Orientation<\/li><\/ol><\/nav>\n\n\n<p>Welcome to the University of Michigan-Flint from the Student Success Center! 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.<br><br>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>.<br><br>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\/\"><strong>Student Information System<\/strong><\/a> (see the instructions sent with your admission letter).<br><br>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>.<br><br>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. <br><br>While orientation is not required for guest students, we recommend that you attend a transfer student orientation session or access the online orientation.\u00a0 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\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/orientation\/guest-student-orientation\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"parent":28,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-77","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/77","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/77\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":347,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/77\/revisions\/347"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
