Transient Visiting Students

WHAT IS A TRANSIENT VISITING STUDENT?

If you are enrolled at a college other than Greenville Technical College and you would like to take classes at Greenville Technical College in order to transfer them back to your “home” college, you are considered a Transient Visiting student.

Transient Visiting students are:

Responsible for tuition and fees
Not eligible for financial aid, lottery tuition assistance or GTC scholarships including the Zero Tuition Workforce Scholarship
Responsible for completing the online orientation accessible on GTC4me
Allowed to register for classes where seats are available
Not eligible to be placed on waiting lists for classes

BEFORE YOU ENROLL

Choose your courses from any of the transferable courses in Arts & Sciences Programs, Business Programs, Public Service Programs or Technology Programs, and make sure that the credits will be accepted by your home college.
Check for current Greenville Technical College prerequisites for the courses you wish to take by viewing the catalog.

STEPS TO ENROLL

NOTE: If you were a student at Greenville Technical College within the last 3 semesters, skip steps 1, 2, and 3 below. If you were not a Transient Visiting Student when you were enrolled at the college, you will need to submit a Program Change Form (pdf) to change your program to Transient Visiting.

Complete the online application for admission to Greenville Technical College as early as possible.
- Enter major/program on application as Transient Visiting.
Submit the Declaration of Legal Presence in US (pdf) with appropriate documentation (e.g. driver's license, CDL, Passport, etc.) to OnlineOrientation@gvltec.edu.
Once you have received an email of college acceptance, complete the Online Orientation, accessible on GTC4me (login required). If you do not know your GTC4me username, visit this link for username assistance.
Review and electronically sign the Student Enrollment Agreement (SEA) form verifying your understanding of important information related to your enrollment at Greenville Technical College. You will find the SEA form in Self Service, accessed through GTC4me
Choose one of these two options to register for classes:
- Our electronic process: Transient Students must complete the online Transient Visiting Student Enrollment & Permission Form for each semester you wish to attend and have your institution dean or advisor sign it approving the courses selected.
  (Please note that each person filling out this form will need to create a DynamicForms account if they have not already done so. If a parent and a student are signing this form, they must each have their own DynamicForms account using their own e-mail addresses.)
  - Students must complete the top portion of the form, sign then click submit for the form to electronically send to your dean or advisor.
  - Once the dean or advisor signs the form, it will submit to Greenville Technical College’s Enrollment Services to be processed.
  - When registration begins, you will be registered and an email will be sent to the email address you used setting up the Transient Visiting Student Enrollment Form.
Or:
- Our walk-in process: Transient Students must complete the Transient Visiting Student Permission form (pdf) for each semester you wish to attend and have your institution dean or advisor sign it approving the courses selected, or you may provide your home college’s permission form. Please also complete the Add/Drop/Withdrawal form (pdf) to register at the Dreisbach/Anderson Student Success Center starting the first day of registration. Should you need further information, please call (864) 250-8000.
Individuals registering on behalf of a student must also provide enrollment services a completed Information Release Authorization Form that has been signed by the student along with a copy of the student's picture ID.
- Transient Visiting students cannot add/drop or withdraw online.
Make your payment for classes. Payment is due in full. Payment can be made online, over the phone or in-person at the Bursar's Office or enrollment services at any of our campuses.
- Failure to pay tuition or make payment arrangements may result in your class(es) being purged (deleted).
  - If you cannot pay your tuition in full, GTC offers a “Do Not Purge” payment option. This option ensures that a student’s class schedule will not be deleted for non-payment. A down payment will be required.
  - Access the Do not purge promissory note or GTC4me > Self Service.
Note: Transient students are not eligible for financial aid at Greenville Technical College. Check with your home institution for financial assistance information concerning attending another institution.
