Click here for step-by-step instructions on How to Request D-Clearance

Step 3

Register via web registration

Register for the course using web registration.

Step 4

Settle Tuition and Fees

All fee's must be paid through USC's payment system. Confirm that health insurance and tuition refund insurance has been waived before making your payment.

DEN@Viterbi courses require departmental clearance (d-clearance) to enroll. DEN@Viterbi students can request d-clearance on MyViterbi through the D-Clearance Request Manager. Requests are processed in 1-2 business days after the day you submit your request.

Prior to submitting your request:

Confirm your web registration appointment.
Resolve any pending holds on your account.
Review course for pre-requisites and placement exams.

D-clearances are valid for 7 business days. After 7 business days, your request will expire and registration will no longer be possible unless a course request is resubmitted to reinstate d-clearance. Course availability is not guaranteed so we encourage you to register while you have an active d-clearance.

Remember:

Submitting a request to reinstate d-clearance does not guarantee a d-clearance. If additional d-clearances are available, d-clearance will be re-issued.
There is not a approximate timeline for d-clearance reinstatement. You will receive an update if space becomes available.

DEN@Viterbi State Authorizations

USC must be authorized to deliver online programs to students residing in certain states that requires state authorization. Prior to enrolling in classes, DEN@Viterbi (online) students in the United States need to confirm that their academic program is authorized by their state for online delivery. Your program may not be authorized in all states and therefore if you move, you may not be able to continue in the program. Should you plan to move, please contact vaseden@usc.edu well in advance to determine your options for continuing this program. A list of states where your program is currently authorized is available at the State Authorizations page.

Questions: If you have any questions about a specific state or academic program, please email denstateauth@usc.edu.
