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 Info

Undergraduate students who find it necessary to take time away from their studies may request to take a Leave of Absence with the academic advisor of their major. The Leave of Absence process eases the transition for students, both at the time they take a leave of absence and upon their eventual return to the university.

Students who intend to return to USC should visit the University's Leave of Absence website.
