Welcome Week
Welcome to Clemson!

Every year, Clemson Honors offers various activities, meetings, and programs to welcome our incoming Honors students.
Watch your email for messages from Katie Maxwell, our Director of Advising and Student Development, with details about planned activities and events to get you acclimated to campus, including the Honors Center.

Honors Canvas Workgroup
Every Honors student has access to the Honors College Canvas workgroup. If this is your first year as a Clemson Honors student, watch your email for details about accessing the group in your Canvas dashboard.
The "Modules" section of the Canvas workgroup contains Honors Freshman Meeting modules. It is VERY important that first-year Honors students work through the modules. This module will remain available for the entire academic year, should you need to refer to it in the future.
