Academic Resources
CU 1000
Your first semester at Clemson, you will be required to complete CU 1000. CU 1000 is a zero-credit, pass/no pass that all new Clemson students take. It is a hybrid course with some modules completed in person and some completed online through Canvas. This course is designed to introduce you to the resources, tools and staff members who are available to help you thrive as a Tiger on campus.

Transfer Student Involvement Opportunities
In addition to the student organizations and events listed below, the office of Transfer Programs hosts academic workshops and social events to connect the transfer community with their peers on campus.
Transfer 2 Tiger Mentor Program
The Transfer 2 Tiger Mentor Program (T2T) is a peer-to-peer mentoring opportunity for new transfer students to connect with upperclassmen transfer students. The purpose of a transfer-specific mentor program is to help cultivate a support system within the transfer community at Clemson.
Current transfer students have completed at least one semester at Clemson before applying as a T2T mentor. All incoming transfer students will have the opportunity to sign-up as a T2T mentee at the beginning of their first semester.
Transfer Council and Undergraduate Student Government
Transfer Council is part of Clemson’s Undergraduate Student Government. All members of Transfer Council transferred into Clemson, giving them 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.
National Transfer Student Week
Each year, we host a week of events designed to celebrate transfer students at Clemson and help you stay connected at Clemson. From free food to fun events and giveaways, this is a great time to celebrate your transfer journey at Clemson and get connected to helpful resources on campus while making new friends and meeting mentors who want to serve you well.
