Transient Student (SCF student taking classes at another institution)

If you’re a current SCF student who wants to take courses at another institution, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be in good standing with a minimum Overall GPA of a 2.0 or higher.
  • Be a degree-seeking student
  • Have completed at least 15 college credits at SCF.  If this is your first semester, you must wait until grades are posted and you have a GPA, before you apply to be a transient. Bachelor degree seeking students must have completed at least 15 college credits (3000 – 4000 level courses) at SCF.
  • Cannot be a transient during your first term at SCF. You have to have an academic record with SCF to qualify for transient status.
  • Have completed all required developmental education courses.
  • Have met the SCF pre-requisite(s) for the requested course(s).
  • Requested course(s) that are required for the degree.
  • Have no applicable holds, e.g. accounts receivable, outstanding transcript(s)

You will be approved to take only those courses that you would be eligible to take at SCF. For example, if you have not completed prep algebra, you would not be approved to take MAC 1105 at SCF or another institution. Courses must be applicable to the degree you are seeking at SCF.

Upon completion of the course(s), it is your responsibility to have an official transcript sent from the transient institution to SCF Office of the Registrar.
