sorry is this has been asked before but is it possible for spring admits to sign up for housing right now.
No, you will get info on when portal opens for that sometime in fall. You can call housing and ask when that is if youād like. They are super nice there.

Iām fairly certain that Iām not the only person having an issue trying to navigate throughout myUSC & Blackboard trying to figure out what exactly are the next steps into successfully registering for USC.
Does anyone happen to have an idea as to what the next steps for us who have committed to USC are?
I understand that enrolling for Orientation is one of them, as well as applying for housing (highly likely we donāt get any options), and setting up our USC Gmailā¦but what then?
On Blackboard I see a bunch of modules filled with information on schools for like Marshall, SCA, Dornslife, etcā¦But do those apply to me as an Annenberg Major? Same thing with the placement exams, do I need to take them or should I wait for my transfer audit?
If anyone can help me navigate through this all, Iāll PayPal you $5. Get yourself a Wendyās 4 for $4.

Actually you donāt have anything to do but register for orientation and wait for your TCR to update. Blackboard is for class stuff, just ignore that for now. After the all the angst of getting accepted it feels weird to just accept then only have orientation and housing to fill out, but thatās really it.
You should be going through the class schedule for fall and get idea of what you need to takeā¦some classes that are full will have spots at orientation, so make a plan A and plan B classes - sorta work out your 2-3 year plan (whichever). The more you are familiar with classes and when they are offered, the better come registration time. You can look at past schedules as well, as some classes are only offered fall versus spring.
I remember one of my freshman admits had her 4 year plan figured out within 2 days of acceptanceā¦however since she changed her majors 5 times in the first year or two, it required a lot of updates!
And get yourself a Wendyās Biggie Bag for the 5 bucks.

Oh ya, one more thing, buy a USC sweatshirt!
Already did 
Itās stuck in LA rn cuz Fedex is dog____
If you can get into Blackboard there should be ā2021_op_101_op00004: Orientation Programs - Welcome Trojans Summer 2021ā under courses. Click into it. On the left should be list of clickable items. You need to complete your pre-registration checklist prior to registering for classes. The list also covers placement exams and if you need to take them. Go through EVERYTHING. Itās extensive so Iām not sure how long it will take.
Iām not sure if youāve registered for orientation yet but you can do that through the orientation site.

The pre-reg checklist is under blackboard? Not sure why it is hidden in thereā¦used to be with the orientation info and they sent an email with it. Hopefully they still do that.
Good info!
From what my daughter showed me itās not in the email specifically but there is now a walkthrough on the orientation website that directs you to Blackboard.

Lol-
I did all the leg work for you.
Iām a Communication fall 2021 admit at Annenberg, too.
I freaked about the series of placement tests it automatically prompts you to take.
Obvs English would have been a breeze, but I already took stats before applying so I was confused why Iād need to take a math placement test. I was concerned Iād need to study before hand and reached out to admissions to clarify and they said those donāt apply to us if weāve already completed our Core Literacies.
You do need to reach out to the language center if you havenāt tested out for the third level of a language yet.
But Iām actually pretty stoked to take French 3 at USC, tbh 
Hoping some decisions happen today
has anyone heard anything today? nothing on my end ://
I havenāt reached out yet about my Level 3 Language, Iāll prob do that tomorrow.
I was pretty overwhelmed by all the placement exams and modules it was telling us to look over without any direction as to what was next but luckily enough the people on CC are extremely helpful.
I have been out of school over the past year due to COVID so I hope it doesnāt take me too long to get acclimated again to college course work but Iām sure Iāll be fine.
Congrats on Annenberg! Iām excited about being in the Media Center, it looks so sick. See you on campus dude!
