USC Transfer Credit Requirements

The USC Undergraduate Admissions website states “Transfer students must complete a minimum of 64 units in residence at USC, or half the units typically required for graduation”.

Does that mean I should not complete all of my general education classes at my community college? Because after I complete all of them I will only have 44 units left at USC to complete my degree/graduate😳

What usc apps should I download?

Hey, future trojan here ✌️I’m a transfer coming from another big university, and my university has many apps for clubs, jobs, etc. I would figure that usc would have the same type of app/websites that students frequently use. So my question is what apps should I get? What is pointless and I don’t really need?

I’m mainly looking for apps where you can find on campus jobs, dining hall things, and ofc clubs.

Thanks in advance!

edit: i’m also curious as to what school related instagrams yall suggest to follow to stay up to date on events and such

JS211: Holocaust Testimony Paper

Does anyone know if we are supposed to cite the testimonies? It doesn’t say in the “rubric”. And if we are, are you sound like MLA or just citing quotes?

Experience with PHED classes?

On a whim I decided to sign up for the pickleball class and I’m curious if anyone else here has taken it and what their experience was like?

Also, in general, how beginner friendly are the PE classes? I’m not super experienced (just looking to learn) and it would be awkward to be in a class where everyone else does it for fun outside of school.

Trojan Network for CS

I've submitted applications for both UCLA and USC. UCLA was always the school I wanted to go to (for no apparent reason honestly other than being in LA and having friends there), but since USC is also in LA, I've been having second thoughts, especially after reading about how the Trojan Network has helped students to find internships. However, I've seen a lot of cases of the Trojan Network helping people wanting to get into business, but haven't seen many cases for CS. Is the Trojan Network valuable/useful for CS students as well?

Need Help Finding Syllabus for GSBA 506a and b

Hey everyone! I’m a grad student currently enrolled in ISE 500, and I’m looking to compare its syllabus with GSBA 506a and b. I managed to get the syllabus for ISE 500, but I’ve had no luck finding the syllabus for GSBA 506a and b.

If any of the internet historians here could help me locate it or share a link, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

What reason do I need to be able to take classes as DEN?

I'm an on-campus domestic student trying to submit a DEN petition because I will be living with my parents in Michigan next semester. There's a question "Why do you need to take this course via DEN@Viterbi?" and I'm afraid that my reason (that I can't afford rent in LA) will get rejected.

Should I also say that I plan to work in Michigan? How strict are they about the answer for this question?

SOCI 200 vs 242 (Pre-Med)

So I’m a freshman in pre-med, and wanted to take SOCI 200 next semester as it was part of the pre-med track and I wanted to finish those requisites before Semester 6. However, I notice that SOCI 242 is more geared towards pre-med students. However, it doesn’t work that great with my schedule and I have to move and change some of my courses to fit it in. I was wondering if SOCI 200 was still a viable option for MCAT preparation or if I should just commit to changing my schedule for SOCI 242?

BUAD308 vs BUAD306: Which is better to take?

I'm considering choosing between 308 (Advanced business finance) or 306 (business finance). I'm not necessarily applying for finance positions, but am looking to enter consulting roles; however I'd like to have the knowledge of advanced concepts.

How difficult is 308 compared to 306 and is there any special knowledge you should know before 308?

Has anyone taken Dsci 351? Or a class with Wensheng Wu?

I’m in the process of picking my classes for next semester and I have to take Dsci 351. The reviews are pretty horrible for the class and professor. They make it seem like an A is almost impossible. I was hoping someone on here could tell me what the class was like based on their experience. I’d really appreciate any advice to be successful in the course.

Thank you!

How is Econ 318 with Cheng Hsiao?

Got a late registration time and I kinda have to take econometrics next semester or my plans are gonna need a change. I’m rly hoping for a Kaufmann spot to open up, but I don’t want to put my stake on that (even though we’re 3 months off).

I don’t want to take Rashidian due to his bad reputation and attendance policy with the class being at 8 AM. Him and Hsiao are the only ones open, but I can’t find much info abt him online.

Anyone who took him, would you mind sharing your experiences with his class and how he distributed grades along with difficulty of assignments/tests?

PHED Classes With Equipment

I was wondering if the PHED classes that would require equipment (ie. Surfing, Tennis, Table Tennis, Pickleball) would require students to have their own equipment? Or do they provide some to lend out for the semester?

USC Village parking with a permit

Is it free for permit holders or are you still supposed to be charged? The first time I parked there, I was over the 2 hour limit, but it asked me for my license plate on the way out and I didn't have to pay. Last time I used it, it didn't ask me for my license plate, just for payment and charged me full price.

My registration date is 11/12, can I register for classes released on 11/13?

Title. I'm just confused how webreg works. I know that more spots will be released for each registration date, but can i register for spots released tomorrow or are those spots reserved for people with a 11/13 registration date?

Also, how many spots are released for each registration date? When I went on WebReg at 9:01 everything was full already, but when I look at some of the gesms that are not filled up it says 0/2 or 1/2 –– yesterday they also had only two spots in total and I doubt if they even released new spots for classes today.
