Graduate Transient

A student in good standing at another regionally accredited graduate school who wishes to take courses at Georgia College may be allowed to enroll as a transient student for one semester. In lieu of transcripts and test scores, this student must submit an official letter from the Registrar's Office of the institution in which the student is regularly enrolled, certifying that the student is in good standing and recommending admission to Georgia College as a transient student.

Transient status means that a student is admitted to Georgia College for the specified period of one semester, with the understanding that the student is to return to the student’s home institution at the opening of the next term. Transcripts from coursework completed at GC will not automatically be sent to the home institution and must be requested by the student. Should the student later decide to apply for full admission to Georgia College, not more than 12 semester hours of credit earned while in this category may be applied toward a graduate degree program and then, only if approved by the coordinator of the degree program in consultation with the advisor of the planned field of study. Admission under transient classification does not guarantee admission into a degree, post-master’s certificate, certificate, certification, or endorsement program.
