It is important that you meet with your advisor at your home institution (the college/university that you intend to graduate from) to determine the class that is right for you.

Transient students typically are coming to AUM to take class(es) for one semester and transferring those credits back to their “home” institution (the college/university that they plan to graduate from). Transfer students permanently leave their current institution with the goal of finishing their degree at AUM and graduating from AUM.
