The GE office adds seats to specific GE courses, including GE Seminars, throughout the continuing student registration cycle, as well as during Welcome Trojans orientation sessions.  Our office also manages enrollments in GESM sections during the first three weeks of the semester.   Students planning to register for a GE course in Spring 2026 should consult the information below.

  •  

    The GE office added seats to selected GE courses during the continuing student registration period, as well as new student orientation sessions.  The GE office will no longer add seats to GE departmental courses.  Students interested in enrolling in a GE course that is not a GESM should contact the department offering the course.  Contact information is available under the department’s course listing in the Schedule of Classes as well as on the department’s website.  In some cases, registration information may be posted on the department’s website.

  •  

    During the third week of the semester, all GESM sections require d-clearance.  Permission to register will be granted with the professor’s authorization and only in compelling cases.  Students given the opportunity to register for a new GESM are responsible for submitting any missed assignments including quizzes and papers, catching up with the readings, and submitting future assignments on time.  Students seeking further assistance should contact us at gened@usc.edu.

  • Freshmen may not take WRIT 150 and a GESM simultaneously during fall semester.  In the spring semester, freshmen may take both if needed.  Sophomores who have not completed WRIT 150 and GESM may take both courses concurrently in any semester.  Students seeking to register for a WRIT 150 section during the first three weeks of the semester should consult the Writing Program’s registration policy.  Questions regarding WRIT 150 may be addressed to the Writing Program at writprog@usc.edu.
