USC Viterbi School of Engineering
How DEN Works

DEN courses are transmitted from studio classrooms at the USC campus via an extensive e-learning system that enable students to access their classes anytime, anywhere. DEN students are viewing the same exact lecture as on campus graduate students.

Instruction is interactive; students can ask questions and carry on discussions with the instructor by telephone or threaded chat discussions.

How to view courses

DEN courses are delivered via the Internet, and are available on the web live and on-demand. All you need is high-speed Internet connection (minimum: DSL or cable connection). Courses are stored on the server for the entire semester, allowing you to review complex lessons or prepare for exams.

For more information on webcasting and technology specifications, please click here. For specific technical questions and help, contact our Webcast and Technical Help team at webclass@usc.edu or call (213) 821-1321.

Course notes, handouts and homework

Students can download their course notes and homework assignments from the individual course web site (accessed through logging onto the DEN web site).

  • Course notes generated by the professor during class will be posted alongside the webcast (students can download and print them before viewing a class if they are watching it after the lecture time). To see a demo, click here.

  • Handouts distributed during class will be posted before the beginning of class, or as soon as the professor provides the material. All course materials are posted within 24 hours of receipt.

  • Homework assignments will also be posted on the DEN course web site. The student is responsible for downloading the assignment and sending it back to DEN via e-mail or fax.

  • If students have questions about the course notes or homework process, please e-mail us.

Textbooks

Textbooks can be ordered from the USC Bookstore - (213) 740-5200. Students may also purchase textbooks at other book retailers. Textbook lists are reported by individual academic departments to the USC Bookstore. DEN does not maintain a list of textbooks for classes.


Mid-term and final examinations

  • For students who work or reside in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties, examinations will be taken at USC’s main campus.

  • For students outside of this region, exams are proctored at local area testing centers.

  • Students are required to take mid-term and final examinations at the time and location specified by DEN. Exceptions to this policy are not permitted except under extreme circumstances. The exam policies can be found here. Email the DEN Exams Coordinator at denexam@usc.edu with any exam-related questions.
