Graduate Transient Admission

• A graduate student must be in good academic standing at an accredited college or university to be considered for admission as a transient student at Auburn University.
  
  
• Admission is dependent upong faculty and facilities availability for one semester only.
  
  
• The student must submit the Graduate Transient Form prior to the beginning of the semester for which transient status is requested. 
  
  
• Since the process involves an admission decision, it must be approved before the first day of the academic term.

• Complete the Graduate Transient Form prior to the beginning of the semester for which transient status is requested. 
  
  
• Use the button at the bottom of the online transient application to generate a paper copy and print the file. 
  • The form must bear the signature of the student’s Graduate Dean (or her/his designee). This transient status is viewed as a professional courtesy between two Graduate Deans; therefore, missing signatures of registrars, academic deans, etc., will cause undue delays in the approval process. If the student’s college or university does not have a Graduate Dean, the Director of Graduate Studies’ signature will be acceptable.

The completed form must be submitted online and approved, prior to registration for courses. Please allow ample processing time for the course registration hold to be lifted after submission.

From the AU Bulletin:

A graduate student in good standing in an accredited college or university may be admitted as a transient when faculty and facilities are available. To be eligible, the student must submit a special Graduate Transient Form prior to the beginning of the semester for which transient status is requested. The form, available from the Graduate School or on the web, must bear the signature of the student’s department head and graduate dean or his/her designee. Transient status is granted for one semester only and does not constitute admission or matriculation as a degree candidate.
