Registration is limited and reservations will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. There are no registration deadlines for Open House, Off-Campus or Online Explore USC events. What should I do if all the weekday Explore USC dates are full? Explore USC is our most popular campus visit program, so it fills quickly. Although we prefer not to limit attendance at our events, we must do so in this case to ensure the best possible experience for our visitors. We recommend that you check this site regularly, as students occasionally cancel and their spaces become available. We also offer several other campus visit opportunities throughout the spring. Please refer to our Admitted Students website and your Explore USC page for further information. Can I modify my registration? Yes, you can modify your registration by visiting your Registration page, which can be accessed through your confirmation email. You will be able to modify how many guests you are bringing as well as their information. To change the date of your weekday Explore USC event, you will need to cancel your current reservation and re-register for your desired date.
