Transfer Students

Welcome to Clemson University Orientation for 2013 fall semester.

Things to Know

Orientation for you is a one-day program. The Orientation and Transition Fee is $220. This fee provides for the complete orientation experience, which includes the summer program and Clemson Connect in August before classes start. This is a series of integrated programs designed to assist new students in their successful transition to Clemson.

Your orientation session begins with check-in at 8 a.m. in the Hendrix Student Center and concludes by 5:30 p.m. after course registration. Lunch is included. A schedule-at-a-glance will be available soon to outline the events and programs.

On campus housing is not included in the fee, but is available in Manning Hall.  Room includes a pillow, linens and towels. Options for you during online registration:

• You may add pre-orientation housing for the night before your session at an additional cost of $20. 
• You may add post-orientation housing for the night of your session at an additional cost of $20.

How to Register a Guest

During online registration, you may add one or two guests. The fee for each guest is $25; this fee covers their materials, the program and lunch. Guests will attend their own orientation program, which does not follow the student program. A schedule-at-a-glance will be available soon.  Guests are responsible for their own accommodations; we do not provide any housing options for your guests.

Orientation Pre-Guide

This Orientation Pre-Guide has information to help you prepare for the orientation session on campus. It is recommended that both you and your parents read the guide before attending orientation. The guide contains information, such as:

• items to complete prior to attending orientation, including placement tests and medical clearance information
• travel information
• orientation schedule information
• link to the orientation parking pass

Also, review the New Student Checklist and FAQs for helpful info.

Session and Housing Check-in

Check back here in early summer for more details about session check-in and on-campus housing check-in.

If you choose the pre-orientation housing option, please note:

• Check-in is in the lobby of Manning Hall from 3-7 p.m.
• Anyone arriving after this check-in time should still go to the residence hall. The contact number for the manager-on-duty will be posted on the door. Call the manager to access the building and check-in to orientation housing.
• If you check-in to pre-orientation housing and receive your key, you will be charged the fee, whether or not you sleep in the room that night.
