All freshman and transfer students are provided an orientation through the Student Orientation Program. Orientation is a coordinated effort aimed at providing an introduction to Carolina and its academic and social components. During Orientation, students take placement tests, meet with academic advisors, and register for classes. We work closely with the Orientation staff to assist in making arrangements for students with disability related concerns. A schedule of orientation program dates will be sent to you by mail at which time you should register for a specific session and call us if special arrangements need to be made. For further information, contact the Orientation Program Office at (803) 777-2780.
