USC restricts freshmen from recruitment

[Sciencewoman]

Just a clarification on the thread title -- the new policy bars first semester freshmen and transfers from recruitment. From the article and letter from the VP of Student Affairs, it sounds like they may move to deferred second semester recruitment, as the new minimum is 12 earned credits at USC and a 2.5 USC GPA.

As a parent of two GLO members who recently went through recruitment -- one in January and one in September -- both of them think that deferred recruitment is preferable because they like the idea of having a semester to acclimate before adding weekly meetings and all the other "doings" to a student's schedule.
