The information below will assist you in understanding the USC timetable and to locate the correct room at each of USC's study locations.
When planning your enrolment, it is important to take note of the location where the course is offered - some courses are available at multiple locations. When using the Timetable Planner, remember that you still need to formally enrol in your courses and classes in USC Central.
