Transient Student

A transient student is defined as a student who seeks:

  1. To enroll at another college/university for credit to be transferred to Cumberland University, or
  2. To enroll at Cumberland University to have academic course work transferred to another college/university.

Cumberland University students requesting transient permission at other institutions must file the request in writing stating the desired transient institution, the specific courses at the transient institution, the calendar term the course will be taken, and the equivalent Cumberland University courses. If permission is granted, a “Letter of Transient Permission” becomes part of the permanent record file of the student and a copy of the letter will be provided to the student as proof of transient permission. Any course work completed without first having prior written approval may not be used as academic credit toward a degree. All course work grades approved by the Dean of the appropriate School for transient permission will be calculated as part of the cumulative grade point average. The calculation will not be figured in until the final GPA for graduation is determined. The student is responsible for completing all admissions and/or other enrollment requirements at the transient institution and for having the transient institution forward an official transcript to Cumberland University upon completion of the approved coursework.

Students temporarily enrolling at Cumberland University for the purpose of taking course work to be transferred to their permanent (home) institution must present an official Letter of Transient Permission. This document must arrive on or prior to regular registration day of the term for which the student is seeking admission and be signed by the Official from the home institution. Specific classes for which the student is being given permission to register must be listed. The transient student must be eligible to enter as determined by the admission standards published in this catalog. This institution will not provide academic counseling to transient students nor guarantee the appropriateness of course work taken here to the degree being sought by the student elsewhere.
