Students in good standing and enrolled at West Georgia Technical
College may choose to enroll in classes at other colleges (host
colleges) throughout the state for credit towards their program
of study while West Georgia Technical College remains their home
college. To enroll as a transient student, the following must be
completed before the pre-registration period:
1. If taking transient classes on campus at another college,
the student should contact the home school registrar during pre-registration.
The registrar will determine eligibility and complete a transient
agreement to be sent to the host college of your choice. Students
admission and financial aid files must be complete and in good
standing before taking transient classes.
2. If taking transient classes on-line at a host college, a
student must apply through the Georgia Virtual Technical College
(GVTC) at the web site www.gvtc.org and follow all the directions
to apply for courses through this clearinghouse. This step should
be completed during pre-registration as many colleges have deadlines
that may prevent registration after the deadline has passed with
www.gvtc.org.
3. VA students must also contact both VA certifying officials
at the home college and host college and request that they both
certify the class hours for which they are enrolled at the host
college to Veterans Affairs.
4. The host college facilitates the award for the HOPE Grant
or Scholarship covering tuition and fees and issues a book voucher.
Students should contact the host college to redeem the book voucher.
5. Students who receive only the Pell Grant are responsible
for tuition and fees at the time of registration. The host college
will forward the credit hours enrolled to the home college to
be credited to the student’s PELL award. The Federal Pell
Grant will be awarded to on-line students in the last week of
classes after the Financial Aid Office has received certification
of the student’s enrollment by the host school.
6. The student should make arrangements with the host college
to send official grades to the home college when the quarter
is over.
