<p>I'll be out of town when USC mails its admission decisions. When the time comes, will there be a way for me to check my decision online? Will I receive an email notification?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>USC only releases the decisions by mail, which can be super annoying if you are away. Last year my brother was out of town for a week while his admissions letter was sitting at home and it drove him totally crazy.</p>
<p>There will be no email notification… but maybe you can check on USC Connect to see if there is any change in information?</p>
<p>ablove,</p>
<p>You can contact admissions and request an e-mail notification. They do that for international students.</p>

<p>Where does it say that? Just wondering so I could do the same.</p>
<p>LegacyMom, is this a new policy? In the past there was no email notification, but International students would receive an email from DHL that a package was about to be delivered. That was the hint that an admissions packet was on its way.</p>
<p>Hi madbean and USC 2016,</p>
<p>When my son never got the initial letter sent out in January (the one letting kids know they are not Trustee candidates, but still being considered for admission), I contacted admissions. The woman at the office offered to have his admission decision e-mailed to my son, since there was an issue with the mail. She said that is what they do for international students, since there is such a lag in the mail. (But you do have to request it.) I declined her offer, because if it is bad news, I don’t want it coming in an email. I imagine if you’re going to be out of town when the decisions are coming out, they will email you if you request it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the insight, I didn’t know that.</p>
