I don't have an ID, how to prepare evaluation forms? (rushing for dec 1 deadline)

I don't know how to get my teacher/counselor form ready to give to my teacher/counselor.

I submitted Part I several weeks ago but I never got a USC ID number. Also, a week ago, I randomly got an email saying that my paper application was in the mail. It hasn't arrived yet...

Since I have no paper application, nor a USC ID number (for writing on teacher/counselor forms), how do I get the evaluation forms ready so that I can give it to them with an envelope and everything? USC doesn't seem to have an online mechanism for doing these teacher/counselor forms (unlike Common App and Columbia App)... and I want to apply by the December 1st deadline for scholarships.

I realize we need to give our teachers/counselors enough time. Since my deadline is December 1st, I need to figure out how to do this soon. I want to give my teacher/counselor the form sometime this week. I don't know if my ID and/or paper application will arrive in the mail soon enough...

PS: I noticed that by finishing my online application, USC will prepare the teacher/counselor forms for me online, ready to print. However, I don't want to rush on finishing this application, just to have the forms for teacher/counselor...

What should I do? Thanks

I think just your application has to be in by Dec 1, not your evaluation forms.
Regarding your USC ID, I would call USC admission.

You can find the forms here:
Freshmen - USC Undergraduate Admission

should I just print out the forms and give 1 to my counselor and 1 to my teacher without putting the sticker or the ID code?

or should I wait until USC gives it (one or the other) to me? I could email them and wait, or print the forms and just give it to my teacher/counselor. what do you guys think I should do?

Others here have stated that admissions told them you can write your Social Security Number or birthdate and it will get correctly filed.

But I would call USC Monday morning to get the ID, write it in on the forms then give it to the counselor and teacher.

ok i'll call them on monday. my teacher+counselor will have enough time, even if I give it to them later this coming week, like friday.

thanks both of you
