Transient Students

Transient students do not intend to transfer to, or seek either a degree or certificate at BC. If you are currently enrolled at another postsecondary institution and have permission from that institution to take one or more classes at Broward College, you are a transient student.

Please note that some BC courses may have prerequisites or co-requisites, including labs.

As a transient student, you accept full responsibility for possessing or acquiring, at the time of enrollment, the knowledge and/or skills that these pre- and co-requisites provide.

Transient students are responsible for requesting that an official transcript be sent to their home institution after completion of coursework at BC. There ​will be a fee assessed for that transcript.
