Undergraduate Transient Students

Transient status allows degree-seeking students enrolled at another institution to take courses which are not offered at their parent institution at Florida State University on a space-available basis. Students must be in good academic standing at their parent institution and (if previously enrolled) at Florida State.

Transient applications may be submitted no earlier than one semester in advance of the term for which the applicant is seeking admission.
