Clemson University CORE VALUES STATEMENTThomas Green Clemson, in conceiving this University, envisioned it would be “a high seminary of learning.” Fundamental to the pursuit of this vision is the common foundation provided to students, faculty, staff and all members of the University family by the understanding and adoption of the Clemson University Core Values:

INTEGRITY, HONESTY, RESPECT.

Therefore, as heirs to the University that Thomas Green Clemson dreamed of long before us, we each pledge this to our University and peers:

As a member of the Clemson University family, I will uphold Clemson’s Core Values as I pursue excellence in all aspects of my life.

TIGER TRANSITION

ECLIPSE OVER CLEMSONClemson, South Carolina will be a hub for Great American Eclipse watchers up and down the eastern seaboard on Monday, Aug. 21, 2017. The next time a total eclipse over Clemson will occur will be July 2772. Partial eclipse begins at 1:08 p.m. and the total eclipse for two minutes and 37 seconds at 2:37 p.m. Special events will be held for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Check out our website for moreinformation clemson.edu/eclipse.

The first few weeks and months coming to Clemson will be filled with new experiences, fears and excitement. All of these are part of your overall transition to college and to Clemson. During your transition to Clemson, we want you to understand the academic culture and expectations at Clemson, so you can identify as a member of the campus community and begin to understand your personal and social responsibility as a college student. To help achieve these outcomes and the required components, we have broken down your transition into three distinct parts:

WELCOME LEADERS AND HOMEROOMA Welcome Leader is an undergraduate student who has volunteered to support and mentor new students during CU 1000 Tiger Transition and throughout their transition to Clemson. You will first meet your Welcome Leader in your Tiger Transition homeroom. It is a convenient space to meet your Welcome Leader and fellow new students.

Beginning early August, you will be able to locate your Welcome Leader’s information through your CU 1000 Tiger Transition Canvas course. Your Welcome Leader will then guide you through your Tiger Transition events and activities the days before classes begin. They will also continue to serve as a resource for you throughout the fall semester. You will hear from your Welcome Leader weekly through the first six weeks.

Your Welcome Leader is available before, during and after classes begin for any questions or support you might need during this time of transition.

PART ONE: NEW STUDENT ORIENTATIONYour participation during the summer Orientation experience is part one of Tiger Transition. The items you have accomplished prior to attending Orientation and the activities and meetings you are attending during Orientation are all in preparation for your arrival this fall. As soon as you leave campus from summer Orientation, you move into the second phase.

PART TWO: KICK-OFF CLEMSONUniversity Convocation, President’s Picnic, Welcome Back Festival, RecFest, Out-of-State Connections, Many More Social and Night Programs

University Convocation is on Monday, Aug. 21 and is the main experience during Kick-Off Clemson and the formal welcome to the academic community at Clemson. University President, Dr. James P. Clements, and student leaders will welcome you to Clemson University. All new undergraduate and graduate students will hear this year’s common reading speaker and editor of “This I Believe,” Jay Allison.

PART THREE: CU 1000Part three of your Tiger Transition is to enroll in and complete CU 1000. CU 1000 is a required, zero-credit course that introduces new students to Clemson’s academic and community standards as well as to resources and support services that can help students make a successful academic, personal and social transition to Clemson. You will register for CU 1000 during Orientation and complete the course during the fall semester. The content for this course will be delivered through online modules and in-person workshops. You will complete and submit all CU 1000 assignments in Canvas, Clemson’s online student learning management system. After completing this course, you will learn about Clemson’s Core Values of Integrity, Honesty and Respect, campus success resources such as the Academic Success Center and Cooper Library, strategies for becoming a more effective learner, and how to make smart decisions that promote personal and community safety and success.

You will receive an email announcement at the beginning of the fall semester with instructions about how to access the course syllabus and assignments in Canvas.

1. STUDY SMARTER, NOT HARDER: THE ACADEMIC SUCCESS CENTER 118 Class of '56 Academic Success Center

Join this interactive session presented by program coordinators from the Academic Success Center. You will learn what to expect when it comes to succeeding academically at Clemson — along with detailed descriptions of all the support services provided at no charge for Clemson students. We will also share compelling data about the success rates for students who use these services.

2. FRATERNITY AND SORORITY LIFE 302 Class of '56 Academic Success Center

This session will focus on helpful information about the Clemson fraternity and sorority community, including the benefits of membership, recruitment/intake processes and important policies.

3. STUDY ABROAD: GLOBALIZE YOUR CLEMSON EXPERIENCE 315 Class of '56 Academic Success Center

Add an international component to your Clemson Experience by studying abroad. In today’s global society, students with international experience are sure to have what it takes to be successful after graduation. You can study abroad during any term and take courses that apply to your major and possibly even use your financial aid. Studying abroad allows you to carry your Tiger pride across the globe.

4. CENTER FOR CAREER AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CCPD) 316 Class of '56 Academic Success Center

The CCPD information session during Orientation is designed to inform students and parents of the services the office provides. It will be an interactive presentation with ample opportunity to ask questions. It is the desire of the CCPD that both incoming new and transfer students, as well as their parents, know the services provided from the students’ first year through their last year and beyond.

5. IPTAY COLLEGIATE CLUB AND ATHLETIC TICKETS300 Class of '56 Academic Success Center

Learn the different ways students and families can receive athletic tickets, and specifically football and basketball tickets. Along with tickets and ticket policies, we will be discussing the benefits of joining the IPTAY Collegiate Club.

SESSION ONE: 2–2:45 P.M. | SESSION TWO: 3–3:45 P.M.

TRANSFER ORIENTATION CHANGE OF MAJOR8–9:15 A.M. | WATT FAMILY INNOVATION CENTERNoon | SECOND FLOOR, HENDRIX STUDENT CENTER2:30 P.M. | MARTIN HALL

If you want to change your major, please complete the Change of Major form as soon as you have made your decision, as it impacts your Orientation schedule in getting you to the correct college and department meeting.

Many students do not know what they want to major in, let alone what they are going to do after college. It’s okay! We encourage students who struggle with this decision to stay in their current major, meet with the college advising center and work toward general education courses. In the fall semester, students are encouraged to make an appointment with the Center for Career and Professional Development to start exploring interests and a potential new major.

CHANGE OF MAJOR OPPORTUNITIESIn order to advise students most appropriately for course registration at Orientation, it is important to change your major as soon as you’ve made the decision to do so. Failure to change your major can delay your course registration window opening time. Please change your major before attending your college meeting.

INTERESTED IN A CLOSED MAJOR?Some majors at Clemson are limited due to space availability. In this instance, they are considered to be “closed.” A student interested in enrolling in a closed major should set up a meeting with the Academic Advising Center associated with that major early, during the fall semester, which will alert the student to specific change of major requirements (GPA, hours completed, etc.). Additionally, if the Advising Center is aware of a student’s interest in a change of major, they can include them on their correspondence with their majors. The keys to a successful change of major (especially “closed” majors) are maintaining fall grades and making contact with an academic adviser in the desired major.
