Registration Information

The GE office added the remaining seats GE course on December 13.  Students seeking to enroll in an GE course other than a GESM should contact the department offering the course regarding their registration policy.

Between now and Monday, January 20^th, GE Seminars do not require department authorization (d-clearance).  Students are able to register for a GESM section using Web Registration, as long as there is a seat available. *

During the second and third weeks of the semester (January 21^st to the 31^st), all GESM sections will require d-clearance.  Students seeking to register for a GESM will need to submit their request using a form that will be posted on this page starting on Tuesday, January 21^st.   Upon receipt of a d-clearance request, the GE office will verify the student’s eligibility to take the course and obtain the professor’s permission for the student to add the course.  Students granted permission to register for a GESM will need to register for the course using Web Registration.  Requests to register in a closed section will be denied.  The GE office plans to respond to all inquiries within two business days.  Students should not drop their current GESM until they receive confirmation to register from the GE office.

Students who register for a new GESM during the first three weeks of the semester are responsible for submitting any missed assignments, catching up with the readings, and submitting future assignments on time.

*  Students who receive a class standing error message while attempting to register for a GESM should email the GE office at gened@usc.edu with their name, USC ID and the five-digit section for the course they’re trying to add. 

Freshmen may not take WRIT 150 and a GESM simultaneously during fall semester.  In the spring semester, freshmen may take both if needed.
