Welcome to Clemson University!
I've been accepted to Clemson, now what?
1. Contact your department
Please contact the program coordinator in your academic department or program directly to inform them of your intention to accept or decline the offer of admission to their program.
2. Complete Medical Requirements and Health Insurance
All new students, except distance learners who are enrolled in programs that are conducted exclusively online, are required to complete the Online Medical Clearance Form and provide written proof of required immunizations by July 1st for fall semester and December 1st for spring semester. Please consult directly with Redfern Health Center to determine whether or not the online program in which you will be enrolled makes you exempt from the policy. Please see the official Medical Clearance Policy by clicking here. You will not automatically be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan. If you do not already have health insurance coverage, and wish to enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan, you will need contact Redfern Health Center to request enrollment.
3. Register for courses.
Before registering for courses, please check with your department and/or advisor to see if there are specific courses for which you should be registering. You must be registered for a minimum of 9 credit hours to be considered a full time student.

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.
