Other Enrollment Options
Pass / No Pass
Students may elect to take classes using the Pass/No Pass option by completing
a Pass/No Pass form by the end of the third week of classes. The Pass/No Pass
form can be obtained in the Viterbi Admission and Student Affairs Office (RTH
110) or at the Registration Building (REG). Courses taken on a Pass/No Pass basis
are not calculated into a student's GPA.
Please note: All engineering majors MUST take all Writing, Math, Science, and
Engineering requirements for a letter grade. Only 4 units of general education
course work may be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.
Auditing Courses
Students may choose to audit a course of interest if it is not required for their
degree. Courses taken for audit will not receive credit and will not appear on
the USC transcript. Students who audit a course generally participate in class
activities but may not complete homework assignments, projects or exams. An agreement
should be reached with the instructor ahead of time as to what level of participation
is expected.
Audited courses are assessed at the regular tuition rate and will be indicated
with a mark of "V" on the registration confirmation. Students can elect the Audit
option during the first three weeks of the semester, but changing to Audit is
not available through Web Registration. The form is available in RTH 110 or at
the Registration Building (REG).
