A CSUA application must be completed prior to acquiring, storing, or handling controlled substances for the aforementioned purposes.
How do I enroll in the CSUA program?
- Forward a copy of your DEA registration to ehs-cs@usc.edu.
- Complete the CSUA Application and forward a copy to ehs-cs@usc.edu.
- Complete the Personnel Screening Data Sheet (Form A-1) for all Authorized Users.
- EH&S does not need to retain copies of these forms. Simply confirm that this has been completed for all Authorized Users.
- Complete the Controlled Substance Initial and Annual Physical Inventory form and forward a copy to ehs-cs@usc.edu.
- Ensure all Authorized Users are enrolled in the EH&S Controlled Substances Training (CST) on Trojan Learn.
- All Authorized Users must complete this training prior to CS purchasing, use, and handling.
- After approval of all CSUA Forms and completion of the training, the DEA registrant and all Authorized Users will be permitted to acquire, store, handle, and use controlled substances.
CSUA Renewal
CSUA paperwork must be amended whenever changes in storage locations, security measures, protocols, controlled substance schedules and/or drugs, DEA registration expiration, and authorized personnel occur. Forward copies of your renewed CSUA paperwork to ehs-cs@usc.edu.
CSUA Termination
The CS Program Manager must be contacted at ehs-cs@usc.edu to request termination of CSUA.
