2021-2022 Bridge to Clemson Orientation Components and Registration

As detailed in the Orientation Guide, the 2021-22 Bridge to Clemson virtual orientation has three components:

1. Online modules (via Blackboard) - no registration required 
2. A virtual small group session (Tiger Talk) - registration required, see below 
3. A virtual Advising and Registration session - registration required, see below 

Tiger Talk sessions are one of the three components required for orientation. During this session, students will learn more about the resources available to them during the Bridge year and help them get connected to the Clemson and Tri-County campuses. Students will meet other incoming Bridge to Clemson students and our Bridge to Clemson Orientation Ambassadors (OAs). Students will hear about the Bridge to Clemson experience from a student’s perspective. 

The Advising and Registration sessions are one of the three components required for orientation. During this session, students will meet with a Tri-County faculty advisor to be advised for fall semester classes and then will be assisted by a Bridge to Clemson staff member to register for classes. Each Advising and Registration session is approximately three hours.
