    Early Action deadline extensions for areas impacted by recent hurricanes

    Following the destruction and devastation of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and as we recover in the aftermath, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is providing Early Action deadline extensions to students from affected areas. 

    Application deadline

    1. If you are submitting your Clemson application through any of our platforms (Common App, Coalition, or Clemson app) after 11:59 p.m. on October 15, please select Regular Decision as your application plan.
    2. Within 24 hours of submitting your application, you will receive an email to set up your Clemson admissions portal.
    3. Once you’re in your portal, please submit the “Request Early Action” form by 11:59 p.m. on October 31. Completion of this form will automatically update your application plan to Early Action.

    Materials deadline

    1. Complete your Self-Reported Academic Record and submit test scores directly from the testing agency (optional) by 11:59 p.m. by November 15.
