Transient Student Status:

Slippery Rock University students who are in good academic standing, or who are under academic suspension and plan to take courses at another institution for transfer back to Slippery Rock University must complete and have approved by their advisor, chairperson and dean (if suspended) a transient student clearance form and comply with all regulations cited on that form. Credit will not be awarded for transient courses determined by the director of academic records and summer school to duplicate coursework already posted on students' SRU record. Transient credit will be awarded for courses in which grades of "C-" or better have been earned. Grades earned as a transient student will not be computed in a student's SRU cumulative QPA. Copies of the transient student form are available in the departmental chairpersons' offices or the office of academic records and summer school. Transient students may not take correspondence courses and credit earned by examination. Other policies governing transient status are available from the office of academic records and summer school.

Visiting Students:

Students desiring to transfer credit and grades earned at other universtities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education back to Slippery Rock University may do so as visiting students. Courses taken under this program are treated the same as courses taken at Slippery Rock University in computing the students' QPA. A special form, with a list of program requirements, is available in the office of academic records and summer school and must be approved by the students' advisor or chairperson, academic dean, and the director of academic records and summer school.
