Transfer Checklist

A student currently enrolled and actively pursuing a degree at another institution will be permitted to take classes at Delta State University on transient status. Transient student applications require a signed certification form which should be completed and mailed to:

Following are the guidelines for enrolling as a transient student:

• Students must submit an application for admission, $25 application fee, a letter of good standing with signed approval from the degree seeking institution, and an immunization record.
• A student who has been admitted as a transient student is not fully admitted to the University.
• Until earning full admission to the University by meeting the admission standards set forth by the Institutions of Higher Learning, all records, including transcripts, will designate “transient status.”
• Transient students are subject to University regulations regarding attendance and academic standing.
• It is the student’s responsibility to verify that coursework completed at Delta State University will transfer to their degree seeking institution.
• Students will not be allowed to enroll in the following courses in an attempt to satisfy admission requirements: English Composition, College Algebra, and Laboratory based Science.
• Transient status also applies to online or off-campus courses.

APPLICANTS WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA:

Applicants who have not graduated from a regionally accredited high school and were not home-schooled must submit qualifying scores on the General Education Development Test (GED) and any transcripts reflecting academic performance in high school. Home-schooled students must present portfolios summarizing his or her home-school education. Submission of scores on the ACT or SAT is strongly encouraged. Applicants may be required, at the discretion of the admitting IHL institution, to appear for an on-campus interview.

APPLICANTS TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER:

An applicant who is at least twenty-one (21) years old and does not meet the regular freshman admission requirements may apply for admission as a non-degree seeking student. Non-degree seeking students may enroll in a maximum of twelve (12) semester hours during a regular term, six (6) semester hours during a five-week summer term, or equivalent hours for alternate terms as determined by the admitting institution. To transition from non-degree-seeking to degree-seeking status, students must satisfactorily complete twelve (12) hours with a “C” or better average in the general education core. Once admitted to a degree program, a maximum of eighteen (18) semester hours credit earned as a nondegree-seeking student may be applied toward a baccalaureate degree, if approved by the dean of the college or school from which the degree is sought.
