1. Complete the Application for Graduation |
Most students must complete an Master's Application for Graduation and submit it to their academic departmental advisor. Students in the AME, BME, CS, and EE department should submit their application to graduate online at http://myviterbi.usc.edu. The application informs department advisors that a student plans to complete his or her degree requirements in a specified term, and prompts advisors to complete a degree check. The application or degree check is not automatically generated. |
2. When to Apply for Graduation |
Submit the Application for Graduation AFTER you register for your final semester but BEFORE the deadline to register and add or drop a course. The deadline is defined as the last day to add or drop a course without a mark of 'W' on the transcript. To view the registration calendar, check the Schedule of Classes under the appropriate term.Ideally, students should submit the application at least a month before the final semester begins. For example, students who will graduate in May should submit the application in December of the previous year, after they have registered for their final coursework. We highly encourage early submission in the event that you are missing degree requirements and need to take action to ensure timely graduation. |
