INTRODUCTION TO THE CURRICULA Biology is the study of all aspects of life. Biologists study structure and function from the level of molecules and cells up to that of whole organisms. They also study the behavior and interaction of organisms from the level of populations up to that of ecosystems. The goal of the various curricula is to explore the descriptive, structural, functional and evolutionary questions through this hierarchy of the organization of life. Biologists also study applications of basic biology to medicine, conservation, agriculture and many other areas. A second goal of these curricula is to explore how current advances in biology apply to the health and well being of man and society and to the continuation of earth as a balanced ecosystem. A third goal is to help produce informed citizens who can contribute to the dialog involving the many ethical, social and political issues that have biological context or consequences.

In addition to these themes, woven throughout the curriculum will be an emphasis on the importance and use of communication, modern information technology, and mathematics. All students will start the development of these skills in the introductory courses, including the initiation of an e-portfolio (personal web site) to be maintained throughout all four years and evaluated in a senior capstone (seminar) course. Mathematics and modeling skills relevant to biologists will be introduced in a special calculus course. A technical writing class designed for biologists will enhance the scientific writing skills of students over and above the experiences gained in the writing of traditional lab reports and papers.

Students are encouraged to undertake research projects with faculty, and students enrolled in the honors program are required to do so with the end result being an honor’s thesis. Research may be performed through individually mentored projects with any faculty conducting biological research regardless of their department. In addition, our department offers a series of creative inquiry (team research) projects each semester. Students are also encouraged to have experience away from Clemson. These experiences might include study abroad programs, internships, or participation in an REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program sponsored by the National Science Foundation at many universities.

B.S. and B.A. Biological Sciences (BIOSC). Both the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in Biological Sciences cover the spectrum of biological organization through classroom, laboratory and fieldwork. The B.S. is a more comprehensive degree and is preferred for those who will continue in graduate programs. The B.A. provides a strong foundation in biology and is ideal for students desiring a more liberal education. They are both excellent courses of study for those who wish to enter professional school. They both require coursework in calculus, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, evolutionary biology and plant and animal diversity. They also both require that students take courses in the areas of physiology, cell biology, and ecology. The major distinctions between the two degrees include additional major course requirements for the B.S. while the B.A. requires four semesters of a foreign language (or its equivalent) and a minor. (See page 28 for a comparison of the B.S. and B.A. degrees)

Entomology Emphasis in Biological Sciences. Entomology is the biological discipline devoted to the study of insects. Insects are by far the largest animal group and can be found in virtually every habitat on Earth. They are significant as transmitters of human and other animal disease, as pests on crops and other plants and are vital to the stability of the ecosystem.

The Entomology Emphasis of the B.S. degree is distinct from the standard B.S. in Biological Sciences in that an insect diversity course substitutes for the normal animal diversity course, there are specific requirements for insect morphology and taxonomy plus additional course work in entomology to be selected from a defined list. Comparative physiology is recommended to fulfill the physiology requirement of the major. In addition, many Entomology courses are cross-listed in Biological Sciences allowing any student to receive credit in their major for courses about insect science.

Prepharmacy Emphasis in Biological Sciences. This curriculum is suited for students who want to receive a baccalaureate degree before applying to a college of pharmacy.

4

The prepharmacy emphasis of the B.S. degree is distinct from the standard B.S. in Biological Sciences in that specific courses in human anatomy, animal physiology, microbiology, chemistry, and economics are required.

Prerehabilitation Sciences Emphasis in Biological Sciences. This curriculum is suited for students who want to receive a baccalaureate degree before applying to a rehabilitation sciences program. Prerehabilitation sciences include physical therapy, occupational therapy, communication sciences and disorders, physician assisting, and allied health areas. This curriculum is designed to meet the requirements of these programs in the College of Health Professions at the Medical University of South Carolina and other professional schools

The Prerehabilitation sciences emphasis area is distinct from the standard B.A. in Biological Sciences in that specific courses in human anatomy and physiology and the American Heart Association Basic Life Support for Health Professionals certification are required. Depending on the graduate program sought, other recommendations include particular courses in exercise physiology, foreign languages, health sciences, and mathematics, microbiology, movement science, with psychology as the minor recommendation.

