Admitted Student Events

Throughout the spring, USC offers a variety of opportunities to help admitted students connect with the Trojan Family. Although all events cover much of the same information about financial aid, housing and student life—meaning you should not worry about attending all of them—we encourage you to look at each of their features and choose the program that works best for you.

Register for an Event

Explore USC on campus to see firsthand what it’s like to be a student here. You will be able to interact with faculty, meet and talk with current students, and learn more about your program from department representatives.

Weekend Open House Event (Saturday, April 25)

This full-day open house is ideal for families wishing to visit campus on a weekend. Please note that this is the only event that includes a tour of select USC housing options, including residence halls, suite-style rooms and apartment-style housing. If you’re unable to attend this Explore event, however, housing tours are offered during summer Welcome Trojans orientation events. Housing tours are subject to availability.

Weekday Events (April 6, 10, 14, 16, 20)

Because these events are offered on weekdays during school hours, registration is limited and tours of USC housing are not available. Participants have found, however, that this gives them a more personal, one-on-one experience of daily life at USC. It’s also a great opportunity to dine in a residence hall and take tours of campus and the surrounding neighborhood to get a feel for what your days will be like once you arrive at USC.

Other Days

Coming to campus on a different day? Sign up for a standalone admitted student tour or a self-guided tour, starting in April!

Various dates in April

These events are held across the U.S. and around the world to give students the chance to meet fellow new admits from their region, as well as academic department representatives, without having to travel to campus. They’re also an opportunity to learn more about housing, financial aid and campus life.

These events provide several different options for engaging with the Trojan community virtually, and for learning more about the USC experience. Opportunities include connecting with current students, taking virtual campus tours and attending general and academic department information sessions. If you’d like to connect with a student ambassador, you can email them directly at visitusc@usc.edu. They’re available Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific time. 

We understand that later this summer, you may need assistance with finalizing your plans for the fall before enrolling at USC. Below are just a few of the virtual events that can help you plan and answer any questions you may have.

In mid-May, you will be able to sign up for these events through your applicant portal. Reservations will be available to all spring admitted students who submitted an “Intent to Enroll” form and/or Enrollment Commitment deposit.
