Transient Permission Letters
Students temporarily enrolling at Cumberland University for the purpose of taking course work to be transferred to their permanent (home) institution must present an official Letter of Transient Permission. This document must arrive on or prior to regular registration day of the term for which the student is seeking admission and be signed by the Official from the home institution. Specific classes for which the student is being given permission to register must be listed. The transient student must be eligible to enter as determined by the admission standards published in this catalog. This institution will not provide academic counseling to transient students nor guarantee the appropriateness of course work taken here to the degree being sought by the student elsewhere.
Cumberland University students wishing to take course work elsewhere to be applied to a degree program at this institution must secure a Letter of Transient Permission from the Office of the Registrar prior to enrolling in those classes. In general, this option is not open to students within their last semester prior to graduation or when the same classes are offered through Cumberland University. Transient permission may not be given for the purpose of repeating courses previously taken at Cumberland University, nor if the course is being offered at Cumberland University during the term for which Transient Permission is being sought. All grades earned by transient permission will be calculated in the Cumberland University grade point average. This calculation will be made only for the purposes of the final graduation GPA.
