Dear Clemson FamilyMembers,
Congratulations and welcome to the Clemson
Family! By supporting your student through
their college journey, you are just as much a
part of the Clemson Family as your student.
We hope you embrace the spirit of Clemson
and take advantage of all we have to offer.
Over the next several years, your student will
be presented with a myriad of opportunities
and experiences as we prepare and empower
them to make a difference as global citizens.
Through engagement with academics and
all aspects of student life, we hope our
students are able to achieve their personal
and professional goals. Clemson provides an
array of resources to help them thrive, both
inside and outside of the classroom.
As a supporter of your student, you are
critical to their success in college, and we
want to ensure you have the tools to continue
supporting them throughout their Clemson
journey. This Family Handbook will guide
you through student experiences and
allow you to connect with specific Clemson
services and resources. We hope you will
take time to familiarize yourself with the
many sources of support offered at Clemson
University.
We understand this time may also be a
large change for your family, and you are
experiencing your own transition into
Clemson and into a new season of life. It is
our hope the communications, initiatives
and events detailed below will help you feel
connected to Clemson consistently as you
and your student navigate this next chapter.
