Reminders

  • The student receiving financial aid at ABAC will receive aid for the total number of hours enrolled at ABAC and/or the transient institution only after receipt of a completed Agreement provided by the transient institution.
  • The student should be aware that not all institutions enter into an agreement for transient study. The student is responsible for contacting the transient institution prior to attending to verify that the school will enter into an agreement with ABAC. Otherwise, transient hours will not be considered in determining financial aid eligibility and potential award amount.
  • The student should be prepared to pay for all expenses at the transient institution related to attendance, including tuition, fees, books, etc. Federal funds will not be available at the time of transient enrollment and registration.
  • The student eligible for HOPE Scholarship should contact the transient institution prior to attending to determine the requirements in awarding transient HOPE funds.

Incoming Transient Students (Home Institution: Not ABAC)

If you are a student from another institution and will be taking courses at ABAC as a transient student, please make sure that you have completed the financial aid process with your home institution.

Steps for Incoming Transient Students

  1. Complete the Transient Request process at your home institution.
  2. Apply for admission at ABAC.
  3. If eligible for HOPE/Zell Miller, request a HOPE Transient Certificate to be sent to ABAC from your home institution.
  4. Pay all fees dues.

NOTE: Students from another institution enrolled at ABAC as transient students and are receiving the HOPE/Zell Miller Scholarship at their home institution should contact the financial aid office at their home institution about submitting the HOPE Scholarship Certificate for Transient Study to the ABAC Office of Financial Aid.  Once the certification is received, the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship is awarded for the ABAC course(s).
