Graduate Study Abroad

Any non-USC administered overseas study programs or any courses taken abroad by currently enrolled USC students must be reviewed and pre-approved by the student’s home program and school, and the Offices of Admission and Degree Progress prior to enrollment.

The Student Travel Abroad — Destination Restrictions and Crisis Management Policy outlines the responsibilities of students, faculty and staff engaged in the process of organizing and managing student travel abroad.

Students traveling abroad independently, including PhD students performing research, attending conferences, or any other University-related activity, must work with administrative staff in their departments to complete the Independent Student Travel Registration to comply with the USC policy for Student Travel Abroad. All students are required to share information, sign travel release forms and secure University-sponsored travel health insurance and International SOS coverage prior to travel through this process. Questions can be addressed to stabroad@usc.edu.
