To make your mandatory advising appointment as productive as possible, please be sure to do the following in advance:
  1. Review your STARS report, which is available online through OASIS. This report tells you how far along you are in your program, as well as which specific requirements you have yet to complete. If there are any errors in the information, please notify me as soon as possible. OASIS also lists your Permit to Register, which gives the specific day & time you can sign up for classes.
  2. Review your flowchart, which gives you a suggested sequence of courses. Copies of the flowcharts are available online (http://viterbi.usc.edu/students/undergrad/bulletin/). Although you are not required to take courses in this order, it will ensure that your pre-requisites line up.
  3. Decide which classes you would like to take next semester. Check the online schedule of classes (www.usc.edu/soc) to make sure the times of the courses you are interested in do not overlap.
 
 

Should I bring anything to my appointment?

 
Yes! You will need to bring the following 2 items with you to your advising appointment:
  1. A filled in Course Plan with your planned courses through graduation
  2. A completed D-Clearance form for any BME classes you wish to take in the Fall.
  3. You do not need a copy of your STARS report - but you should have looked over it online before the appointment.


If you cannot print the forms, please stop by DRB 140 to pick up blank copies.

Because I will meet with so many students in the next few weeks, you MUST come prepared to your appointment in order to stay on track!