Quantitative Biology Emphasis Area in Biological Sciences. Mathematics has always been a tool of biologists, but in the “informatics” age, quantitative approaches are more important than ever. This emphasis area reinforces the BS in Biological Sciences with courses in mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and bioinformatics.

First, students take two calculus courses, the second of which is oriented towards mathematical modeling. This is followed by a course in modeling applications of partial differential equations, which can analyze rates of change in space as well as in time. Next, two statistics courses give the student a firm understanding of statistical principles and experimental design. An introduction to bioinformatics explores how online molecular databases can identify unknown molecules by comparison to known ones, predict the location of genes, and study how genomes evolve. Finally, a summary course reviews use of quantitative techniques in biology, and the student does a capstone research project on a current quantitative biology topic.

Toxicology Emphasis in Biological Sciences. Toxicology is the scientific study of the adverse effects of drugs, chemicals in the environment, and other agents foreign to the body. Toxicologists study the absorption and distribution of the foreign substance in the body, how the body metabolizes and eliminates these substances, and the mechanisms of action of these substances. Environmental toxicology is the study of the decomposition, fate and effects of contaminants in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

The toxicology emphasis area is distinct from the standard B.S. in Biological Sciences in that an introductory and advanced toxicology course, a quantitative analysis course with the lab, an environmental chemistry course and an additional toxicology course are required. In addition, one of the animal physiology courses is recommended to fulfill the physiology requirement of the major.

Double Major in Biological Sciences/Secondary Education. The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biological Sciences and Secondary Education–Biological Sciences prepares students for teaching biology on the secondary school level and for graduate studies in any of the life science areas.

B.S. Microbiology (MICRO). Microbiology deals with the study of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, filamentous fungi, protozoa and unicellular algae. Microbes are significant not only for their role in infectious disease, but are essential for nutrient recycling in the ecosystem, in which they make up the majority of the biomass. Bacteria are commonly used in industry and in bioremediation of contaminated environmental sites. Both the standard MICRO and the Biomedicine Concentration curricula are excellent courses of study for graduate or professional school. Both require courses in calculus, physics, chemistry including organic, and biochemistry. Both also require microbial diversity and ecology, pathogenic microbiology, microbial genetics and bacterial physiology as recommended by the American Society for Microbiology. The standard degree requires a course from a select list in each of the areas of the following areas: (1) biomedicine, (2) environmental microbiology, (3) food safety, industrial and technology, and (4) virology.

5

B.S. Microbiology - Biomedicine Concentration. The Biomedicine Concentration is especially suited for students planning postgraduate programs in medicine. It allows for functional human anatomy in place of one semester of introductory biology and requires courses in genetics, cell biology, immunology, virology and carcinogenesis and aging. In addition, the concentration requires additional biomedical courses from a select list.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES The Biological Sciences and Microbiology curricula have sufficient flexibility to enable the major to obtain coursework relevant to his or her future plans. The programs are designed to expose the student to a wide variety of biological areas. Furthermore, the background obtained by Biological Sciences and Microbiology majors enables them to better understand and relate to the modern world with its complex problems, many of which are biological in nature.

Job opportunities exist in both the academic and non-academic communities. For Biological Sciences and Microbiology majors who enter graduate school and obtain advanced degrees, jobs are available to teach in colleges and universities, as well as research and management opportunities in government and industry. Many biologists and microbiologists, some with a B.A. or B.S. degree, are employed by industry, environmental engineers and consulting firms. City, state and federal agencies are prime employers of biologists and microbiologists.

Career opportunities in biology are exciting and often adventurous. Jobs with universities, state and federal government agencies, the military and private businesses often include a chance to travel and explore exotic regions of the world.

