Transient Students

Attend UTA for one semester to complete some of your coursework!

Transient students are students who are pursuing their degree at another college or university but wish to attend UTA for one semester to complete some of their program coursework.

Students who wish to enroll as transient students must submit an admission application, application fee, and official transcripts. Admittance requires good standing at the student's home institution. Transient students will be classified as non-degree-seeking students and, therefore, are not eligible for financial aid through UTA.

Transient students cannot enroll for two consecutive semesters at UTA. If a transient student wants to transfer to UTA, they must apply for admission according to the procedures, criteria and deadlines for transfer admissions. Once transient students are admitted as transfer students, they are immediately subject to the UTA's academic regulations and the rules of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI).

  2. Pay the Application Fee

    If you didn’t pay your application fee when you submitted your admission application, you can pay it online. A decision on your application cannot be rendered until all required documents and fees are received. Application fees are non-refundable. Fee waivers are not available for students applying to the Accelerated Online programs.

    Pay Your Application Fee
    Register an account to pay your app fee. Use the same email address you used on your application so we can accurately match your payment to your file.
  3. Submit Official Transcripts

    You need to submit only the official transcripts from your home campus (school you are currently attending) and you must be in good standing with that institution. The fastest method is electronically--sent directly from your school. If you are asked for an email address, use utaadmissions@uta.edu. However, we will accept transcripts by mail or in person.
