TRANSIENT ADMISSIONS
A student in good standing at another institution may enroll as a transient student on a space-available basis in order to complete work to be transferred back to the student’s home institution. A transient student should be advised in writing by the home institution concerning recommended courses.
The transient student must complete the following:
- Submit an application for admission to the host institution.
- Present a Transient Agreement Letter from the Registrar or Academic Dean of the home institution indicating that the student is in good standing and eligible to return to that institution.
NOTE: The 25 hour credit maximum may be waived for the student upon the recommendation of the home institution.
- Pay scheduled fees for the host institution.
Eligible program admitted students at Augusta Technical College desiring to take a course from another institution must have prior approval from the Registrar.
