Advisement and Registration

Online registration for undergraduates for the Fall 2018 semester will begin Wednesday, March 30, 2018. To check for your registration date and time, log on to OASIS via MyUSC and then click on “Permit to Register.” Registration times are assigned by the number of units completed. Students can and should be advised prior to their registration appointment times. Students should also check for any holds on their account that will prevent them from registering at their registration appointment time.

If you are in Thematic Option, follow the advising information in this posting. Clearance for registration in CORE classes will be handled by the TO office.

Faculty advising for Fall 2018 in the English department will run from Monday, March 19, 2018 through Friday, March 23, 2018. There will be several faculty advisers available every day, and you may also consult with any English faculty member.

Please note that we will have just one week of intensive advisement with many faculty on hand, and we strongly advise that you start early in the week when it is easiest to find an adviser. A list of faculty who are advising will be posted outside the department office THH 404. You do not need an appointment to see a faculty adviser.

1. From the “Documents” widget you can find a copy of the advising record you will need when you meet with a faculty adviser.

2. Descriptions of English courses are available on our website. Click on our undergraduate tab for “Courses.” Read the descriptions carefully to see what is really happening in English (the official titles often do not tell you much).

3. Within the English major you can emphasize either English Literature or Creative Writing; click on our undergraduate tab for “English Major.”

4. Requirements for the English minor will be found under “Minors.”

5. Requirements and courses for the Interdisciplinary Minor in Early Modern Studies will be found under “Minors.”

6. Requirements and courses for the Interdisciplinary Minor in Narrative Structure will be found under “Minors.”

7. After you have chosen your courses and times, come speak with us. You absolutely must bring your university STARS report with you.

8. Your adviser will complete the Advising Record with you, which you must then bring immediately to the Department of English office, Taper Hall 404.

9. Be sure to indicate which sections for which you would like d-clearance on your advising record. You will not be assigned d-clearance without a specific section number and your USC ID on the advising record.
