Admission Guide
You can apply to USC Union through the main USC application system with a $65 application fee. The school operates on rolling admissions, so you can submit your application throughout the year, though applying earlier gives you better access to financial aid and course scheduling.
Submit your high school transcript or GED scores along with your application. You don't need SAT or ACT scores for admission to most programs. If you're transferring from another college, send those transcripts as well.
USC Union offers associate degrees and certificate programs, with nursing being the most competitive program on campus. The nursing program requires separate application materials including prerequisite coursework, and spots fill quickly each year. Other popular programs include business administration, criminal justice, and liberal arts for students planning to transfer to four-year universities.
The campus doesn't offer on-campus housing, so you'll need to arrange your own accommodations in Union or the surrounding area. Most students commute from within a 30-mile radius of the campus.
Complete your FAFSA early to maximize financial aid opportunities. USC Union participates in federal and state aid programs, and many students qualify for Pell Grants that can cover a significant portion of tuition costs.
Once admitted, you'll attend an orientation session where you'll meet with academic advisors to plan your course schedule. Register for classes as soon as your enrollment window opens, since some popular courses have limited seats. The campus offers both day and evening classes to accommodate working students.
USC Union credits transfer smoothly to other USC campuses if you decide to continue your education at a four-year institution. Many students use this pathway to complete their first two years at lower cost before transferring to USC Columbia or other universities.
