Appointments are available Tuesday through Thursday. Please stop by the office or call (213) 740-8335 to schedule an appointment. Should you need help planning, filling out forms, registering for courses, or with other academic needs, please make an appointment. This ensures that Jennifer is prepared to meet with you. Her appointment book is located at the front office desk, KAP 300.

Walk-ins are for brief questions or immediate problems. Most Fridays from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. Shannon is available for walk-ins. If you come to walk-ins you MUST bring a print out of your STARS report with you. The STARS report tells you the status of your academic progress. Please remember that there are approximately 700 ECON students who need assistance, and plan accordingly. If you need in-depth advising and want to plan out your remaining semesters at USC, you need to schedule a regular appointment. 

Economics E-mail List

Please register for the listserve by sending an email to listproc@usc.edu. The command to subscribe is SUB ECONUG-L <first name> <last name>

For example: SUB ECONUG-L Tommy Trojan

You will receive a confirmation e-mail from the server. 

Jennifer sends out important registration reminders, special events, and other things Econ students should know about. Please read your e-mails in their entirety; you will find that they answer most of your questions.

D-CLEARANCE

ONLY 303 and 305 will require D-clearance in the beginning of the registration period. All other courses will remain R courses throughout the registration period unless there are registration problems or the professor requests that only students meeting certain requirements be admitted to their course. 

To get D-clearance for a course, please come by KAP 300 to fill out a Departmental Course Clearance form.  They are half sheets (usually in a bright color) in the wall rack next to the bookcase.  You need to submit D-clearance forms 24 hours prior to registration.

PREREQUISITES

If you have taken a lower-division prerequisite course elsewhere (community college, AP exam, etc.), you will still need to obtain a prerequisite override in order to enroll. The D-clearance and the prerequisite override form
is available in KAP 300 in the rack next to the book case outside of Jennifer’s office. You need to submit these requests 24 hours prior to your registration time. (Remember: Econ staff does not work on Saturday and Sunday; plan accordingly.)
