Music Graduate Entrance Exams (MGEEs)
Carefully read through the details and policies of the Music Graduate Entrance Exams on the MGEE website. Be sure to refer to the MGEE chart on the website to determine which exams are required for your major.
Advisement Meeting
Your academic advisor, Nancy Wong, will be emailing you on July 25 at your USC email account with information for an advisement meeting on Zoom. You must attend an advisement meeting in order to register for your classes in the coming semester. If you do not meet with your advisor, then you will not have the necessary departmental clearances (D-clearances) to register for your classes.
Please be sure to have access to your myUSC portal during the advisement meeting so that you are able to use Web Registration.
Registration
You will be able to register for your classes in the coming semester during and immediately following your advisement meeting as long as you do not have a hold on your account and are able to log into Web Registration.
