Transient Status
Georgia College & State University students who are planning on taking transient coursework with another institution may qualify for financial aid. In order for students to receive federal funds or other aid for transient coursework, a Consortium Agreement (pdf) must be obtained from the GCSU Financial Aid Office and completed by the host institution. Please note that many institutions will not participate in the consortium process therefore causing student aid ineligibility.
Students are required to pay all costs at the host institution and receive aid as reimbursement. HOPE eligible students may receive HOPE if attending an eligible institution. HOPE funds are paid by the host institution. Some institutions may choose not to process financial aid for transient students. Please check with the financial aid office of the school you wish to attend.
For specifics on qualifying, contact the Financial Aid Office,103 Parks Hall, (478) 445-5149.
