Limited Status Students — USC OIS

[Photo] A large brick campus building with a central clock tower overlooks a plaza filled with outdoor tables shaded by bright red umbrellas. Students gather around the seating area, with trees framing the scene beneath a vivid blue sky streaked with wispy clouds.

In certain circumstances, based on U.S. immigration regulations, persons in the United States in specific nonimmigrant visa categories may be allowed to enroll in courses at USC as a limited status (non-degree) student. For further details about applying for permission to enroll as a limited status student, please see the Office of Academic Records and Registrar website.
