We can help expedite your enrollment. Follow the instructions below and let us know immediately if you need any help. Be sure to mention Summer Enrollment. .

Follow the 5 steps below and you'll be attending classes before you know it!

Step 1: Apply to 91¿ì»îÁÖ

The easiest step of the whole process is to simply APPLY!

Step 2: We Need a Few Things From You

Since you are coming to us from another institution and you wish to transfer back, we need a completed Transient Form from your home institution. This form should be provided by your home institution. Once you have completed the form submit it to us at admissions@fdtc.edu.

Step 3: Financial Aid

Transient students seeking financial aid for attendance at 91¿ì»îÁÖ must contact their home institution (The "home institution" is the college that will issue your degree). Your home institution will determine financial aid eligibility.

The transient student should take the following procedures when setting up payment arrangements:

  • Follow through with the home institution to ensure payment will be made to 91¿ì»îÁÖ.
  • Contact 91¿ì»îÁÖ's Business Office to see if funds have been forwarded from your home institution, and complete necessary paperwork.

IMPORTANT:  Complete the steps above quickly so that the funds can be processed before classes are purged at 91¿ì»îÁÖ.  Due to processing time, it is possible that you may be required to pay your fees before aid is available.  If you do plan to pay for the courses, you must pay the fees at 91¿ì»îÁÖ's Business Office.

91¿ì»îÁÖ Students Attending Another Institution

91¿ì»îÁÖ students wanting to take classes at another college must take the following steps:

  • Complete a transient/consortium agreement and Transient Permission Form.  This must be approved by your academic advisor and the Registrar.
  • After approval and completion of the first page of the transient agreement, the second page of the form must be completed by the college one plans to attend.
  • Submit the completed form to 91¿ì»îÁÖ's Financial Aid Center.

YOU CANNOT RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID FROM TWO INSTITUTIONS DURING THE SAME SEMESTER.  THE FINANCIAL AID CAN ONLY BE DISBURSED FROM ONE INSTITUTION WITH A COMPLETED TRANSIENT AGREEMENT.

Step 4: Access Your New Accounts

It's now time to access your student email, my91¿ì»îÁÖ Self-Service, and your Desire2Learn(D2L) accounts. 

We will be sending you all the directions you need to access these accounts so don't worry. You should receive this information the following business day after submitting your application.

If you have any trouble accessing these accounts once you have received your sign in information, reach out to our IT Help Desk at 843.661.8123 and they will make sure you can get in.

Step 5: Monitor and Verify

Great! You now have access to your my91¿ì»îÁÖ Self-Service account. We need you to monitor your account to verify that you have been registered for your selected courses. If the courses do not appear on your account within 3 business days of submitting your transient form, please contact our Academic & Career Advising Center.
