Incoming Visiting Transient Student
Incoming transient students are students seeking a degree at another institution and would like to take courses at FIU on a temporary basis.
All Public Florida State College and University transient students must complete the electronic Transient Student Application through the Florida Shines website. Once submitted and approved to FIU, your application will be processed by the Office of the Registrar and you will be notified via email.
If you are attending a Florida private institution or an out-of-state institution, you will need to complete the Non-degree Student Application and pay the $30 application fee.
There is no application fee for the Florida public institution students going through Florida Shines.
Immunization Requirement
Please ensure that your immunization record is complete with your Institution and that they have indicated you have provided your (MMR) vaccination proof to them. Email the transient student form with Measles and Rubella "YES" verification to immune@fiu.edu . If you have not satisfied the (MMR)requirement, please submit your vaccination proof to the FIU Student Health Services as soon as possible; students cannot register for courses until their immunization holds are cleared. Students have the option to waive the Hepatitis B and Meningitis requirements by accepting an online waiver viamy.fiu.edu. These waivers can be found in the "Student Health Portal" link located at the bottom right corner of the Student Center page. For more details about the immunization requirements, please visitStudenthealth.fiu.edu and click on the immunization link or contact their office at MMC 305-348-2401 or BBC (305) 919-5675.
Please note: Approval of your status as a transient student does not guarantee access to the requested course(s), this is based on course availability and department/instructor consent if necessary. If you plan on enrolling for a course that requires pre-requisites that were completed outside of FIU, please contact the department for approval in advance. Department listings maybe found online at http://www.fiu.edu/academics/degree-programs/index.php
*It is the student's responsibility to coordinate any class permission and prerequisites with the department and professors prior to enrollment.
