A Transfer student is a student entering for the first time and who is known to have previously attended another institution at the same level (e.g. undergraduate to undergraduate) and intends to complete a degree/certificate at the institution. 

A Transient student is a student entering for the first time and who is known to have previously attended another institution at the same level (e.g. undergraduate to undergraduate) and does not intend to complete a degree/certificate at the institution. 

Procedural guidelines for transfer/transient students include:

• Submit an official college transcript from each post-secondary institution previously attended. (If college courses are in progress at the time of submission, an updated college transcript with all completed coursework must be submitted.)
• Submit additional supporting documentation as required for admission verification purposes.

Students on academic warning or academic suspension from another college or university are subject to the same conditions as Laredo College students on academic warning or academic suspension status and may need to appeal to the SAP appeals committee prior to registration. 

Students on disciplinary suspension from another college or university may not be admitted to Laredo College until the period of the disciplinary suspension has expired at the other college or university.

Students on scholastic disciplinary conditions will be reported to the Director of Student Discipline/Title IX Coordinator for record keeping purposes.

Note: Transfer/Transient students who earned their degrees internationally may require an evaluation by the American Association of Collegiate Registrar and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) for equivalency purposes. Laredo College reserves the right to accept or reject the results of the evaluation completed by the professional agency. Students who completed their studies in a country where English is not the native language will be required to submit proof of English Proficiency. International students will be required to submit additional supporting documentation, see International Student.
