My USC Experience Student Resources

Your traditional USC transcript shows your academic progress. My USC Experience helps you showcase the experiences that happen beyond the classroom. 

Tell Your Story 

My USC Experience allows you to document and highlight the activities, leadership roles, service, research, internships, and other experiences that make your college journey unique.  

You decide what to include and how to present it. Your Record is visible to you and various support office staff (e.g., Career Center Coach, Center for Integrative and Experiential Learning Advisors) and your Carolina Experience Peer Leader can help you access, describe, and answer questions about the engagement tool. This collective guidance can help you reflect on your growth and plan for future goals.  

Why It Matters 

My USC Experience can help: 

  • Track your involvement and accomplishments 
  • Reflect on what you've learned outside the classroom 
  • Identify skills and experiences that support your career goals 
  • Better communicate your strengths to employers and graduate schools 

 Create Custom Transcripts 

You can create different versions of your My USC Experience transcript based on your needs, such as: 

  • Scholarship and award applications 
  • Internship and job opportunities 
  • Graduate or professional school applications

Eligibility 

My USC Experience is available to students who enrolled at USC in Fall 2018 or later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each student record is linked to a catalog entry that describes the educational purpose of the program and the knowledge and skills students practice and apply through their engagement.  These additional records are intended to help students reflect on their learning from these experiences and to guide planning for future purposeful involvement.  The information may be useful for advising conversations as it provides a more holistic view of their college experience.  Students may select records from their My USC Experience to include in a USC Experience transcript, which can be sent by the university to prospective employers, graduate schools, and others at the request of the student.

This is a relatively new system; new Engagements are being added each term.  

If you are aware of a program, event, or activity that seems appropriate for inclusion, please contact USCExperience@sc.edu.

You have the option to keep a record private and to “hide” a record from advisor/other view.  It is recommended your academic advisor have access to all aspects of your experiences in order to best support you.  However, you may choose to keep a record private.  When viewing your My USC Experience records, you can select “keep this private” for any record and it will not be visible to your academic advisor.
