USC University of Southern California Schedule of Classes

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

Catalogue

At 956 pages, the 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 University Publications office and is updated annually. A copy is distributed to all entering students at their Orientation sessions. Catalogues are available for purchase at the USC Bookstore for $17. The Catalogue is also available online at www.usc.edu/catalogue.

Student Affairs Website

The Student Affairs Website is your online guide to the many programs and services provided by the Division of Student Affairs. Information on the site includes student activities, academic support, career services, health services, residential education, international services, student publications and numerous other departments and programs. The site also includes the “What’s Happening” link to student programs and events. To find out more, visit www.usc.edu/student-affairs.

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, click the link on the USC home page or 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 book 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 student guidebook. The departmental telephone directory and maps section are particularly popular with students. The oldest publication for students at USC, SCampus is distributed during Orientation, over-the-counter in the Undergraduate Student Government Office in Ronald Tutor Campus Center 224, and is available online at www.usc.edu/scampus.
