Finding it tricky to keep your program filters up-to-date with new posts? The majors, minors, post code and program search fields require that you enter each program individually.
A new filter has been added for you to search for student programs based on the owning school instead of inputting each program separately. The new field is call Program Owner and is located under the ACADEMIC FIELDS section of the search field list.
Here's how it works: just enter the type of programs you are looking for (major, minor, etc.) and the SIS code for your school (LAS, ENGR, BUAD, etc.). For example:
major-LAS
major-LASN
major-BUAD, minor-BUAD
The first example will return all students with at least one major in the College. The second example will return all students with a major in any of the Natural Sciences within the College. And, the third example will return all students with a major or minor in Marshall.
A list of the SIS program owner codes for each school is provided below for your reference:
ACCT - Leventhal School of Accounting
ANSC - Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism
ARCH - School of Architecture
BUAD - Marshall School of Business
CNTV - School of Cinematic Arts
DENT - Ostrow School of Dentistry
EDUC - Rossier School of Education
ENGR - Viterbi School of Engineering
FA - Roski School of Fine Arts
GERO - Davis School of Gerontology
GRAD - The Graduate School
LAS - College of Letters, Arts & Sciences (all programs)
LASH - College of Letters, Arts & Sciences - Humanities
LASN - College of Letters, Arts & Sciences - Natural Sciences & Mathematics
LASO - College of Letters, Arts & Sciences - Other Programs (Undecided, Undeclared)
LASS - College of Letters, Arts & Sciences - Social Sciences
LAW - Gould School of Law
MED - Keck School of Medicine
MUS - Thornton School of Music
PHAR - School of Pharmacy
PPD - School of Policy, Planning, and Development
SOWK - School of Social Work
THTR - School of Theatre

Students with Canceled Enrollment
In Fall 2008, the Advisement Database began receiving information identifying students who have at one point registered for a term, but later dropped all courses. This information appears in the Courses page for a student with the note "canceled enrollment" for the term.
When this information was first implemented, canceled enrollment students continued to appear in the "active" or "enrolled" list of students for the semester in which they had dropped all courses. This has now been updated so that students with canceled enrollment for a term will appear on your default list of enrolled students only through the add/drop period for the term (first three weeks). These students who are no longer enrolled for the current semester will be removed from the default enrolled list at the start of the fourth week.
You can still locate your students who have canceled enrollment for a term by using the "Canceled Enrollment Term" filter under ACADEMIC FIELDS with the "Enrolled" filter.

Update to Post code filter
In addition to your official majors and minors, the "Post code" filter was also returning records for students who had been referred or manually added to the major or minor. This has been corrected so that only students with official post codes from SIS appear in the search.
Remember that the filtering by Post code can be tricky if your program's post code number is less than 240. From 1-239, post codes for majors and minors overlap, so that searching for post code 29 would return both Chemical Engineering majors and International Relations minors.
If your program post codes are 240 or higher, than the Post code field will work fine. Otherwise, you may want to use the "Program" search field instead since this filter allows you to specify which type of program you are want, such as "major-29".
To locate students referred or manually added to your programs, who have been removed from the "Post code" filter, use the "Referred or Manually Added Majors" or "Referred or Manually Added Minors" search fields. These fields are similar to the "Majors" and "Minors" search fields where you would enter the lettered code for the program, such as CHE.

New International Status Filter
As you know, USC has the most International students of any University in the U.S. Since this fall's incoming class included a higher proportion of international students compared to recent years, you have been asked to reach out to your international students and develop programs that will better connect them to their major, department, and the University.
To assist you in locating your International students, a new search field has been added to locate students with International status. Scroll down to PROFILE FIELDS to use the new "International" search filter.
