Transient Students

  1. A student who attends another postsecondary institution and who seeks credit for transfer to that parent institution may be admitted to the College as a transient student.
  2. The student must submit an application for admission and an official letter from their home institution certifying the approved term and the specific courses the student is authorized to take. The letter must also confirm that credits earned at the college will be accepted and applied toward the student’s academic program at the home institution.
  3. Transient students are responsible for completing the transcript request to ensure that transcripts are sent to the parent institution. 
  4. Wallace State students who wish to take courses at another institution as transient students must complete the Transient Request Form and submit it to newstudent@wallacestate.edu. To be eligible, students must have completed at least 12 institutional credit hours and established an academic standing. Students with an outstanding balance owed to the college are not eligible to receive a transient letter.
  5. Credit for the course(s) will be accepted in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements at Wallace State, provided a grade of “C” or better was earned in the transient course.
