Welcome to the University of South Carolina!

The Office of Orientation and Testing Services offers programs to help new and current students and their families make the most of their Carolina experience.  We also serve the University faculty and staff and the surrounding community in a number of ways.

ORIENTATION

Each new undergraduate student is expected to attend one of our one-day Orientation sessions.  All of our Orientation programs are designed to assist you with the transition to University life.  At Orientation, new students will meet with an academic advisor, register for classes, receive the CarolinaCard student ID, and learn about campus resources, University services, and University expectations.  Your Orientation session will be led by University administrators with the assistance of qualified student leaders who will answer your questions and help guide you into your first semester.  Although you will visit various areas of campus associated with your field of study, a comprehensive tour is not part of the Orientation day; if you’d like a guided campus tour, you can schedule one with the Visitor Center.

TESTING

In addition to administering placement tests for new students, our office opens its doors to the public in order to offer a range of other tests including computerized graduate admission exams (e.g. GRE or Miller Analogies), as well as various certification and correspondence exams.  Proctoring services are also available.

NEWS AND NOTES

GRE, MAT, or PRAXIS I exams are administered weekly.  Click here  to register now, or for more information.
