Participating Technical Colleges
The Non-Residential Bridge Program is open only to students from South Carolina technical colleges. Use our list of contacts to assist in the transition.
The university and technical colleges will identify and contact students who are eligible for the Non-Residential Bridge Program. Participating students will have access to a variety of services from the university's admissions and financial aid offices, the Career Center, and the Student Success Center.
Qualifying for the Non-Residential Bridge Program
Students who are recent high school graduates and first-time college attendees are ideal candidates for the Non-Residential Bridge Program. Before transferring to UofSC-Columbia, students generally will complete 30 credit hours at one of SC's Technical Colleges. The university also may identify other students who would benefit from the Non-Residential Bridge Program and its services.
Registering for the Non-Residential Bridge Program
Students who apply to the University of South Carolina and are eligible for the Non-Residential Bridge Program will receive information from Undergraduate Admissions. Students who do not apply to UofSC as incoming freshmen should meet with a university admissions counselor or with the Non-Residential Bridge Program representatives at their technical college to determine their eligibility for the program.
