Prospective Students...Transient Students

Many students take courses at Columbus State while continuing to attend another college. We may call them "transient students," but we treat them just like full-time students.


Step One: Get your Transcript

Obtain this from your high school and any other colleges you may have attended. Your transcript will allow our Advising and Counseling department to help you choose your classes.

Step Two: Apply to the College

If you already know what classes you want, proceed directly to the online application. As a transient student, orientation is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.
