Planning to take a course at another college or university over the next term/semester?

If you're taking a course at another institution in the coming term/semester (but which is not part of the BACHE program), you need to complete a Transient Enrollment Form (aka Letter of Good Standing Request). Be sure to provide course descriptions from the institution you are planning to attend before securing department approval. (Course descriptions must accompany the Transient Enrollment Form when it's submitted to the Office of Student Records.)

Deadline is typically April 15, but will be extended to Monday, April 16 for 2012.

Students can access most college catalogs via College Source from the following link: http://www.collegesource.org/search/alpha.asp

Current students can access catalogs via College Source for FREE, but registration is required. Non-students must either pay for a subscription or can use the 10-day free trial to explore the catalogs available.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember to instruct the college or university you are attending to send a transcript to Samford. They will not do so automatically, so you may have to complete a written request. Check with that school for their procedure. Transcripts of summer transient work should be sent to the following address:

Samford University
Office of Student Records
800 Lakeshore Drive
Birmingham, AL 35229
