    Transient Students

    Students may choose to be a transient student if the school is not an ARCHE participating institution, or if they only wish to be registered at the visiting institution. ARCHE cross-registration is not the same process for cross-enrollment as being a regular transient student. Credit earned as a transient student is not considered resident credit, and all tuition and fees are paid directly to the visiting institution.
