As a graduate student at the University of South Carolina, there are a number of responsibilities, in addition to passing your classes! This page has been developed to give you access to the regulations and requirements of reaching your goal: a graduate degree. The Graduate School requires that you complete a Program of Study, in addition to other steps that must be taken as part of your degree program. We have tried to provide as much information as possible regarding standards and requirements that are enforced campus-wide. Your academic unit may require you to complete additional requirements before being allowed to graduate. Please be sure to contact them. It is your responsibility to see that all requirements are met.
