Welcome to the 2016-17 Bridge to Clemson program! The purpose of this Academic Guide is to facilitate your understanding of Tri-County/Clemson course equivalencies, Clemson general education requirements, Tri-County and Clemson academic policies, academic advising resources and student success services available to you during your Bridge year. Awareness of these requirements and policies and use of the resources and services will help you achieve your goals of enrolling at Clemson beginning in fall 2017 and making timely progress toward graduation. This Academic Guide contains important information pertaining to the following:

1. Tri-County courses that count toward meeting Bridge academic standards2. Tri-County mathematics course placement policies3. Tri-County courses that satisfy Clemson general education requirements 4. Clemson Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) credit

policies5. LIFE Scholarship eligibility requirements6. Contact information for Tri-County and Clemson academic advising and

student success resources

Before enrolling in any course, complete the following steps:1. Review and identify the freshman-year (and, in some cases, sophomore-year)

courses required for the Clemson academic program you plan to pursue as outlined in Clemson’s Undergraduate Announcements.

2. Determine whether any college-level credits you earned through AP, IB and/or dual enrollment will satisfy any course requirements for your intended academic program.

3. Review this Academic Guide to identify the equivalent Tri-County courses for the Clemson courses you are required to complete.

4. Review the Tri-County course descriptions in the Tri-County catalog to determine if there are any minimum COMPASS score requirements or any mandatory prerequisite courses for the Tri-County courses you need to complete to make progress in your intended Clemson academic program.

5. Ensure that each identified Tri-County course is 1) transferable and 2) satisfies a general education and/or degree program-specific requirement for your intended Clemson academic program.

For the most current list of transferable Tri-County courses and their corresponding

Clemson course equivalents, visit clemson.edu/admissions/undergraduate/transferring-credits/tcel.html. Any course denoted as “NCT” will not transfer to Clemson.

2016-17Student Academic Guide

For Tri-County/Clemson Course Equivalencies, Clemson General Education Requirements, LIFE Scholarship Requirements and

Tri-County/Clemson Academic Policies and Resources

With the exception of the nontransferable mathematics courses listed in the mathematics placement section, all of the courses listed in this Academic Guide transfer to Clemson. However, some transferable courses may not satisfy specific course requirements for a particular Clemson academic program. Furthermore, freshman-year course requirements vary by program. To make satisfactory progress toward completing the requirements for your intended academic program, you are strongly encouraged to enroll only in equivalent Tri-County courses appropriate for your intended Clemson program.

Becoming knowledgeable about Bridge academic standards and course equivalencies for your intended Clemson academic program is your responsibility. Please limit your enrollment to courses listed in this Academic Guide. With the exception of the two selected nontransferable LIFE Scholarship-eligible courses (MAT 101 and MAT 102 only), refrain from enrolling in courses that do not transfer to Clemson. Any credits and grades earned in nontransferable courses other than MAT 101 and MAT 102 will not count toward meeting the Bridge academic standards of earning 30 credits and a 2.5 GPA on those credits. Refer to the Bridge Student Handbook for specific details about the academic standards that you must meet to be admitted to Clemson.

2016-17 Clemson General Education Requirements

An undergraduate student whose enrollment in a curriculum occurs after May 15, 2005, must fulfill the general education requirements in effect at that time. If a student withdraws from the University and subsequently returns or does not remain continuously enrolled (summers excluded), the requirements in effect at the time of return will normally prevail. Any variation in curricular or general education requirements shall be considered under the curriculum year change or the substitution procedure.

Mission StatementAcademic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the intellectual and ethical development of students and the general well-being of society. Undergraduate students must be broadly educated and technically skilled to be informed and productive citizens. As citizens, they need to be able to think critically about significant issues. Students also need to be prepared to complete undergraduate work and a major course of study. The mission requires a high level of knowledge about and competence in the areas shown here.

General Education CompetenciesA. Arts and HumanitiesDemonstrate an ability to analyze and/or interpret the arts and humanities.

B. MathematicsDemonstrate mathematical literacy through solving problems, communicating concepts, reasoning mathematically and applying mathematical or statistical methods using multiple representations where applicable.

