Transient Course Credit
Current students may request to complete courses at another institution as a transient student. Students may submit an online Transient Letter Request via mySWU prior to the semester in which the student would like to enroll in transient courses. Students who do not request or receive transient permission to attend another institution or who complete courses that were not approved by the Office of Academic Records risk not having their transient courses transfer to SWU.
Once the student submits the Transient Permission Request, the Office of Academic Records will send the student notification of whether or not the transient request is approved. If approved, the student will be sent a Certified Transient Permission Letter that may be presented to the transient institution for purposes of admission. The student is responsible for sending a copy of the official transcript from the transient institution to the Office of Academic Records at SWU once the transient courses are completed in order for the transfer credit to be included in the student’s academic record.