A variety of career objectives is outlined in a Carolina Tips® publication entitled “Biology Careers for the Next Century” written by John A. Snyder. This information is available on-line at http://myweb.nutn.edu.tw/~hycheng/8TeaBank/Ecology2005/BiologyCareers.pdf. Additional career information for microbiology majors is available at http://www.microbiologycareers.org/

Employment. In the Southeast, jobs are available at agencies such as the Energy Research and Development Administration's (ERDA) Savannah River Ecology Lab at Aiken, SC (SREL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (TN), Tennessee Valley Authority in Tennessee and North Carolina, Yerkes Primate Center in Atlanta, the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Agriculture, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, and many zoos and zoological parks, to list only a few. A more extensive list of potential job opportunities for biologists is as follows:

Technician (laboratory/field) in a research laboratory at a University, U.S. Forest Service, industries dependent upon microbiology (e.g., food, fermentation, public health, pharmaceuticals, environmental consulting), Home Land Security, National Park Service, State Park Service, Environmental Protection Agency, both state and federal levels, State Public Health Department (e.g., SC DHEC), sales with a pharmaceutical biotech, or chemical company, underwriter for an insurance company, field/laboratory researcher for a large company/industry that has the potential for pollution of the environment (e.g., Duke Power, Dow Chemical Co., DHEC), genetic counseling, law enforcement (e.g., use of genetics background for DNA finger-printing), scientific illustrator, writer/editor for a popular science publication (e.g., Discover magazine), assistant to an Editor for a scientific journal (e.g., Science), environmental consulting firms, eco-tourism (in tropical countries as a naturalist), Disney World/Land, botanical gardens (e.g., Callaway Gardens), museums (e.g., Smithsonian Institution), zoos (e.g., Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC), optometry, chiropractics, and forensics.

Graduate Programs. In addition to job opportunities immediately upon graduation, the Biological Sciences and Microbiology degrees prepare students for admission into a wide variety of graduate programs in biology, botany, microbiology, and zoology. With a careful selection of courses in allied fields or an emphasis area, a student can prepare for more specialized programs in areas such as environmental toxicology, bioengineering, environmental sciences, animal sciences, physiology, ecology, zoology (e.g., ornithology, mammalogy, parasitology, herpetology), biophysics, biomathematics, agronomy, plant pathology, entomology, biochemistry, genetics, pharmacology, ecology, horticulture, molecular biology, cell biology, evolution, marine biology, aquaculture, wildlife

biology and others. The student’s faculty advisor can suggest courses relevant to the student’s particular interests and objectives. Upon focusing on an area of study, the student is advised to check the requirements for specific graduate programs at various institutions that he/she might like to attend.

Professional Programs. Doctors, physician assistants, pharmacists, physical therapists and veterinarians are biologists. Some of these health care professionals work directly with patients, while others are involved in the rapidly advancing frontiers of medical research. In both cases, a degree in Biological Sciences or Microbiology is excellent preparation for professional school in the health sciences. In fact, Biological Sciences is the most popular major at Clemson University for students with an interest in human medicine and health care and is one of two majors most commonly selected by students wishing to apply for admission into a school of veterinary medicine.

Science Education – Secondary Education A trend at the national level is for students who desire to teach biology in middle (grades 5 – 8) or high schools (grades 9 – 12) to major in the discipline (e.g., Biological Sciences) and to complete courses required for certification as electives or a minor. Double Major in Biological Sciences/Secondary Education. The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biological Sciences and Secondary Education–Biological Sciences prepares students for teaching biology on the secondary school level and for graduate studies in any of the life science areas. In addition, The Eugene T. Moore School of Education offers the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Secondary Science or Secondary Mathematics that leads to teacher certification. (http://www.clemson.edu/hehd/departments/education/academics/graduate/MAT/secondary.html) The Master of Arts in Teaching in Secondary Science or Secondary Mathematics is a 39-semester-hour program that can be completed in 13 months and is offered in the Greenville area. It consists of online and face-to-face instruction and more than 100 hours of field experience prior to student teaching. The MAT program is a technologically rich program in which students master the fundamentals of teaching and become skilled at motivating and helping students learn either science or mathematics at deep levels. The program addresses content directly related to the secondary classroom, educational foundations and specific teaching methods that reflect current research in the field. The program also provides the courses required for initial certification for grades 9-12 in South Carolina. The program is geared primarily toward adults with a background in science, mathematics or a related discipline that wish to change careers and enter the teaching field. Clemson University is proud to offer the National Science Foundation-funded TigersTeach Noyce Scholarship to qualified individuals. Eligible applicants entering the MAT for Secondary Science and Mathematics program can receive up to $10,000. Those interested in applying for a scholarship should contact Leigh Haltiwanger, program coordinator, to determine eligibility and admissions procedures prior to submitting an application for the MAT program. Click here for additional information regarding the Noyce Scholarship. The optimal entry point into the MAT program is during the Summer I term with a projected graduation the following summer. The program application deadline is April 1. To be considered for admission, individuals must complete the following requirements: • Complete the online application to the Clemson University Graduate School. To ensure full

