One site of the Math Kangaroo Team Competition on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Registration is closed for this event.

Regular registration closes on Thursday, 31 December 2026. Late registration starts on Friday, 1 January 2027 and closes on Monday, 1 February 2027.
We create and host two math competitions each academic year on USC's University Park campus. They are designed to be roughly equivalent in content and difficulty:
The Fall competition is usually held in late October.
The Spring competition is usually held in late March.
Provisions also exist for competing online, if you live too far from USC or are otherwise unable to be on campus on the competition day.
