Information Guide

The following is a list of handbooks and useful Websites that are available to help you get acquainted with what USC has to offer.

Catalogue

The online course Catalogue is your academic roadmap for USC. Organized by school, the Catalogue lists detailed descriptions and requirements for every major, minor, certificate and program offered at the university as well as course descriptions. It’s the book both current and prospective students refer to for information regarding everything from school admission requirements to interdisciplinary programs. The Catalogue is published by the Academic Records and Registrar Publications office, is updated annually and is available online at usc.edu/catalogue.

USC Student Affairs and Campus Life Website and Facebook Page

The USC Student Affairs and Campus Life Website at studentaffairs.usc.edu features all the news you need to know to make the most of your time at USC. The Website keeps you informed about Trojan life outside the classroom with news articles, videos, an events calendar, profiles, and links to Student Affairs departments and campus partners. Topics range from upcoming events, community service, student government, cultural and leadership opportunities to student-run media, career services, health promotion and the Trojan Marching Band.

Trojans who visit the Student Affairs Facebook page at facebook.com/uscstudentaffairs and click “like” receive additional up-to-the-minute updates about campus life, programs, services and events.

The goal of these online resources is to create an integrated learning experience that helps you reach your educational, personal and professional aspirations.

MyUSC

MyUSC is the university’s portal designed to give students, faculty and staff personalized access to wide-ranging campus resources in a single location on the Web. Through myUSC, you can customize your own home page based on personal preferences and interests. To access myUSC, go to my.usc.edu and log in using your USC email username and password.

SCampus

While the Catalogue details what USC offers academically, SCampus is the online guide that offers information about how to make your college experience more fulfilling and well-rounded. Planning Calendars, Student Services, Student Activities, University Governance and Explore L.A. are just a few of the sections in this online student resource. The departmental telephone directory and maps section are particularly popular with students. SCampus is available online at usc.edu/scampus.
