Web Registration
Students can register for courses directly online through USC's Web Registration system. Your login information will be the same for OASIS. Students with any restrictions or course holds should view the next section.

D-Clearance
Any 5-digit course section ending with a "D" requires Departmental Clearance (D-Clearance) before you can register for the course. Students must contact their department advisor to obtain D-Clearances. Some departments may have online D-clearance forms as well.

Distance Education Network (DEN) - D-Clearance
DEN Students can login to the Master's Portal and click on DEN Tools to access the D-Clearance Request Form. For more information about gaining access to online resources through DEN, please visit the Getting Started section of the web site and make sure you have created a student profile for access.

Pre-requisites & Waivers
Waiver of pre-requisites vary by academic department. Some departments require students to take the placement exam to waive pre-requisite requirements if the pre-requisite course was not completed at USC. Please contact MAPP to initiate any pre-requisite waiver requests.

Placement Exams
Certain Computer Science and Electrical Engineering courses require successful completion of placement exams before students are allowed to register for a course. Please refer to the CS and EE web sites for placement exam information and to sign up online.

Distance Education Network (DEN) - Exams

Web Registration

You can also register in person at the Registrar's Office (REG 101), located on-campus by the intersection of Figueroa Street and Exposition Boulevard.  We strongly recommend that you check your course list the day after you add or drop courses to ensure that all changes have been properly made.
