USC Viterbi School of Engineering offers two resources for academic advising. Department advisors assist students with questions about registration and programs of study; advisors with the Master's and Professional Programs (MAPP) office provide guidance regarding general USC policies and procedures. 

Enrollment in engineering classes is generally by departmental permission ("d-clearance"). Permission is given after advisement by faculty members.  Procedures for selcting your advisor vary in each department.  Some departments may assign an advisor in advance, while others will wait until you arrive so that they can ask you about your areas of interest and then refer you to an appropriate professor.
