A cumulative grade point average of C (2.0) is required for all courses taken at USC as well as all upper division courses applied toward the major, regardless of the department in which the courses are taken. International applicants to USC follow the same application steps as other first-year or transfer applicants. We are familiar with the many educational systems from which students apply, and we will consider your application within the context of your educational environment. Provide official copies of academic records from all secondary or senior secondary schools, pre-university programs, and colleges and universities you have attended.*

These records must be sent directly from the schools or testing agencies. If the native language is not English, they must also be submitted in the native language, accompanied by a certified English translation.

Send external examination results and/or predicted results, such as GCSE/IGCSE results, as well as predicted IB or A-Level results, Indian board examination results, Australian ATAR, etc.

AND

Affirm that your application and all presented work is your own, factually true and honestly presented.
