Advisement for Spring 2025
Undergraduate Students
All USC Roski majors are required to meet with their assigned Roski Advisor before registering for the next semester of classes. The most productive meetings occur when students are prepared and have already reviewed course offerings via the USC Schedule of Classes website.
You will need to schedule an advisement appointment according to your class standing, which is based on the total number of units completed (USC units + transfer units). To see your class standing, go to myUSC –> OASIS –> STARS Report.
- Open Week for All – September 30th through October 4th
- Senior/U4 students (>= 96 units ), NCAA student-athletes, and others with priority registration can schedule appointments to meet with an advisor from October 7th through October 11th
- NCAA student-athletes and others with priority registration, you must email your Roski advisor to schedule an appointment
- NCAA student-athletes and others with priority registration, you must email your Roski advisor to schedule an appointment
- Junior/U3 students (64—95.5 units) can schedule appointments to meet with an advisor from October 14th through October 18th
- Sophomore/U2 students (32—63.5 units) can schedule appointments to meet with an advisor from October 21st through October 25th
- Freshman/U1 students (0—31.5 units) can schedule appointments to meet with an advisor from October 28th through November 1st
Each student can view their registration time via myUSC –> OASIS –> Permit to Register. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule for and attend an advisement appointment that occurs before they are able to register into classes.
If a student fails to show for a scheduled meeting, they will have to wait to reschedule a meeting. This may occur after their Permit to Register has already opened.
- Students that fail to schedule a meeting with a Roski advisor can schedule for a make-up appointment with a Roski advisor from November 4th – November 8th
An advisor will only lift a student’s mandatory advisement hold after the student has attended their advising appointment. If you are not registering for Spring 2025 classes (e.g., you are graduating at the end of the fall semester or you will be taking a leave of absence), you do not have to sit for a mandatory advisement appointment.
Schedule Your Mandatory Advisement Appointment via myUSC -> advise usc-> schedule an appointment (advise usc step-by-step instruction guide)
When scheduling an appointment, select Undergraduate Advise -> Mandatory Advisement and your preferred appointment location. If you are unable to attend an appointment, please cancel or reschedule the appointment within the advise usc student portal with 24 hours advance notice.
Graduate Students
All Roski Graduate students (MFA Art, MFA Design, MA Curatorial Practices and the Public Sphere) are to schedule an advisement appointment directly with their Graduate Academic Advisor, Nazeli Hosik. Mandatory advisement meetings will be available virtually (via Zoom) or in person (At Mateo) beginning October 7. Graduate students will not be able to register for classes until they meet with their advisor. Graduate students should meet with their advisor no later than the end of the semester.
