  • Alexa, ask Clemson University how busy is the beach at Snow Recreation Center?
  • Alexa, ask Clemson University what equipment is available at Snow Recreation Center?
• When asking registrar questions (how do I pay my bill, where do I enter grades) you must now preface your question with “registrar.” For example:
  • Alexa, ask Clemson University Registrar how do I pay my tuition?
  • Alexa, ask Clemson University Registrar where do I enter grades?
