First-year students with more than 32 units completed (this includes units from AP/IB exams and transfer coursework but excludes current Fall 2024 units in progress) may register for a GE Seminar starting on Tuesday, November 12th without needing any kind of special assistance from the GE office. All other freshmen will be able to register for a GESM starting on their registration appointment date.
Second-year students and upperclassmen who have not completed the General Education Seminar requirement must plan to register for one in Spring 2025. These students will need to request a d-clearance from the GE office which will override the class-standing restriction and allow them to register. D-clearance requests must be made to gened@usc.edu and need to include the student’s full name, USC ID number and the five-digit section number of their top three GESM choices. Since GE Seminars are specifically for freshmen, the GE office will process these requests on November 21st.

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