<p>Once you submit your enrollment deposit, you sign up for orientation and begin on your “orientation homework.” Orientation homework is filling out forms and taking placement tests and alcohol education and… and I can’t remember the rest.</p>
<p>You sign up for classes at orientation. You can start looking at the Fall offerings here: [Fall</a> 2010 | Schedule of Classes](<a href=“http://web-app.usc.edu/soc/term_20103.html]Fall”>302 Found)</p>
<p>There is no advantage to submitting your deposit early, except that you have a wider choice of dates for orientation. If you have commitments over the summer that restrict when you can attend, that is the only reason I can thik of to submit the deposit in advance of the deadline. (BTW, classes will be set aside for all orientation sessions, so there isn’t an advantage to going to an earlier session.)</p>
