Guest student status means that you are pursuing a degree at another institution and plan to complete just one or perhaps a few courses at UM-Flint to transfer back to your home school. It is up to your home school to determine how courses transfer. You should verify that the courses you take at UM-Flint will fulfill your needs at your home institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a guest student, your transcripts are not entered into our system. As a result, you will need to obtain permission to register for any course that has a prerequisite. Typically, this is done by contacting the department and showing them a copy of your transcript that verifies completion of the prerequisite at your home institution. You can view the locations and phone numbers of each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/departments\/\">academic department<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019d like to complete Calculus 1 (MTH 121) at UM-Flint. Our prerequisite is Pre-Calculus (MTH 120) with a grade of C or better. You would need to show proof to our mathematics department that you have successfully completed pre-calculus. Upon approval of the department chair, the Mathematics Department will enter a registration override that will allow you to register for the class in our <a href=\"http:\/\/sis.umflint.edu\/\">Student Information System<\/a> (see the instructions sent with your admission letter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a guest student, you are eligible to register for classes during open registration. You can view the semester calendar for open <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/registrar\/registration\/\">registration dates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon completion of your course(s) at UM-Flint, you will need to have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/registrar\/student-resources\/transcripts\/\">official transcript<\/a> sent to your home institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While orientation is not required for guest students, we recommend that you attend a transfer student orientation session or access the online orientation.&nbsp; If you would like information regarding transfer student orientation, please contact the Student Success Center at <a href=\"mailto:studentsuccessflint@umich.edu\">studentsuccessflint@umich.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the University of Michigan-Flint from the Student Success Center!
