Move Up Day welcomes first year students into the Spartan Community!
Move Up Day symbolizes moving up in the world through education and is also an experience of moving up into adulthood. Not sure what to expect from Move UP or what to bring? Do not worry. You will find great information here!
The USC Upstate community is excited to help you kick off the 2026-2027 academic year. Whether you’re a new Spartan or returning to campus, Move Up is your official welcome home!
