<p>You can “choose” courses - that is, make a list of courses you would like to sign up for - but you cannot commit your schedule until orientation. USC will set aside some frshman classes for each orientation, so there will still be “classes left.” </p>
<p>Most students take 4 academic classes and a 1 or 2 unit “fun” class or freshman seminar. As a freshman, you have LOTS of classes you need, so make a list of 8 or 9 courses that would work for you and plan to be flexible.</p>
<p>Remember, USC has done this before a few times… it all works out. I can tell you I have never seen a post from a freshman saying they were not able to get four courses they needed for their first semster.</p>
