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 2025 should consult the information below.

    The GE office will add seats to GE Seminars during the spring new student orientation registration session on December 6.  Seats that are not filled then will become available after 4:00 pm on December 6.

     

    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.

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