Bridge Program Tri County to Clemson
Bridge students enroll at Tri-County for their first year and start their course work in the fall semester. To be admitted to Clemson for the subsequent fall semester, Bridge students are required to earn a minimum of 30 transferable credit hours and a 2.5 grade point average (GPA) during their freshman year at Tri-County. (Course credits and GPA must be earned at Tri-County after high school graduation.)

Tri-County Technical College
Tri-County Technical College believes everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue higher education and is committed to helping all students determine the available opportunities that are best suited for your needs and goals. By assessing student potential and minimizing enrollment obstacles, we strive to create an environment that allows for students to successfully transition to college. The College provides appropriate developmental programs, when needed, to prepare students for success in their intended program of study.
A high school diploma or high school equivalent credential (e.g. GED) from an approved or accredited institution, though desirable, is not a prerequisite for admission to the College, but is required for admission to diploma and degree programs. However, students must complete a placement assessment to be admitted to the College. Note that admission to the College does not guarantee entry to all programs.
