To learn before becoming a SC student...

Financial Limitations

  • Be clear about what you can contribute toward expenses in advance.
  • Talk to your student about what their financial responsibilities should be, whether it is working a part-time job, applying for financial aid or taking out a student loan.
  • Be sure to remind them that every family is different and therefore their friends may have different financial obligations and responsibilities.

How Do I Schedule a Personal Visit

To schedule a Personal Visit:

  • Review the Campus Calendar.  It is best to visit when classes are in session to get the full SC experience.  However, the Admissions Office is often open during breaks, and could still offer a Personal Visit but meetings with professors may not be available (nor will classes, chapel or overnight stays).
  • Review all of the Campus Visit Opportunities offered.
