We’re pleased to welcome visiting students who want to take Â鶹ֱ²¥ classes to earn credits to transfer to their home institution.
Visiting students are current college students who are enrolled at another institution and are not pursuing a degree at Â鶹ֱ²¥. Our visiting students often take classes during our summer or winter terms while they are on break from a four-year college or university, with the goal of transferring the credits to count toward a bachelor’s degree program at their main school.
Taking classes as a visiting student is a fantastic opportunity to both earn college credits and to complete required courses—all at a fraction of the per-credit cost of a four-year institution.
The first step to becoming a Â鶹ֱ²¥ student is to apply for admission.
You’ll need to create an account on our application portal. Fill in the fields with your information.
In the drop-down menu under “Choose the statement that best describes you,” select the option for “I am a visiting student, attending a different institution.”
To ensure the best fit with your current knowledge and abilities, you can either submit an unofficial transcript from your home institution or take the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Placement Test.
Before registering, you’ll need to meet with an academic advisor for expert guidance on how to make the most of your time as a visiting student at Â鶹ֱ²¥ and to register for classes.
If a Â鶹ֱ²¥ course you’d like to register for has a prerequisite, you’ll need to provide an unofficial transcript from your home institution showing that your previous coursework fulfills the requirement, as well as complete Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Prerequisite Waiver with Advising. If your home institution’s course is not currently in Â鶹ֱ²¥’s database, you’ll need to provide that course’s syllabus so that Â鶹ֱ²¥ can verify that it meets the requirements.
When you enroll at Â鶹ֱ²¥, you’ll gain access to a wealth of financial assistance opportunities to keep college affordable for you.
If you are planning to use financial aid, you must declare a major similar to the major at your primary/degree-granting institution. Financial aid will not be awarded without a major being declared.
To learn about financial assistance, get more information on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), calculate the cost of your Â鶹ֱ²¥ education, and much more, visit our Costs and Aid page.
We’re glad to have you at Â鶹ֱ²¥, and we hope it’ll be an exciting and rewarding leg of your journey toward reaching your college and career goals. will introduce you to the college and provide you with the information you need to excel here at the college.
