<p>So I'll be enrolling in USC in about a few more weeks but I'm just worried that I'm missing some information.
What I know right now is that:
Newly admitted students register at the orientation.
Only after registering we can talk with our academic advisors and add courses.
The bill for the tuition fees comes after we've enrolled in the courses. </p>
<p>Could someone tell me that what I know is right or wrong? and if wrong, could you tell me what's right.
I'm just mighty worried that I'm missing some crucial piece of information.</p>
<p>What you have written is almost completely right.</p>
<p>Newly admitted students sign up to attend an orientation (to sign up for orientation, one can go to USC’s orientation website).
Then, on the second day of orientation, you can talk to your academic advisers and add courses.
Finally, the bill for the tuition fees is added after you’ve enrolled in the courses.</p>
<p>Don’t worry! You’ll be fine. I’m assuming that you’re an international student considering that you haven’t signed up for classes, yet. If you need to take any math classes or GE class, let me know as I am an alumnus and I can give you advice on which professors and classes are good to choose.</p>
<p>Zillek, if you are majoring in BISC, start doing research early so you can apply for research grants or if you’re lucky, the professor may have enough to pay you.</p>
<p>Are you doing the International Transfer Student Orientation?</p>
<p>… nhsharvard has it right. The only addendum I’d like to add is that you’ll be grouped with a handful of students to one advisor and their first priority is just to get you registered with classes. They don’t seem too focused on NAILING it during orientation, you might have to wait until after orientation to really nail down your schedule and have a more personal conversation with your advisor.</p>
<p>Also, there is a course evaluator on your MyUSC login which is a bit more helpful at evaluating possible professors and courses than RateMyProfessor (it’ll give you information like standard deviation from mean scores, so you can figure out how consistent the experience was for the classroom). The downside is that I could not find any data from the past two years.</p>
<p>I’ll be a freshman this year. I’ll definitely be looking for a lab to research in.
I’ve been to myUSC and I haven’t seen a prof or course evaluator yet. I’ll check again but it’d be helpful if you could give me the link or steps to get there.</p>
<p>Also talk to your RA, friends of friends, upperclassmen, etc. as they can provide a wealth of insight not found online. They may also have their course materials left over from previous semesters or old notes/exams they can give you.</p>
