1 Student Academic Guide For Tri-County/Clemson Course Equivalencies, Clemson General Education Requirements, LIFE Scholarship Requirements and Tri-County/Clemson Academic Policies and Resources With the exception of the nontransferable mathematics courses listed in the mathematics placement section, all of the courses listed in this Academic Guide transfer to Clemson. However, some transferable courses may not satisfy specific course requirements for a particular Clemson major. Furthermore, freshman-year course requirements vary by major. To make satisfactory progress toward completing the requirements for your intended major, you are strongly encouraged to enroll only in equivalent Tri-County courses appropriate for your intended Clemson major. Becoming knowledgeable about course equivalencies, Clemson major-specific requirements and Bridge academic standards is your responsibility. Please limit your enrollment to transferable Tri-County courses appropriate for your intended major that are listed in this Academic Guide. Refrain from enrolling in courses that do not transfer to Clemson. With the exception of the two selected nontransferable LIFE Scholarship-eligible courses (MAT 101 and MAT 102 only), any credits and grades earned in nontransferable courses other than MAT 101 and MAT 102 will not count toward meeting the Bridge academic standards of earning 30 credits and a 2.5 GPA on those credits. Refer to the Bridge Student Handbook for specific details about the academic standards that must be met to be admitted to Clemson. Welcome to the Bridge to Clemson program! The purpose of this Academic Guide is to facilitate your understanding of Tri-County/ Clemson course equivalencies, Clemson general education requirements, Tri-County and Clemson academic policies, academic advising resources and student success services available to you during your Bridge year. Awareness of these requirements and policies and use of the resources and services will help you achieve your goals of enrolling at Clemson beginning in fall 2014 and making timely progress toward graduation. This Academic Guide contains important information pertaining to the following: 1. Tri-County courses that count toward meeting Bridge academic standards 2. Tri-County mathematics course placement policies 3. Tri-County courses that satisfy Clemson general education requirements 4. Clemson Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) credit policies 5. LIFE Scholarship eligibility requirements 6. Contact information for Tri-County and Clemson academic advising and student success resources Before enrolling in any course, you should do the following: 1. Review and identify the freshman-year (and in some cases, sophomore-year) courses required for the Clemson major you plan to pursue as outlined in the Clemson Undergraduate Announcements. 2. Determine whether any college-level credits you earned through AP, IB and/or dual enrollment will satisfy any course requirements for your intended major. 3. Review this Academic Guide to identify the Tri-County equivalent courses for required Clemson courses. 4. Review the Tri-County catalog for any minimum COMPASS course requirements or mandatory prerequisite courses you will need to complete prior to enrolling in any Tri-County course(s) that you will need to satisfy requirements for your intended major. 5. Ensure that each identified Tri-County course is transferable and satisfies a general education and/or major-specific requirement for your intended major. For the most up-to-date list of transferable Tri-County courses and the corresponding Clemson course equivalents, visit clemson.edu/tcel. Any course denoted as NCT will not transfer to Clemson.

