Greetings!

Congratulations on your admission to graduate study at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering. The information below is intended to assist you with the transition to graduate school at USC. Please send email at eesystem@usc.edu or call at (213) 740-4447 if you have questions.

First, however, go to http://viterbi.usc.edu/admission/graduate/intent_to_enroll_form.htm and fill in the Intent to Enroll form and submit it. It is important for you to reserve your space in the entering class.

MAPS & DIRECTIONS

To be sure you arrive here safely and can find the important locations on the University campus. Go to this link for direction to USC and maps of the campus http://www.usc.edu/info/maps/

International Student Test of English (ISE test)
****Required of all new international students unless formally waived. ***

For important information, go to http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/ALI/introali.html and http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/ALI/ISE.html

International students who have to take the International Student Test of English must do so before registering for classes. They can receive departmental advisement before taking the test.

Advisement

Enrollment in some EE classes is by departmental permission only, designated by a "D" after the class number in the university class schedule. Classes designated with an "R" require no departmental permission and students may register for those directly. EEB 100 will give D permission after placement exam results and advisement (if required). New students will follow the degree requirements listed in the 2004-2005 USC University Catalogue which is distributed at the Orientation sessions.
