Student Services Mission Statement
The Student Services Academic Advisement Office serves a diverse group of students by guiding and supporting them in reaching their academic career goals at USC through personalized, comprehensive one-on-one sessions or in group settings. Our professional advisors are dedicated to helping students plan their entire academic course plan and respond to student services related questions, policies, and procedures. We provide students with effective resources, tools, and referrals to appropriate departments regarding academic, personal, social, and career development matters. The advisors encourage students to take ownership and advantage of their education, to practice self-care and wellness, and seek assistance from their faculty, course TAs, and the EEB staff.
For Spring 2021, students are welcome to attend our ECE Virtual Drop-In Advising sessions via Zoom. Our drop-in advising sessions to assist with general questions will be held on Wednesdays from 5pm-7pm PST and on Fridays from 10am-12pm PST. To attend, please click here (Meeting ID: 959 7022 7791 - Passcode: 882623)
In order to better accommodate your needs, EE Student Services has designated every student with an Academic Advisor. All forms of communication (including e-mail, phone calls, walk-in visits) should be with your Academic Advisor.
All non-ECE students, please direct inquiries to studentinfo@ee.usc.edu
