General Information:

Need to meet with your advisor?

You can conveniently schedule a meeting with your advisor online at: www.clemson.edu/ces/aa by clicking on the “schedule now” button. This will ensure your advisor is in the office and has adequate time to meet with you. Drop-ins are welcomed for quick questions. The Advising Center is located at 104 Holtzendorff Hall and is open Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Didn’t get all the classes you need for fall? Using the Request Log

If there is a course that you are required to take for your major that is full (not a general education requirement), you should place yourself on the request log. It will take time for the departments to work the request logs as they determine if additional sections are needed. Departments may not be able to resolve the request logs before the end of the semester, so please be patient.

Note from ECE Department about online offerings

In Fall 2012, ECE is offering online ECE 201 (section #400) and ECE 202 (section #400) which are restricted to distance education students only. These sections are NOT OPEN for students who attend classes on campus in the fall whether you live on or off campus, but are strictly for distance education students. 

Thinking about summer school at home? Want to see which courses at other colleges will transfer to Clemson?

Visit Clemson’s online Transfer Credit Equivalency List (TCEL): www.clemson.edu/tcel. This site shows those courses that have been pre-approved to transfer into Clemson. University policy dictates that only 100 – 200 level courses will be approved to be taken at another institution.

If you have a class you want to take elsewhere this summer, complete the following steps:

• Come by the CoES Advising Center for a permission form called a “Work Taken Elsewhere Form”
• View the instructions for how to properly complete the form online at: http://prezi.com/h0ev1dwxkc88/work-elsewhere-form-instructions/
• Meet w/ an advisor to sign the form

Please note: You will have to apply to that school as a summer school or transient student and follow their procedures for enrolling in the course you want to take. You must earn a C or better in any transfer classes to earn credit at Clemson.
