Transient Students

A student may be permitted to enroll as a transient student on a space available basis in order to complete work to be transferred to a home college. A student from another technical college within the Technical College System of Georgia wishing to take a traditional class at SGTC should apply for transient status at his/her home school. An application marked “Transient” should be sent to SGTC along with the application fee. The home school approves or disapproves the transient status and will forward a transient agreement for those students approved. A transient student should be advised by his or her home college advisor concerning recommended courses.

An SGTC student wishing to take a traditional class at another college is required to complete a Transient Request form located in the Registrar’s office. A student must be in good standing, must have regular admitted status, must not have holds place on their account, and the courses they are applying for must be in their curriculum. Once approved by the Registrar and Financial Aid Director, a transient agreement will be sent to the host school. The student is responsible for applying and paying all application fees to the host school. Student may not be a beginning (first term) student. Transient students may not take classes at another institution that are currently offered at their home school.

Students must meet the same requirements as stated above. All transient students will have an out of pocket expense to the HOST college.
