Transient and Readmission Students

Interinstitutional Transient Students

This program enables students to take advantage of special resources and/or programs not available at their home institution. An interinstitutional transient student, by mutual agreement of the appropriate academic authorities in both the sponsoring and hosting institution, will receive a waiver of standard admission requirements of the host institution and a guarantee of acceptance of earned resident credits by the sponsoring institution. Interinstitutional transient students must be recommended by their own academic dean, who will initiate a visiting arrangement with the appropriate dean at the host institution. Students will register at the host institution, paying tuition and/or registration fees established by that institution. The approval of one institution does not bind the other to comply.

Note: Students may not dual enroll in both institutions. Dual enrollment for this purpose is defined as seeking formal admission to two institutions at the same time for the purpose of graduating with degrees from both institutions. For more information, students are advised to contact their academic dean or the Office of Admissions, A2500 University Center.

To apply for this program, please fill out an interinstitutional transient student application.

A memorandum from your academic department requesting the change should be sent to the Graduate Section of the Office of Admissions. Graduate students who wish to change majors before completing the degree should complete a Change of Major card available at the Office of the Registrar. Graduate students wishing to dual enroll in more than one academic program at the same time should contact The Graduate School to complete a Dual Enrollment Request form. Graduate readmissions decisions are made by the academic departments with final approval by the Office of Admissions.