II. Graduate School The Biological Sciences and Microbiology curricula are designed for students whose career goals require advanced study in basic biological disciplines. The core requirements of the Biological Sciences B.S. and B.A degrees in conjunction with appropriate optional major courses can provide an excellent preparation for advanced study in botany, cell biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, genetics, immunology, marine biology or zoology. Similarly, the B.S. degrees in Microbiology can provide excellent preparation for advanced study in cell and molecular biology, immunology and all areas of microbiology. Your advisor will be the best source of advice about graduate school. Graduate programs typically require from 2 to 5 years of post-graduate study and lead to the M.S. (Master of Science) or Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy). Most schools have admission requirements that include a baccalaureate degree (B.A. or B.S.), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a letter of intent. Enrollment in BIOSC or MICRO 491 (Special Problems) with a faculty member whose research is in the field of the student’s intended research is recommended.

Physiological Psychology PSYCH 324 Abnormal Psychology PSYCH 383 Excerpts from South Carolina Medical Schools Medical University of South Carolina (Columbia) - Preference is given to applicants who have completed four years of college and earned a baccalaureate degree. There are no specific course requirements but the MCAT is required and students who wish to do well on the examination should consider studying college courses in introductory biology, chemistry, physics and organic chemistry prior to taking the MCAT. Students are advised to construct courses of study that are intellectually interesting and challenging for them individually. Any education that engenders curiosity and enthusiasm for learning is desirable. University of South Carolina School of Medicine - Members of the Admissions Committee recognize that they are selecting future physicians. The admissions process is therefore an effort to select applicants who possess the individual characteristics required for both the study and the practice of medicine. Two semesters of English, Math, Introductory Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Organic are required as is the MCAT. All science courses must include laboratory. For most students, a strong preparation in the natural sciences is the best basis for the study and understanding of medical sciences. For this reason, the Admissions Committee recommends that students take more than the minimum requirements in the natural science.

CALHOUN HONORS COLLEGE (http://www.clemson.edu/cuhonors/)

Admission to the Calhoun Honors College is by on-line application. To be considered for admission to the Honors College, applicants must: (1) be in the top ten percent of their high school class, and (2) have an SAT score (combined critical reading and math) of at least 1320 or an ACT score of 30. In exceptional situations we will consider applications from students who do not fully meet these qualifications. However, please keep in mind that admission to the Honors College is highly selective. Typically, accepted students have SAT scores of 1400 or higher and rank in the top three percent of their high school class. Freshman enrollment in the Honors College is limited to approximately 250. In addition to the application submitted by the student, we require submission of a transcript (unofficial photocopies are acceptable), plus two electronically submitted letters of recommendation, one from the student’s high school guidance counselor and one from a teacher. Instructions for submitting these materials are provided in the application. Current Clemson University non-honors students can apply to join the Calhoun Honors College in the fall or spring semester if they have a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 as a full-time student at Clemson, and have at least four semesters remaining to complete their undergraduate degree. University Honors Program: This pathway is for students who are very focused. Often, these are students who have known at an early age what they want to study in college and the particular career they wish to enter upon graduation. This is the traditional Honors curriculum at Clemson, providing stimulation and challenge in honors courses satisfying General Education requirements (General Honors) and, in the junior and senior years, in-depth study and research in the student’s major field (Departmental Honors). General Honors. The main purpose of General Honors is to broaden the student's intellectual perspectives. To this end, students are encouraged to take honors courses in as many different areas of study as possible. Most of the courses you will take for General Honors are 100-200 level courses that satisfy the University's General Education requirements or serve as introductory courses in your major. It is permissible for 300-400 level courses to be taken for General Honors; however, 100- and 200-level honors courses may not be applied toward the requirements of Departmental Honors, nor may a 300-400 level course count for both General Honors and Departmental Honors. Typically, students take most of their General Honors courses during the freshman and sophomore years, although many students enroll in General Honors courses as juniors and seniors. To view a schedule of Clemson's honors courses that are offered each semester, visit http://soc.clemson.edu/. Members of the Calhoun Honors Program are required to take and complete at least one honors course each fall and spring semester. To be awarded General Honors, the following requirements (effective Fall 2007) must be satisfied: 1) Completion of a minimum of six honors courses of no less than three credits each distributed as

