Advisement

USC Annenberg advisers are available to meet with students in person and via Zoom to discuss their schedules and future plans.

You may leave a message at (213) 740-0900 or at our general email at ascjadv@usc.edu.

Spring 2026 Pre-Registration Advisement

Freshmen, sophomores, recently admitted Annenberg majors, as well as those on academic probation, are required to meet with an advisor once per semester for pre-registration advisement. Meetings are scheduled based on class standing, which reflects the number of units completed. Please review the Advisement Flier for details.

Non-Major Advisement

Non-majors are encouraged to attend an information session to learn about Annenberg’s majors and minors. Non-major students may RSVP for these information sessions on the following website. After the mandatory advisement period ends, advisors will be able to meet with non-majors for an appointment after November 7. To schedule an appointment to meet with an Annenberg adviser, please create a referral in Advise USC for your program of interest and mark yourself as “Ready for Advising.” You will then be assigned a referral advisor with whom you can meet during non-major advising. If you have questions, please send an email to ascjadv@usc.edu.

Spring 2026 JOUR/PR D-Clearance Process

D-clearances will be issued based on program, class standing, and graduation date first, and then on a first-come, first-served basis. Submitting the online D-clearance form does not issue D-clearance, nor does it guarantee that you will receive D-clearances for your first choice. Please plan for alternative courses while you wait for D-clearance approval. Please review the D-clearance flyer for details.

Click here for the D-Clearance form.

The Fall 2025 D-clearance form closed on August 21, 2025. Following August 25, you must make D-clearance requests directly to the professor of the course. If you are approved to add the class, please send their written confirmation to ascjadv@usc.edu so that we can forward it to the appropriate department for approval and clearance. PLEASE NOTE: this process is only required during the Add/Drop period. 

Registration

If you receive clearance, you are responsible for registering for the course on Web Registration. Annenberg Advisement cannot add or drop courses for you.
