Military or Veteran Students
We know military and veteran students often have specific questions and concerns about their academic plan as they transition into college life. Reference the Active Duty and Military In-Processing Flowchart (PDF) to connect yourself to the appropriate person and key information to get started.
Students with Disabilities
The College of Charleston has services dedicated to serving students with a documented disability to ensure equal access at the College. It is important for students to begin the documentation process after you commit to enroll so that any related individualized accommodations can be communicated to you. Access information about the Center for Disability Services (SNAP) now to learn more details and additional resources.
Adult Students
Adult students have a unique set of circumstances. In most cases you may be balancing a family and a career alongside your desire to start or complete your degree. You are encouraged to think about how you can prioritize your education alongside your other responsibilities. Think about whether an in-class experience is a better setting for you or whether you should consider online course work. You must also think about the finances associated with attending the College of Charleston.
Currently the College of Charleston does not offer academic credit for work experience. If you plan to start your degree, visit the Programs of Study at the College of Charleston to confirm we offer what you desire. Next, contact Admissions.
If you plan to complete your degree and have taken courses elsewhere, visit our Transfer Student section. You may also want to consider our degree completion program, Bachelors of Professional Studies, which is featured in this article.
If you plan to simply take some courses, visit the Non-Degree Programs information.
