<p>Here’s the academic calendar for the next school year - [USC</a> Academics - Academic Calendar - Academic Year 2008-2009](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/academics/calendar/20082009.html]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/academics/calendar/20082009.html)</p>
<p>TGV Break is Nov 27-29, so if you want to leave before the 27th, while classes are still in session, I think you’d have to wait until the student gets the syllabus from the professor so you can see if there is an exam or paper due that week then make the choice for yourself based on that.</p>
