Change of Status Request


The Change of Status (COS) form should only be used to request an update or to make a change in an existing application or admission. It must be accompanied by a non-refundable $15 fee (unless otherwise indicated on the application), payable online. Applicants may access The Change of Status form by visiting The Graduate School’s application webpage http://www.gradschool.sc.edu/apply.htm and selecting on Change of Status or selecting on the following link http://www.gradschool.sc.edu/appcos.htm.

Program transfers and reconsideration of previously declined applications require departmental action recommendations before a change of status can be approved by The Graduate School.
If your request for a change of status requires supporting documents (ie, revised test scores, resume, or transcripts) please send those documents to:

The Graduate School
901 Sumter St. #304
Columbia, SC 29208
Fax: 803-777-2972

If it has been more than three years since your last Graduate School enrollment at USC, you must submit a new application and be readmitted before continuing in your academic program. You cannot use the Change of Status (COS) form to re-apply to a degree program.
