<p>I am a spring admit that needs a bit of help. What GE classes are recommended for us to take during fall and how many classes does the average spring admit take their fall semester? Thank you!</p>
<p>USC has articulation agreements with community colleges in the local area and you can look at which classes transfer in credit at the following site: <a href=“https://camel2.usc.edu/articagrmt/artic.aspx[/url]”>Error; </p>
<p>If you will be attending a 4 year school during the fall, I suggest you call your advisor and ask them for help. In general, I would suggest taking at least 4 classes during your fall semester.</p>
<p>@trojan13 - Just a bit of advice - be careful if you decide to go to community college in the fall. Last year we were in the same position, and we called USC to find out the best classes to take. The admissions officer “reminded” my son that if you get bad grades in your CC courses, your offer to USC could be rescinded. She recommended he only take 1 or 2 classes that he felt confident he could get A’s in. She said she had seen rescissions for getting a C in just one class at a CC. So if you have a teacher that’s tough at CC, or doesn’t like you, it can screw things up. But if you take 1 or 2 classes, and you get a bad grade, you can always opt to not transfer the credits to USC or even tell them that you went there. Also, remember that you can always go to CC next summer, once you are already a full fledged Trojan. Maybe for now, take some time off and enjoy yourself, see the world, or work to make some money. USC won’t ask what you did in the Fall. Good luck.</p>

Whether the credits transfer or not, transcripts for all college work attempted (even if all classes were failed) must be submitted to USC - or to any college or university you attend in the future. By applying to any university, you grant permission for them to look you up on the [National</a> Student Clearinghouse](<a href=“http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/]National”>http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/) , where they can see ALL colleges and universities attended. Grade information does not appear on the clearinghouse, but when USC sees that a student attended a college they will request that the transcripts be submitted. Students do not have the option to conceal college work attempted.</p>
<p>I agree with the point @USCDad2016 made about maybe taking some time off and would add - the average spring admit does not necessarily take classes at a community college and that can be a good thing.
My son was a USC spring admit for the spring of 2010 and graduated just last Friday, totally on time and alongside everyone who began in fall 2009. He spent the summer and fall after high school working and doing some low-budget travel and after the intensity of his high school, I felt that experience was absolutely beneficial.
He did have a number of AP credits that were accepted - not sure about current USC policy on those.</p>
