This summer there is still an opportunity to sign up for a course that you need. All but 5 courses are being offered online which offers you the greatest flexibility. This could be a Crossings Curriculum course, a course toward your major/minor or even a course that is needed to transition into a new major.
The last day to sign up for a Min-Mester D course is Wed. July 15th. These courses will have final exams on Aug. 3rd. Below is a list of the courses that are available:

Did you know that about 50% of Clemson students will change their major? The good news is that you are not alone, and there are several majors at Clemson that you can get a jumpstart with over the summer to help you not delay your graduation. Here are 13 majors that you can take courses in this Summer 2026 to help you transition well, especially if you are a Freshmen going into your Sophomore year this fall:

Degree Works can help students quickly identify Summer Term courses that fit their degree plans. It can also support academic planning by showing completed and remaining requirements. In addition, the “What If” feature allows students to explore how their credits would apply to a different major, a second major, or a minor.
To access a Degree Works audit, students should log in to iROAR, open Student Self-Service, and select Degree Works. In the audit, required courses appear in bold. When a student hovers over a highlighted course, Degree Works displays whether that course is offered during the summer, when it is available, and whether seats remain open.
Students who would like additional guidance can visit the Registrar’s website for tips and training on how to use Degree Works effectively.

Repeating Courses Passed
A student may repeat a course passed with a grade lower than B. Repeating a course graded D or C does not erase the original D or C grade. If a student elects to apply Academic Forgiveness to a course graded D, the Academic Forgiveness Policy below will apply. Otherwise, both grades appear on the record and are computed in the cumulative grade-point average. A course graded C cannot be forgiven. Credit for the same course will be counted only once toward the number of hours required for graduation. For academic eligibility purposes, duplicate credits do not count as credits passed. For financial aid purposes, duplicate credits do not count as credits completed for satisfactory progress. If a student repeats a course passed with grade of B or better, the credits and grade points earned in the repeat attempt will be removed from the cumulative summary.
Repeating Courses Failed
A student who has failed a course cannot receive credit for that course until it has been satisfactorily repeated hour for hour in a class; except that in the case of co-related laboratory work, the number of hours to be taken shall be determined by the instructor.
Where separate grades for class and laboratory work are given, that part of the subject shall be repeated in which the failure occurs. Successfully repeating a course previously graded F does not erase the original F grade from the student’s record. If a student elects to apply Academic Forgiveness to a failed course, the Academic Forgiveness Policy below will apply. Otherwise, both grades appear on the record and are computed in the cumulative grade-point average.
Academic Forgiveness Policy
The Academic Forgiveness Policy (AFP) allows an enrolled student seeking a Clemson University degree to eliminate from the GPA calculation up to two courses in which a D or F was earned. Further information on specific questions related to the use of Academic Forgiveness can be found on the Registrar’s website.
Academic Forgiveness can improve a student’s GPA while reducing their earned credit hours, so students must be aware of all consequences before requesting that a grade be forgiven. Students are encouraged to speak with the Office of Student Financial Aid if they have questions about how Academic Forgiveness may affect their scholarship eligibility. If students are seeking to regain a scholarship for an upcoming academic year, they must invoke the AFP before the first day of class of the fall semester. For financial aid purposes, courses repeated under this policy resulting in duplicate credit do not count for satisfactory academic progress.
The following conditions apply:
Students may not invoke the AFP after they have graduated. After graduation, students may repeat coursework, but both grades will be calculated in the grade-point average.

Some Clemson minors can be completed in as little as one full summer term. In these programs, courses are sequenced across the summer in a way that allows students to finish the entire minor in one summer.
Minors in One Summer
These minors include:
Many of these minors pair well with a variety of majors, and some of the required courses may also count toward major requirements. For students who are considering changing a major, adding a minor can also be a practical way to explore a new field of study before declaring a full major.
Minors Over Several Summers
Summer can also be a helpful option for students who have already declared a minor or want to begin one but have limited course availability during the fall and spring semesters. Some minors can be completed through a combination of summers. While all required courses for these minors are typically offered during the summer, prerequisite requirements may prevent students from finishing them in a single summer term. These minors include:
Students who are interested in declaring a minor or changing their major should first speak with their academic advisor to make sure the plan fits their overall degree requirements. After that, they can submit an Undergraduate Change of Program request through the Student Records tab in iROAR to declare the minor and register for summer courses.
