Important Information
Once a student has completed undergraduate degree requirements to the point where they have their final 45 credit hours required for their degree remaining, they will be allowed to complete a maximum of 7 credit hours of transfer credit and have them applied to their degree requirements. This means that 38 of the final 45 credit hours required for an undergraduate degree must be completed in residence at Georgia Tech.
Courses taken via cross-registration or with GT Office of International Education for Exchange are considered resident credit.
Please note that Georgia Tech students cannot be enrolled in Georgia Tech and another institution during the same term with the following exceptions:
- Students may concurrently enroll at Georgia Tech and another Institution during the Summer Term.
- Students participating in the cross-registration program.
- Students who have the permission of the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee or Graduate Committee to be concurrently enrolled in either Fall or Spring terms.
- Students who are on a co-op work assignment, but are taking no other courses at Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech students who wish to attend another school for a term must apply for admission to the school they wish to attend, by their deadline. The enrollment decision is made by the other school, not Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech students are responsible for verifying that courses taken elsewhere will transfer back to Georgia Tech by reviewing transfer course information on the Transfer Equivalency Catalog. For further information regarding transfer credit, refer to the Transfer Credit Information page.
Georgia Tech students who have a transient form from another institution should submit the form to the Georgia Tech Registrar's Office for processing. Students who do not have a transient form, but need to have a transient letter sent to another school, can complete and sign a Georgia Tech request form. Please allow at least one week for processing.
Transient Student Final Transcripts
After completing coursework at the transient institution, send transcripts electronically from the University Registrar through an approved service (e.g. Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, SCOIR, etc.). Select "Georgia Tech" or "Georgia Institute of Technology" as the recipient of the document. If an email address is required for electronic submission, use email addresses below.
The Registrar's Office can only accept official transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution. We cannot accept transcripts accepted via a link, copy of transcript, or a forwarded email. If you have questions about the final transcripts, contact dc@registrar.gatech.edu
