Top Ten Ways to Get Kicked Out
The “Top Ten” presentation was designed to create an opportunity for student conduct staff to speak frankly to students about rules and policies at USC. The core of the presentation centers on the most common pitfalls that freshmen may experience. Because a basic policy presentation would not be entertaining, the information is transferred in the form of anecdotes and focuses on the decision making errors that lead to OSJP and police referrals and how to make more safe decisions.