follows: a) At least one course from three or more groups (see below); b) At least one course in three or more subjects (e.g., ENGL, MTHSC).

2) A cumulative GPR of 3.40 or higher on all coursework taken at Clemson (non-honors as well as honors courses).

3) A grade of A or B in all courses taken to fulfill the requirements of General Honors. 4) Completion of all university requirements for graduation.

Courses taken for Departmental Honors may not also count for General Honors requirements. The Department of Biological Sciences offers a Senior Departmental Honors program in Biological Sciences and Microbiology for qualified majors (grade point ratio of 3.4 or better as designated by Calhoun College) who have demonstrated outstanding ability in the biological sciences. To graduate with Senior Departmental Honors in Biological Sciences or Microbiology, the student must complete at least 12 hours of designated honors courses with a minimum grade of B in each course. Included in the required 12 semester hours will be at least 6 hours of independent research, BIOSC or MICRO H491 or H494, taken under a single research advisor over two semesters. Research results from BIOSC H491 will be written as a thesis in a style appropriate for publication and presented in a public forum at a scientific meeting or to the Biological Sciences faculty. Courses taken for Departmental Honors may not also count for General Honors requirements. Honors Contracts. On a limited basis, students may earn honors credit for a 300- or 400-level course by means of an Honors Contract. The purpose of such contracts is to enable students to experience the educational enrichment that typifies honors courses, and to explore topics in greater depth than is normally possible in a regular undergraduate course. Contact the Honors Office for details.

SENIOR ENROLLMENT IN GRADUATE COURSES

Enrollment of Clemson University seniors in any graduate course is subject to approval by the department offering the course and the Graduate School. This approval is required prior to registration. Approval forms are available from the Graduate School Office in E-106 Martin Hall or at http://www.grad.clemson.edu/forms/GeneralForms.php. The total course workload for the semester must not exceed 18 hours, and the cumulative graduate credits earned by seniors shall not exceed 12 semester hours. Seniors with a cumulative grade-point ratio of 3.0 or higher may enroll in 700- and/or 800-level courses and may choose to use these courses to meet requirements for the bachelor's degree. However, courses used for this purpose may not be counted later toward an advanced degree. Alternatively, such students may take 600-, 700-, or 800-level courses in excess of the requirements for their undergraduate degrees and may request that these courses be included as a part of their graduate program if they are subsequently admitted to the Graduate School at Clemson. Courses cannot be taken at the 600-level if their 300- and 400-level counterparts are required for the undergraduate degree in the same academic major as the proposed graduate degree. A Clemson senior with a cumulative grade-point ratio less than 3.0 may apply to the Graduate School for conditional acceptance. If accepted, the student may enroll in graduate courses for inclusion in a future graduate program, subject to approval of Form GS6. The form must be turned in and accepted by the Graduate School before a student can register for graduate courses. In all cases, the credits and quality points associated with senior enrollment in graduate courses will be part of the undergraduate record [see Undergraduate Announcements 2011-2012, p. 27].

