1. TRANSIENT STUDENT INFORMATION A Transient Student is a student who wishes to attend an institution other than their home institution on a temporary basis. The student must take the recommended courses advised by their home institution in order for the courses to be approved for transfer back to their home institution.

3. Check 17a. As Transient Student

4. On 20a. Fill in 900T

5. Obtain a Transient Letter This required letter from the registrar at the student’s home school serves both as a waiver of prerequisite courses and as a protection for the student on the agreement of transfer or coursework back to their home institution. This letter can be mailed or hand delivered by the student.

6. registration Students should receive an email or letter of acceptance giving instructions how to register for courses online.

Students attempting to make up hours or improve GPA for the PROMISE Scholarship are advised to also check with their home institution financial aid office to be sure of the timeline for submitting grades. Courses that are Pass/Fail may not qualify for Promise. Promise students are encouraged to thoroughly check out all information with their home institution prior to registering for any classes.
