If you have never attended the Columbia campus as a degree-seeking student or if you’re currently enrolled at another UofSC campus in a degree-seeking program, please do not complete this application.
You should complete the non-degree application if you are a college graduate needing additional undergraduate coursework or a visiting/transient student from another institution.