COMBINED BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES/MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOENGINEERING

(Revised 3/30/12)

Biological Sciences undergraduates at Clemson University may begin a Master of Science (MS) degree in Bioengineering while completing their Bachelor of Science (BS) degree by using a limited number of courses to satisfy both degrees. The following specific requirements apply:

36

1. To be eligible for this plan (to file GS6BS/MS form), students must have completed their bachelor’s curriculum through their junior year (minimum 90 credits) and have a minimum overall grade point ratio of 3.4. Note: The GRE requirement for admissions is eliminated for students with approved GS6BS/MS forms.

2. Students should select the PHYS 122, 124 and PHYS 221, 223 options to fulfill the physics requirement for their BS degree.

3. Students will be required to take the following courses (a-d) as undergraduates: a. Calculus of Several Variables (MTHSC 206, 4 credits) and Intro to Ordinary Differential

Equations (MTHSC 208, 4 credits) b. Statics (C E 201, 3 credits) c. Introduction to Materials Science (MS&E 210, 3 credits) or Introductory Circuit (ECE 307, 3

credits) d. An additional junior-level engineering course: e.g., Biomechanics (BIOE 320), Biofluid

Mechanics (BIOE 321) Bioinstrumentation (BIOE 370), Thermodynamics of Materials (MS&E 326), Transport Phenomena (MS&E 327), Mechanical Behavior of Materials (MS&E 422)

4. Up to 6 credit hours of 600 level elective courses from BIOE, BIOSC or BIOCH may be used to satisfy both the BS and MS requirements. However, the core requirement courses for the BIOSC BS degree (e.g., BIOSC 461/661, Cell Biology) cannot be counted twice for both degrees. Biotechnology for Bioengineers (BIOE 640) is recommended. For other courses, see advisor.

5. Students will most often enroll into the non-thesis MS program. Students may take the MS thesis option if they are able to arrange for a faculty member in either Biological Sciences or Bioengineering to be their thesis advisor for a defined research project. Those who intend to follow the thesis option may start their research as BIOSC 491 during their junior year and continue under this during their senior year. Beginning in the summer after their senior year students will enroll in BIO E 891(6 credits total required) for thesis option or BIO E 892 (6 credits total required) for a non-thesis option. The intended outcome for the thesis student is publishable experimental research. The intended outcome for the non-thesis student is a paper based on library or limited laboratory work or both. Both types of students will undergo an oral exam in which they defend their project work and are tested on relevant general knowledge of biology and bioengineering.

6. As part of the graduate program students will be required to take Seminar in Bioengineering Research (BIO E 800, 1 credit each semester – only 1 credit counted towards degree requirements), Research Principles (BIO E 615, 1 credit), Biomaterials (BIO E 801, 3 credits); Biomedical Basis for Engineered Replacement (BIO E 846, 3 credits), and one of the following three courses: Structural Biomechanics (BIO E 820, 3 credits), Transport Processes in Bioengineering (BIO E 847, 4 credits), or Bioinstrumentation (BIO E 870, 3 credits). During the summer following their senior year students will enroll in Statistical Methods I (EX ST 801, 4 credits). These courses with an additional elective (600- or 800-level BIO E or BIOSC, 2-3credit) course will fully satisfy the total of 30 credits required for the thesis option. Non-thesis students will need to take additional 5-6 credit hours as necessary to meet the 33 credits required; course selection to satisfy these additional credit hours should be made in consultation with the student’s research advisor.

7. Students in a combined degree program are conditionally accepted to the graduate program until completion of the BS degree requirements. Students enrolled in the MS degree program should anticipate covering the full amount of tuition, fees, and living expenses for their MS degree. Under special circumstances, research assistantship support for MS thesis projects may be available from individual faculty members or teaching assistantship support from the Department of Biological Sciences.

Students interested in this combined BS/MS degree program should consult with their undergraduate advisor as early as possible in their undergraduate curriculum. Application should be made by the end of their junior year, but can be made at any time so long as the requirements for the program are met. Application is through the regular Graduate School process.

