You Belong Here!
Student Life
Clemson University has multiple student clubs and organizations focused on different areas of accessibility and inclusion. We encourage you to browse student clubs using TigerQuest to find communities on campus that align with your interests and values.
Commission on Accessibility
The Commission on Accessibility is comprised of Clemson University faculty and staff. Volunteer faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students from different areas across campus contribute to Commission activities. The Commission provides accessibility-related insight to Clemson University's Division of Community, Engagement, Belonging and Access and the University. Each member is passionate about students, employees and visitors gaining the tools and environments needed to succeed. Meetings with the combined group occur four times a year, with most of the work being completed by subcommittees working in specialized areas.
Adaptive Sports and Recreation Lab
The Adaptive Sports and Recreation Lab opens the realm of recreational and competitive sports to more people on campus and in the community. The adaptive sports program started Clemson's Wheelchair Tennis Team. It hosts the Palmetto Games, a May multisport competition, and the Clemson Wheelchair Tennis Championships every July. The program also organizes the intramural wheelchair basketball program through Campus Recreation. For more information on how you can get involved, contact Jasmine Townsend at adaptivesports@clemson.edu.
ClemsonLIFE

The 2-year Basic Program incorporates functional academics, independent living, employment, social/leisure skills and health/wellness skills in a public university setting. Additionally, ClemsonLIFE offers a 2-year Advanced Program for students who have demonstrated the ability to safely live independently, sustain employment and socially integrate during the Basic Program. The Advanced Program progresses with an emphasis on workplace experience, community integration and independent living with transitionally reduced support. Students who complete the Basic or Advanced program will receive a corresponding Postsecondary education certificate.
Spectrum Program
The Spectrum Program is committed to helping students build connections through their college experience that will assist them in achieving academic, social, career and professional development success. The Spectrum Program provides individualized services beyond standard accommodations for students diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
