In fall 2021, USC is returning to the normal grade option election deadlines and standards. For more information on this, please review the Fall 2021 academic FAQs.

General Information

The Registrar's Office oversees the distribution of university diplomas, in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Most diplomas are mailed to the permanent address of record, six to eight weeks after a degree is conferred.

The student name that will appear on the official USC diploma will match the student’s name as it appears on their STARS report and USC academic transcript. Students who wish to change their name as it appears in the Student Information System must submit a form of government-authorized identification to gtv@usc.edu. The name change request must be completed before the student has graduated.

Certain activity restrictions or an invalid address will prevent your diploma from being printed until the problem is corrected. Any restrictions attached to your account can be found on the Restrictions link in OASIS which can be accessed through the myUSC portal.

Hours: Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
