Library Resources
The USC Upstate Library includes a late-night computer lab, subject-specific databases of articles, films, and more, and a 24/7 Ask a Librarian chat-based reference support.
Bookstore and Inclusive Access
The USC Upstate Bookstore is the place to look up your required textbooks and purchase or rent books, e-books, computer access codes, and other supplies and gear. USC Upstate also participates in Inclusive Access to deliver ebooks to students at a reduced cost, on or before the first day of class by adding your textbook rental fees directly to your tuition bill. You always have the choice to “opt out” of the service by the deadline posted–within the drop/add period in the first few days of a regular semester or the first day of a shorter term. If you are using Inclusive Access but you don’t see the content in your Blackboard course, reach out to your instructor or the Bookstore right away.
Technical Support
If you have problems with your computer, technology, IT-related questions, or need for technology or network support, please contact the Division of Information Technology Help Desk at 864.503.5257 or email helpdesk@uscupstate.edu. The Help Desk in the lower level of the John D. Stockwell Administration Building is open Monday-Thursday from 8:00 AM-10:00 PM, 8-5 on Fridays, and 5-10 on Sundays. The USC Upstate Library also has a late-night computer lab just inside the main entrance.
Support guides for using Blackboard, your course Learning Management System (LMS), are available in the Spartan Hub using your USC Upstate email username and password.
Privacy and Accessibility
Your privacy and ability to access course resources matter. Please see our collection of Privacy and Accessibility Statements for applications commonly used in USC Upstate courses.
