This &#8220;official&#8221; appointment is when you will select your TO courses for the following semester, but is also a great time to talk about any other questions or concerns you might have.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the year, Thematic Option advising is open and flexible.

However, many departments set earlier deadlines for their own courses. In Thematic Option, it is not possible to add a CORE course after the\u00a0first\u00a0week of classes due to the large amount of reading and writing that will have been missed. Please contact an advisor as soon as possible for more information about adding a specific course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-13-sJH8gr9cpA\" aria-controls=\"section-1-13-sJH8gr9cpA\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">How do Thematic Option course waitlists work?<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-13-sJH8gr9cpA\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-13-sJH8gr9cpA\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>After all the D-clearances for a CORE course have been given out, we will add any additional interested students to a waitlist.

In the interest of preserving the very important student-instructor relationship, the student and instructor should try to resolve the grade dispute by direct communication. If the issue cannot be resolved by this dialogue, the grade dispute should move beyond the instructor to the next level of review. All grade appeals must be brought no later than the end of the semester following the semester for which the student received the disputed grade. The two levels of appeal beyond the instructor are the department chair (the director of Thematic Option) and the USC Dornsife dean.\u00a0If a resolution cannot be reached,\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/policy.usc.edu\/studenthandbook\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Student Handbook<\/a>\u00a0outlines the following steps:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>The department chair (the director of Thematic Option) at their discretion may review the matter personally or conduct a formal review through an ad hoc or standing committee. The review committee is appointed by the department chair and consists of a faculty member from outside the involved department or academic unit, a student, a faculty member of the appealing student\u2019s choice, and two faculty members from the department or academic unit. A written decision will be given to the student after the department chair\u2019s decision or the review committee decision. Normally a decision should be sent to the student within approximately 15 days after the review. This time may be extended if necessary. The student should be informed in writing if the decision will be delayed.<\/li>\n<li>If either the student or faculty member who assigned the grade wishes to appeal the decision of the chair or the review committee, in the next level of appeal beyond the instructor and the department chair, they must appeal in writing to the dean of the academic unit within two weeks after receiving the written decision. The dean of the academic unit may review the matter personally or, if a formal review has not been conducted by the department, the dean may conduct a formal review. The review committee consists of the same categories of members within the academic unit as described above. The committee will make a recommendation to the dean who will make a decision which is final and binding. Normally a written decision should be sent to the student within 15 days after a review. This time may be extended if necessary. The student should be informed in writing if the decision will be delayed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n          <\/ul>\n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":0,"parent":661,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-content-detail.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-183","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FAQ - Current Students - Thematic Option Honors Program<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/faq-current-students\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FAQ - Current Students - Thematic Option Honors Program\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/faq-current-students\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Thematic Option Honors Program\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-09-18T19:12:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/faq-current-students\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/faq-current-students\/\",\"name\":\"FAQ - Current Students - Thematic Option Honors Program\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/live-usc-dornsife.pantheonsite.io\/thematic-option\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-04-28T18:15:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-09-18T19:12:52+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/faq-current-students\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/faq-current-students\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/faq-current-students\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Current Students\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/thematic-option\/current-students\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"FAQ &#8211;
