Transient, Special, and Non-Degree Application

Students attending Georgia Tech on a Special or Transient student status are classified as non-degree seeking students and are not normally eligible to continue studies at Georgia Tech. Special or Transient status makes a student eligible for admission during the approved term(s) only and does not imply or guarantee future enrollment at Georgia Tech. 

(Students applying for transient admission for Georgia Tech's Study Abroad program must apply through the Office of International Education transient admission process found here.)
