Students in good standing at another accredited institution may be permitted to enroll as a transient student on a space-available basis in order to complete work to be transferred back to the home institution.

A Transient applicant must:

• Submit a completed application and nonrefundable application fee to the Admissions Office by stated application deadline.
• Present a transient letter from the home college by the document deadline.
• Transient students must meet all current Chattahoochee Tech prerequisite requirements for enrollment into any class. In most situations, this will require the presentation of unofficial college transcripts.

NOTE:  Transient students are not guaranteed registration into desired class(es) and are not allowed to register during early registration.  A new transient letter is required for each term.
