We hear this question every day from international students like you. With the coronavirus
pandemic, we understand that visa availability and travel plans may have been impacted.
As always, the University of South Carolina has you covered.
We are working to get you to campus as soon as possible, in ways that ensure your
health and safety. If you face delays in arriving to campus on time, explore our solutions
for beginning your university journey in a way that is tailored to you.
The UofSC will be open and operating this summer. You are welcome to arrive on campus at the start of the regular semester in May if that is possible for you. Our team will be available to support you during your
transition to life in the U.S.
If you are unable to arrive on campus for the summer semester for either start option,
we can help you study at UofSC from wherever you are. Many classes are offered online
in real time but have been optimized for your time zone; some have online asynchronous
options that will allow you to learn on your own schedule, with academic support to
keep you on track.
Students also have the choice of starting their studies through American Collegiate Live, a digital classroom experience that will allow you to earn credits and then continue
your studies on campus in summer. This approach is recommended for students studying
English only (Track 4).
