In an effort to maintain the health and safety of our campus community from the coronavirus (COVID-19), Claflin University has migrated all of its accepted student visits to an online environment. While nothing can replace the warm, hospitality of the in person interaction shared by members of the Claflin Family, we are excited to be able to provide you with webinars and other virtual events to help you transition from high school into Claflin University.
Please browse the events schedule below. We look forward to interacting with you in all or some of the events!
WEBINARS AND VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES FOR ACCEPTED STUDENTS
Webinars and virtual experiences are offered weekly. Updated schedules will be posted regularly so be sure to check our web page often.
