Limited Status

DEN D-Clearance and Registration

Summer 2025

Hello DEN@Viterbi Limited Status Students!

Please review the registration memo information carefully.

Limited Status Student Policy Reminders

Limited Status students can take a maximum of 12 units under the limited-status enrollment category.

If you complete your 12th unit as a limited-status student this semester, you will not be eligible to take another course in Summer 2024 unless you have been formally admitted to a degree or certificate program.
If you exceed the 12-unit maximum, the last course taken will not count towards meeting degree requirements.

We strongly encourage limited students to apply for formal admission as soon as possible. Please review the information on how to apply for formal admission.

D-clearance Issuing Timeline

Our office will process d-clearance requests within 1-2 business days.

Once your D-clearance request has been issued, you can then register for the course via web registration. DEN sections have DEN@Viterbi under the location section. For instructions on how to register, here is the link: https://arr.usc.edu/services/registration/webregistration.html#Register

Expired D-clearance

D-clearances are valid for 7 business days. After 7 business days, your request will expire and registration will no longer be possible unless a request is submitted to reinstate d-clearance. Course availability is not guaranteed so we encourage you to register while you have an active d-clearance.

Semester Payment

Tuition and class fees are assessed at the time of registration and due when billed, regardless of class start date(s). Please visit the Student Financial Services website for information about the settlement of your student account.

If you have questions, you can contact us via email at vaseden@usc.edu or attend the weekly VGASP virtual drop-in hours hosted every Monday - Wednesday from 10 am to 12 pm PST via Zoom.
