Advisement during Fall 2021

We will be using Zoom to host virtual advisement sessions. Appointments must be scheduled through MyUSC or contacting your assigned advisor. You will be emailed an invite to your virtual advisement session.

During this time, email will likely be the most efficient form of communication for academic advisement, but please be patient as there may be some delay in our response.

Freshmen: Your advisor is Monica Prado Garcia, monicapr@usc.edu.

Pre-Engineering: Contact a pre-engineering advisor at viterbi.studentservices@usc.edu.

Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors: Your advisor is Geraldine Perry, glorenzo@usc.edu.
