Eligibility Requirements

Students are eligible to enroll at Cleveland State as a transient student and are exempt from the formal application process if they:

• are currently an undergraduate or graduate degree-seeking student at another college or university,
• are in good academic standing at their home institution,
• have obtained written permission from their home institution to attend Cleveland State on a transient basis, and
• have successfully completed any applicable prerequisites for the course(s) in which they wish to enroll.

Restrictions

• Transient registration does not imply acceptance to the University as a degree-seeking student.
• Financial aid is not available for transient students.
• Academic department approval, or proof that course requisites have been met, may be required to register, particularly for 300- and 400-level (junior- and senior-level) courses.
• Transient student enrollment can occur once open enrollment has started for a given term. Transient students are subject to the same registration (add/drop) and academic standing policies that apply to degree-seeking students.
• Fees are not charged for placement examinations.
