New Student Checklist

Welcome to the USC Salkehatchie family! Now that you have been admitted, we invite you to use this page as a new student checklist in preparation for the upcoming semester.

  • Set up your account. (You will need the VIP ID from your acceptance letter to claim your account)
  • Be sure to save your user name, user id, email and password. 
  • If you haven't already done so with your application, complete your Residency Verification Form and send it to SalkADMS@mailbox.sc.edu .
  • For mail submission of documents, please send to:
    USC Salkehatchie, P.O. Box 617, Allendale, SC 29810
  • If you would like to check your status, call 803-812-7475.
  • Completing your degree at USC Salkehatchie will require math and foreign language courses. If you have not already completed these requirements, our placements will help determine which course(s) you need. 
  • Take your Math Placement test.
  • Register for your Foreign Language Placement.
New students are required to attend new student orientation.  Orientation is a one-day event held prior to the beginning of the fall semester.  Multiple date options help ensure you will have the opportunity to attend.  Register early to ensure seat availability.  
You may be eligible for a scholarship!  Apply at using a simple form on our website.

Manage your student account with ease through Self Service Carolina (SSC). Staying on top of your finances is a three-step process designed to keep your focus on your studies, not your paperwork.

Check Your Balance

Log in to my.sc.edu and navigate to the Account Information tab. From there, you can view your real-time statement, including tuition, fees, and any housing or parking charges. We recommend checking this regularly to catch any new activity.

Accept Your Awards

Don't leave money on the table! Head to the Financial Aid section in SSC to review your aid package. While grants and many scholarships are often applied automatically, you must manually accept, reduce, or decline loans and specific state awards.

Note: Be sure to check the "Terms and Conditions" tab to sign any required certifications or affidavits to finalize your funding.

Secure a Payment Plan

If you have a remaining balance after your financial aid is applied, you can avoid a large lump-sum payment by enrolling in a Payment Plan via the Payment Gateway.

  • Options: Choose from various installment plans (e.g., 4-payment or 5-payment options).

  • Setup: Click "Enroll in Payment Plan" under the Balance information. A non-refundable setup fee applies, and a down payment is required at the time of enrollment.

  • When your final high school grades are posted, be sure to submit your official transcripts to our admissions office at SalkADMS@mailbox.sc.edu.
  • Submit your college transcript, if applicable (transfer and dual enrollment students)
  • Official transcripts can also be mailed to:
    USC Salkehatchie, P.O. Box 617, Allendale, SC 29810
  • If you would like to confirm if these have been received, call 803-812-7475.
