<p>Are USC students allowed to take elective classes outside the school they are enrolled in? For example, if I were enrolled at Dornsife, could I take classes at Marshall?</p>
<p>Yes. In fact, there are classes specifically for non-majors in most areas. Go to the [Fall</a> 2013 | Schedule of Classes](<a href=“http://web-app.usc.edu/soc/20133]Fall”>302 Found) and look up classes in your area of interest. Courses numbered with an “X” at the end are designed specifically for non-majors and would be your first choices. Other courses will be labeled “Restricted to majors (and sometimes minors) in the following areas:___'” and those will not be available to you. Still others will be labeled as “D” clearance which will be held for majors first and then opened up to a waiting list of non-majors.</p>
<p>You may also choose a minor in a different school if you wish including Marshall. Investigate here: [Marshall</a> Minor Application Procedures | Undergraduate Students](<a href=“http://students.marshall.usc.edu/undergrad/applying/marshall-minors-and-admissions-procedures/]Marshall”>http://students.marshall.usc.edu/undergrad/applying/marshall-minors-and-admissions-procedures/)</p>

<p>Courses designated x are restricted in some manner, not necessarily designed for non-majors. The course description will specify the restriction.</p>
<p>Okee dokey, In general, and/or in many cases, and/or very often you will find the restriction of courses numbered with an “X” indicates it is designed for non-majors. A few examples from Marshall:</p>
<p>BUAD100X
BUAD200X
BUAD201X
FBE400X
</p>
<p>In addition, the X numbering may indicate that the course is open only to juniors and seniors or that it duplicates the credit of another course and so will not be granted credit if a student takes both courses, but if you are looking for courses designed for non-majors, look for an “X.” </p>
<p>I suggest that students looking for courses in other schools look first to courses numbered with an “X” because that is where they are most likely to find courses available to them specifically designed for non-majors (in other schoosl as well - not just Marshall) because those courses will indeed have an “X” designation.</p>
<p>If there is a more convenient way to find such courses, please post the method.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies!</p>