C. Natural SciencesDemonstrate the process of scientific reasoning by performing an experiment and thoroughly discussing the results with reference to the scientific literature or by studying questions through critical analysis of the evidence in the scientific literature.

D. Social SciencesDescribe and explain human actions using social science concepts and evidence.

E. Cross-Cultural AwarenessExplain how aspects of culture are integrated into a comprehensive worldview and then demonstrate how culture influences human behavior.

F. Science and Technology in SocietyDemonstrate an understanding of issues created by the complex interactions among science, technology and society.

G. Communication Effective oral and written communication is the means by which all competencies will be demonstrated.

H. Critical ThinkingDemonstrate the ability to assemble information relevant to a significant, complex issue, evaluate the quality and utility of the information and use the outcome of the analysis to reach a logical conclusion about the issue.

I. Ethical JudgmentDemonstrate an ability to identify, comprehend and deal with ethical problems and their ramifications in a systematic, thorough and responsible way.

REQUIREMENTS — 33 credit hours To meet general education competencies, 33 total credit hours are required, distributed as follows: I. General Education coursework — 31 credit hours and II. Distributed Coursework — 2 credit hours.

I. General Education Coursework: 31 hours required

LIFE Scholarship Eligibility Information

The LIFE Scholarship is a four-year scholarship that is awarded to eligible S.C. resident students for two terms (fall and spring) during each academic year (up to a maximum of eight terms over four years). Prior to the start of the fall semester, Tri-County’s financial aid office reviews all Bridge students to determine which students meet LIFE freshman-year eligibility requirements.

To be awarded the LIFE Scholarship for the second year of college, a first-year student must earn the following at the conclusion of the academic year (the academic year is defined as fall + spring + summer): 1. A minimum of 30 credit hours of eligible college-level

coursework 2. A minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA

To maintain LIFE eligibility for the third and fourth years of college, a student must earn the following:1. A minimum of 60 credit hours of college-level coursework

and 3.0 cumulative GPA by the conclusion of the second year in college

2. A minimum of 90 credit hours of college-level coursework and 3.0 cumulative GPA by the conclusion of the third year in college

Students are reviewed at the end of the spring term and summer term to determine their LIFE eligibility for the upcoming academic year. Students cannot gain or regain eligibility mid-year.

Calculation of Credit Hours and GPA To Determine LIFE EligibilityAny credit hours awarded to a student from 1) dual-enrollment coursework during high school; 2) AP/IB exam scores; 3) coursework completed during the academic year at Tri-County; 4) a Tri-County exemption examination; and 5) summer school coursework completed at any college or university after the Bridge year will be applied in the calculation of credit hours to determine a student’s LIFE eligibility.

An “all-college” GPA is calculated and used only for determining a student’s LIFE Scholarship eligibility. The all-college GPA is calculated by totaling all of the grade (quality) points a student earned in all college-level courses from all colleges attended and then dividing the cumulative number of credit hours attempted in all college-level courses from all colleges attended. All in-state and out-of-state college course grades, including those from dual-enrollment courses completed during high school, count in calculating the all-college GPA. Grades earned in remedial (with the exception of MAT 101 and MAT 102 only) and duplicate courses are not included in the LIFE GPA.

Credit hours and grades earned during the summer prior to the start of a new academic year are included in the LIFE GPA calculation to determine if a student is eligible for the LIFE Scholarship at the start of the new academic year.


LIFE Scholarship Enhancement The LIFE Scholarship Enhancement funds are available for eligible students during their second, third and fourth years of college. In order to receive the LIFE Enhancement, students must 1) have earned 14 credit hours of approved math and science coursework at the conclusion of their first year of college and 2) be enrolled in one of the approved math- and science-related academic programs. Please note that general engineering does not qualify as an approved program for the LIFE Enhancement. To become eligible for the LIFE Enhancement, general engineering students must complete all general engineering course requirements by the end of their first year of college and be accepted into one of the approved engineering programs. The approved LIFE Enhancement academic programs and Tri-County math and science courses satisfying the 14-credit-hour rule are listed on this page.
