The University of South Carolina Lancaster strives to provide an opportunity to any student who is capable of benefiting from a college education and shows promise of successfully completing that education. The University encourages all qualified persons to apply. Equal educational opportunities are offered to students regardless of race, sex, religion, color, or national origin.

An application for admission must be submitted and approved and an official notification of acceptance issued by the Office of Admissions before any person may enroll in an undergraduate course. Before action can be taken on an application for admission, all credentials required by University policy must be received by the Office of Admissions, which has responsibility for evaluation of credentials for the purpose of admission. First-time applications must be accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee specified on the application form.

Applicants may use the Online Admissions Application, or paper forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions. Campus tours may be arranged through the Office of Admissions.
