USC’s Welcome Trojans Orientation acquaints new students with USC’s programs, services, policies, procedures — and beautiful campus! USC has a diverse student population, and orientation provides opportunities for students to meet peers from all over the world. All new international students at USC should attend the orientation, so please plan your arrival accordingly.
