Transient Study Statement

The William States Lee College of Engineering encourages all students to enroll in courses at UNC Charlotte that advance them in their degree program.  The College recognizes that there are circumstances where it is necessary to enroll in courses at other institutions in order to progress toward the degree in a timely manner.  Transient study permits this.  Students seeking to take courses through transient study must follow the UNC Charlotte transient study approval process,

Transient study forms may be found at the Registrar's website

http://www.registrar.uncc.edu/st.html under the Print Forms pull down menu.

Transient study courses will be approved by the Dean's Office if the courses are covered by an articulation agreement between UNC Charlotte and the institution offering the courses.  Courses not covered by an articulation agreement will also be approved by the Dean's Office for transient study if the student's advisor, the UNC Charlotte departments offering the courses, and the student's degree-granting department pre-approve the courses.  Transient study credits cannot exceed the credit hour limits for transfer credit set by the university.  Students may confirm transfer equivalencies for courses taught at North Carolina community colleges at
