Transient Students

Students currently enrolled at another regionally accredited institution may enroll as a transient student on a space-available basis to complete coursework to transfer back to their home institution.

  1. Complete the application for admission and pay the $25 non-refundable application fee.
  2. Submit a transient letter from your home institution to admissions@coastalpines.edu. This letter must verify that you are in good standing and must list the courses you are eligible to take.
  3. Submit lawful presence and proof of residency to qualify for in-state tuition. View the list of acceptable documents to learn more.
Lawful Presence statement:
Any student who cannot be verified as lawfully present in the United States is not eligible to be considered for in-state tuition, regardless of how long he or she has lived in Georgia. In addition to being lawfully present in the United States, students must meet the in-state tuition requirements as outlined in TCSG Board Policy and Procedure V.B.3 to warrant an in-state classification. Students that are initially classified as out-of-state and successfully petition to have their residency changed to in-state also have to meet the verification requirement.

Helpful Hints
Transient students are not guaranteed registration into desired classes. A new transient letter is required for each term. Transcripts are not required for transient students.