FINANCIAL AID The Financial Aid Office at Clemson University administers and/or coordinates various types of undergraduate financial aid, which includes scholarships, loans, grants, and part-time employment. One such program that has been of significant benefit to both faculty and students in the Department of Biological Sciences is the College Work-Study Program. For most types of financial assistance, application must be made to the Financial Aid Office beginning in December each year for assistance the next academic year; however, the deadline for application for the College Work-Study Program routinely has been April 1. For more information, students are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office or visit their web site at http://www.clemson.edu/finaid/.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAMS LIFE (Legislative Incentives for Future Excellence) Scholarships. The LIFE Scholarship is a renewable scholarship for residents of South Carolina who are enrolled full-time. Awards are made automatically; no scholarship application is required. The LIFE Scholarship award amount is determined annually by the South Carolina General Assembly. Currently, the maximum value is $5,000 ($4,700 related to tuition plus $300 based on the costs of textbooks). Eligibility Requirements for Continuing Students

• Must meet all general eligibility requirements (http://www.clemson.edu/financial-aid/types/scholarships/life.html)

• Earn an average of 30 credit hours per academic year (Fall, Spring, Summer). A total of 30 hours is required for a rising second year student, 60 for a rising third year student and 90 for a rising fourth year student.

• Any credit hours earned before high school graduation, hours exempted by examination and advance placement credit approved by Clemson University will be used toward the credit hour requirement. Duplicate credit courses do not count in the total.

• Earn a minimum cumulative LIFE GPR of at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale by the end of the academic year. The LIFE GPR must include all grades earned at Clemson University plus all grades attempted (excluding remedial) at all other institutions, both in state and out-of-state.

• If you have earned a 3.0 LIFE GPR after the spring semester and choose to enroll in summer school at Clemson or any other institution, you will NOT be eligible for the LIFE Scholarship if your LIFE GPR falls below a 3.0 at the end of summer school.

The LIFE GPR is used for determining eligibility for the LIFE Scholarship only. It is distinctively different from your cumulative Clemson GPR that is used for graduation purposes and the awarding of other merit-based scholarships. Eligibility Requirements for Transfer Students

• Must meet all general eligibility requirements • Eligibility for the first year at Clemson is based on your initial college enrollment and the

cumulative GPR and hours earned (non-remedial) all your previous institution(s). This will include both in-state and out-of-state institutions.

• After your first year at Clemson, all of the requirements for continuing students (above) will apply.

Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Program. The Palmetto Fellows Scholarship offers up to $6,700 in renewable scholarship assistance to entering freshmen. The South Carolina Commission on Higher

42

Education (CHE) makes selection and initial notification. Application is made during the senior year of high school through the high school guidance office. Initial eligibility requirements are at http://www.clemson.edu/financial-aid/life-enhanced.html. Renewal Eligibility Requirements

• Must earn a total of 30 credit hours each academic year (fall, spring, summer). Any hours earned prior to high school graduation, hours exempted by examination and advanced placement credit do not count towards the 30-hour requirement.

• You must maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPR on all courses taken at Clemson. Courses taken at other institution will not effect the grade point ratio requirement for Palmetto Fellows.

• If you do not meet the above criteria at the end of the spring semester, your Palmetto Fellows award will be withdrawn. If you make up the deficiency during summer school, please notify us and the award will be reinstated.

• Course work taken at other institutions and accepted for credit by Clemson University can be used to satisfy the 30 credit hour requirement.

• If you have a cumulative 3.0 GPR at Clemson at the end of the spring semester and choose to attend summer school at Clemson, you will NOT be eligible for Palmetto Fellows if your cumulative GPR drops below a 3.0 at the conclusion of summer school.