6 Clemson General Education Requirements An undergraduate student whose enrollment in a curriculum occurs after May 15, 2005, must fulfill the general education requirements in effect at that time. If a student withdraws from the University and subsequently returns or does not remain continuously enrolled (summers excluded), the requirements in effect at the time of return will normally prevail. Any variation in curricular or general education requirements shall be considered under the curriculum year change or the substitution procedure. Mission Statement Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the intellectual and ethical development of students and the general well-being of society. Undergraduate students must be broadly educated and technically skilled to be informed and productive citizens. As citizens, they need to be able to think critically about significant issues. Students also need to be prepared to complete undergraduate work and a major course of study. The mission requires a high level of knowledge about and competence in the areas shown here. General Education Competencies A. Arts and Humanities Demonstrate an understanding of the arts and humanities in historical and cultural contexts. B. Mathematics Demonstrate mathematical literacy through solving problems, communicating concepts, reasoning mathematically and applying mathematical or statistical methods using multiple representations where applicable. G. Communication Effective oral and written communication is the means by which all competencies will be demonstrated. H. Critical Thinking Demonstrate the ability to assemble information relevant to a significant, complex issue, evaluate the quality and utility of the information and use the outcome of the analysis to reach a logical conclusion about the issue. I. Ethical Judgment Demonstrate an ability to identify, comprehend and deal with ethical problems and their ramifications in a systematic, thorough and responsible way. Requirements 33 credit hours To meet general education competencies, 33 total credit hours are required, distributed as follows: 1) General education course work 31 credit hours; 2) distributed course work two credit hours; and 3) documentation of general education competencies, including examples of student work that document the student s achievement of general education competencies via an eportfolio. I. General Education Course Work: 31 hours required General education requirements in some curricula are more restrictive than those shown below. Science and technology in society and cross-cultural awareness requirements may be satisfied by other general education courses, as indicated in the footnotes below, as long as the student completes a total of 31 hours in area I and satisfies requirements A-F below. C. Natural Sciences Demonstrate scientific literacy by explaining the process of scientific reasoning and applying scientific principles inside and outside of the laboratory or field setting. D. Social Sciences Demonstrate an understanding of social science methodologies in order to explain the consequences of human actions. E.

12 LIFE Scholarship Eligibility Information The LIFE Scholarship is a four-year scholarship that is awarded to eligible S.C. resident students for two terms (fall and spring) during each academic year (up to a maximum of eight terms over four years). Prior to the start of the fall semester, Tri-County s financial aid office reviews all Bridge students to determine which students meet LIFE freshmanyear eligibility requirements. To be awarded the LIFE Scholarship for the second year of college, a first-year student must earn the following at the conclusion of the academic year (the academic year is defined as fall + spring + summer): 1. A minimum of 30 credit hours of eligible college-level course work 2. A minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA To maintain LIFE eligibility for the third and fourth years of college, a student must earn the following: 1. A minimum of 60 credit hours of college-level course work and 3.0 cumulative GPA by the conclusion of the second year in college 2. A minimum of 90 credit hours of college-level course work and 3.0 cumulative GPA by the conclusion of the third year in college Students are reviewed at the end of the spring term and summer term to determine their LIFE eligibility for the upcoming academic year. Students cannot gain or regain eligibility mid-year. Calculation of Credit Hours and GPA To Determine LIFE Eligibility All credit hours a student earned and/or was awarded from 1) dual-enrollment course work completed and/or AP/IB credits awarded during high school; 2) course work completed during the academic year at Tri-County; 3) summer school course work completed at any college or university after the Bridge year; and 4) an exemption examination will be used in the calculation of credit hours to determine a student s LIFE eligibility. An all-college GPA will be calculated and used only for determining a student s LIFE Scholarship eligibility. The allcollege GPA is calculated by totaling all of the grade (quality) points a student earned in all college-level courses from all colleges attended and then dividing the cumulative number of credit hours attempted in all college-level courses from all colleges attended. All in-state and out-of-state college course grades and credits attempted, including dual-enrollment courses completed during high school, are counted in the allcollege GPA. Grades earned in remedial and duplicate courses, on AP/IB and on exemption exams are not included in the LIFE GPA. Credit hours and grades earned during the summer prior to the start of a new academic year are included in the LIFE GPA calculation for the current academic year. 12 Bridge to Clemson Student Academic Guide

13 LIFE Enhancement The LIFE Scholarship Enhancement funds are available for eligible students during their second, third and fourth years of college. In order to receive the LIFE Enhancement, students must 1) have earned 14 credit hours of math and science course work at the conclusion of their first year of college and 2) be enrolled in one of the approved math- and sciencerelated majors. Please note that general engineering does not qualify as an approved major for the LIFE Enhancement. To become eligible for the LIFE Enhancement, general engineering students must complete all general engineering course requirements by the end of their first year of college and be accepted into one of the approved engineering disciplines.
