Get creative.Creative Inquiry (CI) defines undergraduate research at Clemson. Starting freshman year, students are empowered by faculty mentors to take ownership of cross-disciplinary, team-based investigations and make an impact on 21st-century challenges.

At the end of a CI, participants often find themselves traveling internationally or presenting their research at national conferences — fielding questions in front of both professors and industry professionals.

Take a broad approach. Clemson offers more than on-campus opportunities. Here, you can experience what it’s like to live, work and study around the globe through faculty-led, third-party or exchange programs and Clemson’s study abroad program.

Class of 1956 Academic Success Center (ASC)Located at the heart of campus near the Cooper Library and the Watt Family Innovation Center, the ASC helps students significantly improve their grades and maintain their academic scholarships through a better understanding of difficult class material. The free services available here include Peer-Assisted Learning, academic coaching and tutoring. Students also seek out the ASC for success strategy workshops and quiet study group areas.

Dive into world-class undergraduate research.

Hit the ground running.Clemson University offers a series of special events designed to get you the job of your dreams. These

events bring employers to campus to meet students, discuss employment opportunities, arrange for

interviews or provide a personal touch to the job search process.

College is more than classes, exams and grade point averages. It’s about the relationships you will build, the friendships you will make and the experiences that will define you. And Clemson is a great place to start.

Live it up.All of Clemson’s 22 residence halls and five apartment complexes are within a 10- to 15-minute walk to class. Don’t forget to check out our 17 nationally recognized Living-Learning Communities, including the Transfer Residential Community, which offers both academic support and opportunities for social engagement for new transfer students.

Get involved.There are more than 500 student clubs and organizations on campus from fraternities and sororities to international groups, military organizations, religious, service, sports, fitness, performing arts and much more. Find one that fits you or start your own!

Head out.Clemson is nestled on 1,400 beautiful acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Lake Hartwell. We’re next door to the South Carolina Botanical Garden and maintain the 17,500-acre Clemson Experimental Forest. Hike, bike or swim your way to the best study breaks anywhere.

Play hard.As a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Clemson boasts 19 NCAA athletic teams. Admission to regular-season events played on campus is included in University fees for full-time students, including football, basketball, soccer, baseball, cross country, track and field, golf, volleyball, tennis and rowing.

Explore.Campus is great, but many of our students find that their favorite spots to relax are off campus. Downtown Clemson is full of dining options from pizza to sushi, and the shopping ranges from boutique to game-day gear. Just 30 minutes away is Greenville with one of the fastest-growing downtowns in the country and a piece of the University — Experience Clemson — right in the heart of the city.

Just be you.

There when you need us.When it comes to your transfer to Clemson, we want to give you all the tools needed to succeed in the classroom, on campus and after graduation. In addition to the many programs offered to all students, transfer students enjoy a few that make their transition a simpler one.

Transfer Residential CommunityThe Transfer Residential Community is a Living-Learning Community for new transfer students housed in McCabe Hall on Clemson’s campus. Together, students participate in academic support programs and community-service projects each semester.

Transfer Council and Undergraduate Student GovernmentTransfer Council is part of Clemson’s Undergraduate Student Government. All members of Transfer Council transferred into Clemson, and they have a unique perspective on what new transfer students face. Transfer Council works to promote support programs for transfer students and provides a representative voice for the transfer student population on campus.

CU 1000CU 1000 is a zero-credit, pass/no pass course that all new Clemson students are required to complete during their first semester of enrollment. The purpose of CU 1000 is to introduce new students to Clemson’s student success resources and community standards and values. CU 1000 is a hybrid course — some modules are completed online, while others require in-person attendance. Course assignments are completed and submitted in Canvas, Clemson’s online learning management system.

Be supported. Stay connected.Ample opportunities to connect with mentors and a variety of support networks are available on campus. All are designed to support traditional and transfer students and set the stage for academic and social success. These include:

PEER For more than 20 years, Programs for Educational Enrichment and Retention (PEER) has offered an award-winning approach to student support — one that gives underrepresented students in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences a place to discover academic and professional success. PEER helps students develop the skills they’ll need to be excellent engineering, computing and science majors. Effective study skills, mentoring, time-management techniques, career planning and insights from current, successful undergraduates are all available through PEER.

WISE Research shows that girls are much more likely to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) occupations if they see and spend time with other women who have been successful in those fields. Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) provides programs and services that put female STEM students in touch with other female STEM majors or other women in their field of study.

FIRST ProgramThere are more than 2,000 first-generation college students at Clemson, and the FIRST program helps ensure success for students who are the first in their family to attend college with mentors, study halls, tutoring, guest speakers and workshops for college success, as well as a student lounge, social activities and off-campus excursions.

