Fall 2021 Enrollment Options

Fall 2021 Enrollment Options

(Last updated on June 1, 2021)

Based on the current situation, the downward trend in COVID-19 cases and the positive vaccination rate, USC plans to be primarily on-campus for Fall 2021. However, this decision is contingent on the aforementioned trends continuing in a positive manner and pending approval from the state of California and Los Angeles county.  The Viterbi School of Engineering will offer alternate options for students who cannot attend classes in person on the USC campus.
Below are the options available to all of our newly admitted Fall 2021 students.

OPTIONS

NEXT STEPS


OPTION ONE

Attend as an on-campus student.
