Academic Advising

Transfer Partnerships with SC Technical College System

The University of South Carolina and the South Carolina Techical College System have renewed their longstanding partnership to create Transfer Advising Guides (TAG).  These academic planning tools outline how coursework from a South Carolina Technical College transfers to USC and applies toward a designated degree program.  Each TAG includes recommended courses for the first 30 credit hours and identifies which courses will fulfill USC program requirements.  While students may transfer up to 60 credit hours with an associate degree (AA/AS) and earn junior academic standing, degree applicability beyond the initial 30 hours may vary by major.  Some courses may transfer as general elective credit.  Admissions to USC is subject to program specific GPA, course prerequisites, and space availability. 

Areas of Academic Interest

Transfer students can apply for the summer and fall terms only. Students must have at least 30 semester hours at the point of application. However, please note that admission into the Darla Moore School of Business is very competitive, and students who meet the minimum 3.25 GPA and calculus requirement are not guaranteed admission.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions carefully evaluates each application in consideration with the enrollment goals of the Darla Moore School of Business. In previous years, students below a 3.5 GPA were generally not competitive for admission. Transfer admission decisions for the Darla Moore School of Business will be made no earlier than mid-June after we evaluate the applicant pool and review all transcripts. Also, please note that students who have not completed the transfer equivalent of MATH 122 at the time of application will not be considered for admission into the Darla Moore School of Business.
