2014-2015 Undergraduate Catalog

Transient Students

A transient student enrolled in another college who wishes to take a course(s) at Cumberland, transferring credit to the college regularly attended, may do so by obtaining a Statement of Permission and Good Standing from the Dean or Registrar of the college of their current institution. 

Documentation must be received prior to registration and should specify the course(s) that may be taken by the transient student. Current admission standards for traditional undergraduate students apply. All students wishing to take courses at Cumberland University as a transient student must complete the following: 

  1. Submit the application for admission and return to the Office of Admissions. The application may be found online at www.cumberland.edu or a paper application may be requested by contacting the Office of Admissions. 
  2. Pay the application fee. 
  3. Submit an official transcript from the college/university in which the student is currently enrolled. 
  4. A personal statement may be required for admission if the transient student does not meet the requirements for regular admission.
Cumberland University will not provide academic counseling for transient students or guarantee the appropriateness of course work taken here to the degree being sought by the student elsewhere.
