Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Curriculum Advising
Matters of curriculum -- curricular eligibility and course selection, e.g. -- require you to meet with both your undergraduate academic advisor as well as the graduate advisor for the program to which you are applying. Below is a list of department specific PDP information about advising. You may also email any member of the academic department's student affairs team in order to be connected to the correct advisor.
