Transient Student Admission...
A transient student is defined as an applicant who applies for temporary enrollment at Savannah State University. The student must be in good academic standing at his/her "home" institution and have permission from his/her university's registrar's office to take courses at Savannah State University. The student receives advisement from his/her "home" institution. A transient student is expected to return to the institution in which he/she was previously enrolled.
The applicant must submit an application (which is good for one semester only), a $25 application fee, a University System of Georgia Certificate of Immunization and a completed transient permission form or letter from his/her university. The admissions status is a temporary one and the applicant must reapply each semester of expected enrollment. It is the responsibility of the student to make sure he or she has met the prerequisites for courses that he/she wishes to take at Savannah State University.
Non-Degree Student Admission...
