Are You Planning to Take Courses at SCC While Enrolled at Another College?
Transient students are required to submit an online application for admission; no application fee is required. Transient students should follow the steps below:
- Meet with your academic advisor or Registrar at your home institution to determine which class offered at SCC will meet your current program requirements. With assistance from their advisor/Registrar, the student is responsible for determining the transferability of courses taken at SCC.
- Review SCC’s class offerings by visiting the website at https://www.sccsc.edu/. scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Search for Classes.” Make sure you review the list of classes offered during the term in which you are interested in attending. If the needed class is offered at SCC, you must secure a Transient Coursework Approval Form from your home institution. This form must include the class name, prefix number, and section number and be signed by you and your advisor or institution’s Registrar.
- Submit an online application for admission at https://sccsc.elluciancrmrecruit.com/Apply/. Submit the signed Transient Coursework Approval Form to the SCC Admissions Center. Note that you may want to ensure the needed class is being offered before applying.
- Submit the Residency Certification Form. The form is available on the online application under the “Residency” section. This form may also be found on our website: https://www.sccsc.edu/. A copy of your driver’s license (and that of anyone you depend on) must also be submitted along with the form.
- Transcripts from your home institution are not required as long as you have submitted the Transient Coursework Approval Form. If you are interested in enrolling in additional classes not included on this form, you must either submit an updated transient form or submit college and possibly high school transcripts to ensure you have completed all prerequisites. Unofficial transcripts are sufficient for this step. Generally, a transient form indicates the student is in good academic standing and meets the equivalent prerequisite requirements for the SCC class in which the student is enrolled.
- Assessment/entrance scores (ACCUPLACER, ACT, SAT) are not required as long as the Transient Coursework Approval Form has been submitted. If you are interested in enrolling in additional classes not included on this form and for which you have not previously met the prerequisites, you must complete the required portion of ACCUPLACER to determine placement.
- Once the application for admission, Transient Coursework Approval Form, Residency Certification Form, and ID have been submitted and processed, and registration has opened for the semester of attendance, you may register for classes by completing a registration form. An advisor in the Admissions Center or the SCC Registrar may enter the registration form. Registration may also be done via email. Contact the Admissions Center at 864-592-4410, or use the email address admissions@sccsc.edu for further information.
- Tuition and other enrollment fees must be paid by the stated deadline.
- A parking pass is required by students taking classes on any SCC campus and can be obtained in the Business Office on the central campus or in the administration office on other SCC campuses. There is no fee for the parking pass.
- An SCC student ID is required and can be obtained at the Admissions Center on any SCC campus.
- Students may purchase books online by visiting https://www.sccsc.edu/bookstore/.
- Once you have completed your course(s), you must request an official transcript be sent back to your home institution. Electronic transcripts can be ordered online through Parchment or through our Records office website: https://www.sccsc.edu/transcripts/.
Please note: Transient students are not eligible for full tuition scholarships or financial aid through Spartanburg Community College. Students are encouraged to contact the financial aid office of their home institution for more information.
