Carolina Experience

Transfer Success

Student Organizations

The Carolina Experience office is the home to two campus student organizations for transfer students. These organizations are a great way to get connected as a new transfer student. You must be a current USC student to join.  

Association of Transfer Students 

The Association of Transfer Students is a student organization for transfer students created by transfer students. The purpose of the ATS is to assist transfer students as they transition to the University of South Carolina and foster a community that will support them academically, socially, and emotionally. 

One-time dues are $20 and can only be paid online.

Connect with ATS on Garnet Gate.  

Tau Sigma Honor Society   

Tau Sigma is a national honor society designed exclusively to "recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students.” 

Tau Sigma membership is by invitation only. 

If you are a transfer student to the USC Columbia Campus, enrolled in 12 or more credit hours during your first semester and have achieved a 3.5 GPA or higher during your first semester, be on the lookout for an invitation to join Tau Sigma. 

One-time dues are $50 and are paid to the national office once the invite is sent and then the student accepts the membership. 

Connect with Mu Chapter of Tau Sigma on Garnet Gate.  

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
