EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION
The University of South Carolina offers a special rate for any applications received prior to the stated deadline (see application). This early bird registration encourages students to make summer plans and gives them a jump start on any materials that need to be prepared prior to the session. Emails, faxes and postmarks must be dated prior to or on the stated deadline to receive this discount.
CANCELLATION/WITHDRAWAL
Deposits are refunded only if the course is not offered by the University of South Carolina or if the applicant is not accepted. Balance of course fees are non-refundable, but payment may be transferred to an alternate CMS course. No transfers will made less than 30 days prior to the start of each course. Please send such transfer requests in writing to CMS, University of South Carolina Academic Enrichment and Conferences, 1600 Hampton Street Annex, Suite 208, Columbia, SC 29208. The liability of University of South Carolina is limited to the registration fee, and the University will not be responsible for any losses incurred by registrants or their families, including but not limited to airline cancellation charges or hotel deposits. The University of South Carolina reserves the right to cancel and refund all registration fees for any course due to circumstances beyond our control, including insufficient registration.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Individuals with disabilities or other special needs who anticipate needing reasonable accommodations or who have questions about physical access may contact USC’s Summer Academic Programs (803-777-9444) in advance of your participation in the program.
CELL PHONES - Parents Please Read!
We know that parents and children value the ability to be able to call each other at a moments notice. For that reason, we will not prohibit cell phones at camp this summer. However, cell phones are not to be seen or used in the classroom or during any instructional time.
Parents are responsible for setting clear guidelines for cell phone use with their student. USC’s Summer Academic Programs is not responsible for large cell phone bills resulting from students loaning their phones to friends or calling each other after lights out and talking all night.
