Student Advisement<\/h1>\n
\n

It is mandatory for Human Biology majors to meet\u00a0with their Student Services Advisor each semester, see below to find out which advisor to contact. Students must receive advisement before they can register for classes. In addition to mandatory advisement, the academic advisor will give D-clearances for upper division coursework and prerequisite waivers, if approved.<\/p>\n

Fill out the D-clearance form located\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Entering freshmen or transfer students intending to pursue a degree in Human Biology should meet with a Student Services Advisor during the Summer Orientation Program prior to their first semester at USC. Early advisement is critical when planning a pre-health course of study. To schedule an appointment, please create a referral in AdviseUSC and mark yourself as ready for advising. An advisor will be assigned to you within 3 business days and then you will be able to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pre-Health Academic Support<\/span><\/h3>\n

Since a large percentage of\u00a0Human Biology majors have a pre-health focus (i.e. medical, physical therapy, dental, pharmacy, etc.), we encourage our students to consult the\u00a0Pre-Health Academic Advising Program<\/a>\u00a0for additional services in the academic process. Regularly scheduled workshops are held throughout the academic year with guest speakers on a variety of different topics including academic curricula, extracurricular preparation, volunteer experiences, research involvement, and the application process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-175","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nStudent Advisement -
