Students who would like to enroll in courses at another institution while maintaining their student status at USC must receive permission from OIS prior to doing so. In order to register at another institution, students must be first registered full-time at USC for the same term (except for summer semesters).
In order to receive the Permission to Attend another Institution (PTAAI) letter, students must submit the PTAAI form to OIS. The PTAAI letter will be available for pick up at OIS in 4 business days.
The PTAAI letter is only a verification of a student’s full-time student status at USC under the USC I-20 authorization. It is not an approval to transfer unit credit, subject credit or for major substitution. Students who wish to transfer courses must consult their academic advisor and the USC Office of Articulation.