Apply yourself.Transfer admission is becoming increasingly more competitive.Below are a few guidelines to get you started:• Have your official college transcripts from each previous

institution attended sent directly to Clemson University, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 105 Sikes Hall, 29634-5124.

• If you took college courses while in high school (dual enrollment credit), be sure to send your official transcript from the institution(s) where you earned credit.

• Please provide a complete list of your educational history, naming each college or institution you have previously attended in chronological order. This should include each school in which you were previously enrolled, regardless of whether or not you expect to receive credit for the courses or if you withdrew prior to receiving final grades.

• Be prepared to select different first and second choices of majors. Do not list the same major twice.

• Have your credit card or debit card readily available to pay the application fee online when you submit your application. Clemson accepts all major credit cards.

• Be sure to submit the application online only. Do not send in a printed version of the online form.

• If you do not receive an email confirmation within a week of submitting an online application, or if you have trouble completing the online application, please call the Office of Admissions for assistance.

Transferring Credits from Another Institution Courses that have previously transferred to Clemson University can be viewed on the TCEL (Transfer Course Equivalency List) available on our website. The TCEL contains Clemson University course equivalencies for approximately 1,200 accredited colleges and universities nationwide. Please be advised the TCEL is only a history of how courses have transferred to Clemson and does not represent a comprehensive list of transferable coursework for any school.

If there is a course that is not showing a Clemson equivalency on the TCEL, it will be evaluated by the Office of Admissions upon acceptance. Follow the curriculum outline in Clemson’s Undergraduate Catalog for the degree that you plan to pursue, and take the equivalent courses listed on the TCEL. For specific questions regarding your intended major at Clemson University, speak with a faculty adviser by choosing from the Advisers List by subject area, located at clemson.edu/admissions/tcel.

Generally, transfer credits are applicable toward degree requirements if the courses taken are:• Earned at a school accredited by a regional accreditation

association, such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

• Similar in description to the corresponding course at Clemson.

• Required or permitted as an elective in a student’s curriculum.

• Graded at least a “C” or better.• Not a duplication of credits already earned.Note: No course taken at a non-baccalaureate degree institution may be used as an equivalent or substitute for any 300- or 400-level Clemson course.

Some resource links:• Clemson’s Undergraduate Course Catalog• AP/IB credits

There are specific majors at Clemson that, due to grade point average requirements and/or enrollment limitations, are more competitive. Students interested in the following majors will need to select a second choice of major when applying to allow more flexibility in the review process.

Apply early and contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for current admission requirements. The opportunity to change into one of these majors upon enrollment at Clemson cannot be guaranteed.• Communication• Construction Science and Management• Early Childhood Education• Elementary Education• General Engineering• Health Science (available for Fall term only)• Landscape Architecture• Language and International Health• Nursing (available for Fall term only)• Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management• Performing Arts• Professional Golf Management• Secondary Education• Special Education• Sports Communication

When applying to transfer into Clemson, you should:• Submit an online application.• Request final official transcripts be sent to the Office of Undergraduate

Admissions from each college or university previously attended. You must submit official transcripts even if you do not expect to receive credit for the work or if you withdrew prior to receiving final grades.

• Note: If you have been provisionally accepted, you must also arrange for Clemson to receive updated transcripts for any additional work you complete. A transcript that states “issued to student” is not considered official.

• If you took college-level courses (dual enrollment) while in high school, be sure to send official transcripts from the institution where credit was earned.

To improve your chance for admission, you should:• Complete a year of college study —

after high school graduation — earning 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours of transferable credit. Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and dual enrollment credit may not be used to count toward the 30 semester hours (45 quarter hours) requirement.

• Note: Consideration for transfer with fewer than 30 semester hours (45 quarter hours) is possible, but the applicant must also submit high school transcript and test scores (SAT or ACT). High school performance will be reviewed first, and a strong high school GPA, class rank and standardized test score are necessary. College academic performance is also required and will be reviewed, in addition to high school information. Students must meet freshman admission requirements.

• Earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale — 3.0 preferred.

• Complete freshman-level courses in English, science and mathematics for your intended major at Clemson University.

• Be in good standing and eligible to return to the institution last attended.

Additional Requirements for Select MajorsPGA Golf Management: Applicants must demonstrate evidence of a playing proficiency reflected in a handicap of 8 or better. Each student’s handicap must be verified by a member of the PGA or by a high school golf coach. For more information, visit clemson.edu/pgm.

Performing Arts: An audition is required for students interested in pursuing audio technology, music or theatre concentrations. For more information, visit clemson.edu/caah/departments/performing-arts/index.html.
