Advisement for Summer and Fall 2025

Undergraduate Students

All USC Roski majors are required to meet with their assigned Roski Advisor before registering for the next semester of classes. If you are not registering for Fall 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 schedule a mandatory advisement appointment. 

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. 

  • Senior/U4 students (>= 96), NCAA student-athletes, and others with priority registration can schedule appointments to meet with an advisor from March 3rd  through March 7th 
    • ​​NCAA student-athletes and others with priority registration 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 March 10th through March 14th
  • Open Week for All – Spring Break 
  • Sophomore/U2 students (32—63.5 units) can schedule appointments to meet with an advisor from March 24th through March 28th                      
  • Freshman/U1 students (0—31.5 units) can schedule appointments to meet with an advisor from March 31st through April 4th      
  • (NO APPOINTMENTS ON APRIL 11TH DUE TO W DEADLINE FOR SPRING 2025)            
  • Students who fail to schedule a meeting with a Roski advisor can schedule a make-up appointment with a Roski advisor from April 7TH – 10TH
  • An advisor will only lift a student’s mandatory advisement hold after the student has attended their advising appointment. 

Each student can view their registration time via myUSC –> OASIS –> Permit to Register. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule and attend an advisement appointment that occurs before they can register for classes. If a student fails to attend a scheduled meeting, they will have to wait to reschedule a meeting. This may occur after their Permit to Register has already opened.  

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 CPPS) should schedule an appointment directly with Nazeli Hosik (see email announcement sent Tuesday, February 25th). Mandatory advisement meetings will be held virtually or in person. Graduate students will not be able to register for classes until they meet with Nazeli Hosik. Graduate students should meet with their advisor no later than the end of the semester.

Preparation for a Productive Meeting

  • Write down your questions in advance.
  • If possible, bring a list of your planned classes for Fall 2025, including course codes, section numbers, and class times.
  • Bring a laptop or tablet

The Fall 2025 Schedule of Classes is available at classes.usc.edu. March 4th is also the day that students will be able to view their Fall 2025 initial registration times on myUSC. Again, to see these times, students should visit myUSC -> OASIS -> Permit to Register.
