Personal Photography
Due to fire laws and safety regulations, no one will be permitted to stand in the aisles during the ceremony to take pictures. Guests are welcome to take pictures from their seats with camera lenses smaller than 3” long.

The Leventhal Ceremony at Brittingham Field will have a designated photo area for guests to photograph their students after they have crossed the stage.

Commemorative Items

Class Rings, Diploma Frames, Announcement Cards
Class rings, diploma frames, and personalized commencement announcements by Herff-Jones may be ordered through the USC Bookstores website, or from Herff-Jones representatives during their sessions on campus throughout the spring.

Custom Stoles (“Sashes”)

While the majority of students rent (and do not purchase) their regalia, more and more are purchasing a stole (or sash) to wear on Commencement day. Stoles are available from the University Bookstore, and can be ordered with the USC logo or embroidered university seal, and can be customized with fraternity/sorority crests, graduation year, or other commemorative marks.

Commencement Program

The USC Commencement Program lists every graduate's name who is eligible to graduate in Fall 2023, Spring 2024, or Summer 2024 provided they verified their information with Degree Progress prior to printing. 

Digital programs for the Marshall and Leventhal Ceremonies will be posted on this website on commencement day and can be viewed via QR code that will be posted in the venues.

Yearbook

The El Rodeo Yearbook may be ordered online https://elrodeo.usc.edu/

For undergraduates to be eligible for university honors at commencement, a minimum overall grade point average of 3.5 for cum laude, 3.7 for magna cum laude and 3.9 for summa cum laude is required at the completion of the Fall 2023 semester. University honors is determined by either the USC GPA or the combined USC and transfer GPA, whichever is lower. USC GPAs are calculated to the third decimal place, but are never rounded up or down. University honors are noted on academic transcripts and diplomas once all coursework is completed. Undergraduate students will be notified at the end of April via email when Honor Cords are available for pick-up.

Students will receive a diploma cover during the school ceremony. Diplomas will be mailed approximately 6-8 weeks after all coursework has been completed and verified. Please verify your mailing address on your STARS report. Changes to your mailing address may be made on OASIS.

USC Marshall and Leventhal ceremonies will be live streamed. A link to each livestream can be found online HERE.
