Mandatory Orientation Fee

All new students are assessed a one-time mandatory orientation fee in their first semester of enrollment, in addition to tuition charges and other fees. The mandatory orientation fee is separate from the orientation session fee and covers special services and programs for new students, including fall welcome activities, Discover ’SC, extended orientation events and university publications. This fee is included in the estimated cost of attendance that the Financial Aid Office uses to determine financial aid eligibility. It is not refundable. Please do not include this fee with your orientation session fee payment.

Fees are based on the following:

• Undergraduate students: $150
• Graduate students: $35

Students in the following graduate and professional programs pay a $5 Mandatory Orientation Fee to cover the cost of SCampus, the student handbook:

• Marshall School of Business
• Levanthal School of Accounting
• Gould School of Law
• School of Dentistry

You may pick up your copy of SCampus from your department or at the Orientation Programs Office.