Hope Scholarship Program. The HOPE Scholarship is a nonrenewable, two semesters scholarship for entering freshmen that achieve academically but are not eligible for the LIFE Scholarship. The value of the Hope Scholarship is $2,800 for the year. Initial eligibility requirements are at http://www.clemson.edu/financial-aid/types/scholarships/hope.html. After the first year, eligibility may be established for the LIFE Scholarship. Enhanced LIFE Scholarship and Palmetto Fellows Scholarship. BIOSC and MICRO majors may qualify for an additional financial aid stipend beginning with their sophomore years. Basic eligibility requirements for the enhanced awards are as follows: LIFE Scholarship

• Recipients with over 30 hours, and who, as a freshman, earned 14 hours worth of math or life science or physical sciences in any combination and who are math and science majors will receive an additional amount of up to $2,500 for a maximum of $7,500.

• Entering freshmen, regardless of major, and upperclassmen who do not meet the above conditions, will receive a maximum award of $5,000.

Palmetto Fellows • Recipients with at least 30 hours, and who, as a freshman, earned 14 hours worth of math or

life science or physical sciences in any combination and who are math and science majors will receive an additional amount of up to $3,300 for a maximum of $10,000.

• Palmetto Fellows with at least 30 hours, but do not meet the conditions above, will receive an additional amount of up to $800 for a maximum of $7,500.

• Entering freshmen, regardless of major, will receive a maximum of $6,700.

ACADEMIC REDEMPTION POLICY The Academic Redemption Policy (ARP) allows an undergraduate student to retake up to nine or ten semester hours in which a D or F was previously earned if he/she has sufficient W hours remaining. Students whose initial enrollment occurs August 2007 or later may redeem up to ten credit hours. In all cases, the grade earned in the course used to redeem the earlier course will be used in computing the grade-point ratio and satisfying degree requirements. When the earlier grade is D and the second grade is F, the student cannot use the D grade to satisfy any degree requirement. The following conditions apply: Courses taken prior to fall semester 2003 may not be considered for academic redemption. For students with sufficient W hours, the first ten hours of repeated coursework (nine hours for those enrolled before August 2007) will automatically be computed for academic redemption, and these hours will be deducted from the student’s allotted W hours. If sufficient W hours are not available, the ARP will not apply. Both grades will remain on the transcript, degree progress report, and other official documents. For financial aid purposes, courses

43

repeated under this policy resulting in duplicate credit do not count for satisfactory academic progress. If a student drops a repeated course during the period in which the Academic Calendar indicates a W grade is assigned, then both the ARP hours and W hours will be subtracted from the student’s remaining ARP and W hours. The ARP shall apply only to courses taken at Clemson University. The earlier course graded D or F can only be redeemed by repeating the same course. Course substitutions are not permitted. Students may not invoke the ARP after they have graduated. After graduation, students may repeat coursework, but both grades will be calculated in the grade-point ratio. The ARP may not be applied to a course taken on a Pass/Fail basis or to any course in which the student was previously found in violation of the academic integrity policy.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND DO BEFORE WITHDRAWING FROM A CLASS Before withdrawing from any class, do the following, in this order:

1. Go to Financial Aid in G-01 Sikes (if you have scholarships or loans). • Ask about the conditions of your scholarships or loans. • Get the facts in writing. • Write down the name of the person you speak with there.

2. Make an appointment to see your academic advisor in person. 3. Your academic advisor will:

• Ask your reasons for wanting to withdraw from the class. • Discuss the pros and cons of withdrawing (including):

• Implications for your GPR (keeping vs. dropping the class) • Academic Redemption Policy options • Scholarship implications • Medical insurance implications (you need to research this) • Car insurance implications (you need to research this) • Map out a course plan for subsequent semesters (including the possibility of

attending summer school) • Direct you to Financial Aid (G-01 Sikes) if you have not been there yet • Tell you to discuss all of this with your family before dropping

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS A candidate for an undergraduate degree is a student who has submitted a completed diploma application by the deadline prescribed in the University calendar for a particular graduation date. Candidates for degrees are required to apply for their diplomas within three weeks following the opening of the final semester or the opening of the first summer session prior to the date the degrees are to be awarded. Applications must be submitted through SISweb at tigerweb.clemson.edu. Only candidates who have completed all graduation requirements are permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony.
