Student Affairs and Academic Support

From students’ first steps on the historic Horseshoe until the moment they walk across the stage at graduation, the priority for the Division of Student Affairs and Academic Support is to enrich the student experience at the University of South Carolina.

Through our team of experts, Student Affairs and Academic Support enrolls academically prepared students and connects them with experiences and resources that will help them achieve a lifetime of meaningful leadership, service, employment and continued learning.

Every student comes to the university with unique circumstances — academic, cultural, physical and emotional. Our initiatives are designed to provide essential resources to support the individual needs of our students throughout their time at Carolina.

From Housing to Financial Aid, and from the Student Success Center to Gamecock Guarantee, our services and programs are accessed both online and at a number of campus locations. All together, the division is responsible for more than 40 university offices and manages dozens of facilities across campus.
