Transient Letters

(FOR GEORGIA TECH STUDENTS ATTENDING OTHER SCHOOLS)

Important Information:

An undergraduate student who is within 36 hours (residency rule) of graduation from Georgia Tech cannot take courses elsewhere and apply the credit toward his/her degree without prior approval. To obtain permission, the student must successfully petition the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. Courses taken via cross-registration are considered resident credit and may be taken during the last 36 hours without Undergraduate Curriculum Committee approval.

Please note that Georgia Tech students cannot be enrolled in Georgia Tech and another institution during the same term with the following exceptions:

Students participating in the cross-registration program.
Students who have the permission of the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee or Graduate Committee to be concurrently enrolled.
Students who are on a co-op work assignment, but are taking no other courses at Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech students who wish to attend another school for a term must apply for admission to the school they wish to attend, by their deadline. The enrollment decision is made by the other school, not Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech students are responsible for verifying that courses taken elsewhere will transfer back to Georgia Tech by reviewing transfer course information on the Transfer Equivalency Catalog. For further information regarding transfer credit, refer to the Transfer Credit Information page.

Georgia Tech students who have a transient form from another institution should submit the form to the Georgia Tech Registrar's Office for processing. Students who do not have a transient form, but need to have a transient letter sent to another school, can complete and sign a Georgia Tech request form. Please allow at least one week for processing.

Students must be on GOOD or WARNING academic standing to order a transient letter.
