TRANSIENT STUDY

Transient study refers to a Wingate University student taking classes somewhere else to transfer back in to Wingate, usually over the summer.  Students must get advance permission from the Registrar before taking classes elsewhere.  Permission is obtained by filling out the transient study form, which the Registrar will sign if the course or courses are approved.  A copy of the signed form will be sent to the student indicating that approval has been given.  Other conditions that apply:

• A student must have a cumulative 2.00 GPA to take a course at another institution and transfer that credit to Wingate University.

• The last 30 hours of a student's coursework must be taken at Wingate University.

• No grade below a "C" will be accepted as transfer credit. 

• Coursework taken at another institution will not raise the Wingate average.  It will, however, be considered when calculating honors at graduation and for inclusion in certain honor societies.

• Transfer credit cannot substitute for a course that a student has previously failed at Wingate. 

Students may print a copy of the transient study form via the link above or get one from the Office of the Registrar.  The Registrar will attempt to return the transient study form to the student within 48 hours of its receipt. 

Once the form is downloaded and filled out, please fax to 704-233-8125
