Policies and Procedures
The policies and procedures of the Graduate School are established to ensure a consistent set of standards from the admissions process all the way through to the awarding of degrees for every Graduate School program.
In general, you are subject to these policies when you first matriculate into your graduate program. Minor changes in policy that will not affect your progress toward a degree may be implemented immediately when it is determined to be in the best interest of students and/or the University, or if the changes are required by a legislative or regulatory body.
Please be aware that these are not the only policies and procedures that govern your time at Clemson. Your degree program or academic department has its own policies and deadlines, and there are university-wide handbooks and other policies.
