D Clearance
Departmental clearance ("D-Clearance") is permission for a student to register for a class. Class sections with a "D" designation are restricted by the department offering the course, requiring students to obtain the department's permission ("D" clearance) before attempting to register.
Please email iyadvise@usc.edu about course availability and D-Clearance for non-majors.
