Transient Students

Taking classes at SCC while you are enrolled at another college is a smart way to earn credits while saving time and money!

Before completing an SCC admissions application and paying the application fee, you should:

• Check with your college's registrar office to ensure the course you want to take at SCC will transfer to your home institution and meets your program's requirements.
• Ensure that the class is being offered and is available during your desired term.  
• Understand that the $25 application fee is non-refundable.

Making Summer Plans? 

SCC offers 9-week and 5-week terms over the summer with online, hybrid and traditional classes. Learn more about SCC's Summer Term.

What Will Transfer?

See transfer articulation details and agreements at SC TRAC or CollegeTransfer.net , or view a list of colleges in South Carolina with whom SCC has  transfer agreements. (NOTE: It is the student's responsibility to confirm whether or not a class will transfer to his or her home institutions prior to enrolling.)
