Introduction
The Student Handbook contains material relevant to the everyday life of students attending the USC Gould School of Law. This includes graduation requirements, enrollment options and the academic and non-academic policies which govern the activities of students at the Law School. Each student is expected to be familiar with all of the information in this Handbook.
Please note that some policies apply differently to students depending upon their year in law school. Students who do not review this Handbook carefully may be unaware of policies of particular interest or relevance to them.
Student Connections
Additional helpful information is published online in the weekly Student Connections newsletter. Students should review each newsletter to make sure they do not miss any important deadlines or notices. The Student Connections newsletter is available online at:
University Publications
Students are also strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with two publications of the main University:
- SCampus is the Student Guidebook for the main University. It includes a great deal of information about campus resources as well as the University’s rules and regulations. It is available online at http://web-app.usc.edu/scampus/
- The USC Catalogue is the document of authority for all students, and is not superseded by this Handbook or publications produced by other academic units. The USC Catalogue is available online at http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2008/
