Your FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE Whether you are coming from high school or a transfer institution, your first year at USC will be one of exploration and foundational building towards your overall success. The clubs, organizations and events on campus, both within and outside of Viterbi, are designed to facilitate that exploration. We encourage you to build community at USC and step outside your comfort zone by engaging in new personal and academic involvements. Everyone’s experience will look different and will be unique for each student, so do not feel like you are not doing enough your first year.
Remember, your first year is just the start of your academic journey!
ORIENTATION & WELCOME WEEK
The USC Welcome Experience begins with orientation and continues through your first semester. Academic advisors will help you enroll in courses during orientation while peer orientation advisors will be available to offer guidance as you transition to college. You will also have the chance to attend welcome week events across campus where you will get to meet your fellow peers. Mark your calendars for Viterbi’s New Student Welcome in August 2023!
