2. Get your student ID
Students of the Historic Preservation program in Charleston will need to be issued a College of Charleston Cougar Card in order to have access to the facilities on the College of Charleston campus. Please visit the Cougar Card office website at http://www.cofc.edu/auxiliaryservices/cougar/.
3. See your Department Program Coordinator
As a new student, you will need to see your department program coordinator or student services coordinator to find out information about your program's orientation, be assigned an office, learn what courses you need to register for, and to complete any additional paperwork that they require. To see a listing of departmental orientation dates and times, please click here.
2. Register for courses.
If you have not done so already, you will need to register for courses. Please check with your department and/or advisor to see if there are specific courses you should be registering for. You must be registered for a minimum of 9 credit hours to be considered a full time student and eligible for an assistantship.

3. Complete required paperwork for assistantship.
If you have received an assistantship, there is paperwork you need to complete with your department. You will need to have a checking account in your name and blank checks. International students must have applied for a social security card. You must be in the US for 10 days before you are able to apply for a social security card. You will not receive a pay check until this is completed.
4. Pay student fees and/or tuition.
Even if you are on an assistantship, you will still be responsible for paying student fees. Please see the Bursar's office to pay your tuition and fees after registering for courses. You must pay your tuition and fees by August 10th for mailed payments, or August 13th for credit card or walk-in payments. You will not have a tuition bill until you have registered for courses. If you register for classes after the tuition payment deadline, you will need to pay your tuition and fees the same day you register for classes, otherwise you will be assessed a $75 late fee. Also, if you have not provided Clemson with your final transcript or final degree certificate, you will need to bring it with you to the Admissions office in E-209 Martin Hall.
