Newly Admitted Students

Congratulations again on your admission to USC Aiken and welcome to our campus community! There are a few steps before you begin classes. You can begin working on the following items:

1). Set-Up Usernames and Passwords
  • Self Service Carolina, your USC Aiken student e-mail account and more. These are your tools to conduct official business with the University – apply for SC residency, accept financial aid offers, apply for housing, sign up for orientation, communicate with faculty, etc.
  • See how to set up usernames and passwords
2). Submit Your Deposit and Confirm Enrollment
  • Log into Self Service Carolina to submit your deposit and secure your place in the class.
3). Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
  • Early submission of your FAFSA can be crucial. You should apply as soon as possible to receive consideration for financial aid. The new FAFSA is available (www.fafsa.gov) each year on January 1. The USC Aiken financial aid school code is 003449. Students entering USC Aiken for the Fall semester will receive their financial aid offer (assuming FAFSA has been submitted and approved) online via Self Service Carolina beginning in early April.
  • For more information, go to Financial Aid
4). Sign up for Orientation
  • View orientation information
  • Register for orientation
5). Apply for Housing
  • Submit your online application and $150 application fee/deposit
6). Citizenship and Residency
  • If you wish to claim SC in-state residency for tuition and state scholarship purposes, please do so by logging in to your SSC account and completing the “South Carolina Residency Certification” process (button at the top right of the SSC Student tab). The certification process also includes Richmond or Columbia County, Georgia citizens applying for in-state tuition rates at USC Aiken.
  • Verify your citizenship (if you have not submitted the FAFSA)
7). Return Immunization Form
  • We need proof – doctor's signature or copy – that the student has had their measles, mumps, and rubella two shot series. International students from many countries must also provide proof of tuberculosis screening. Further information about this requirement is included on the immunization form. Students planning to live on campus will also need to provide proof of vaccination for meningitis.
  • Find out more about immunization requirements
  • Download Immunization Form
8). Complete Mandatory Campus Clarity Program
  • Access Campus Clarity Training
9). See which initial mathematics course you should take
  • Most students are now exempt from taking the Mathematics Placement Test; math placement is based on submitted ACT or SAT scores.
  • See which course you should take, based on your score
  • See if you meet other exemptions
  • See test instructions and take the Math Placement Test
10). Have AP/IB/other placement test scores sent to USC Aiken
  • USC Aiken's school code is 5840.
  • Accepted scores for course credits.
11). Send transcripts
  • Have your official final high school or college transcript sent to USC Aiken Office of Admissions once you graduate or complete your final semester.
12). Attend Orientation, Register for classes
