A transient student is one who enrolls at Georgia Tech for one term only (usually during the summer term) in order to take certain applicable advanced course work that will transfer back to his/her home institution. The student should be planning to return to the home institution to complete course work for a degree. A transient student must have permission to take classes at Georgia Tech as authorized by the registrar at the home institution.
