Student Services and Support
We’re here to help you navigate every step of your education. Our goal is to be the one-stop shop for students completing programs of study in Greenville, though our services are available to any USC Upstate student who might find our location more accessible. We can help with advising, registration, financial aid, technology, and student resources. The University Center of Greenville library is accessible to all students, with an Upstate librarian, full electronic catalog and plenty of quiet study spaces. Many student service providers who work on the Spartanburg campus also host office hours in our Greenville office. Call (864) 552-4242 for help and information.
