Are you a student who is pursuing a degree at another college or university, but you would like to take classes at Marshall University? If so, you can apply to be a transient student at Marshall. (If this doesn’t sound like you, please visit our Admissions page for other application options.)
If you are in an undergraduate degree program at another college or university, you can apply to Marshall for up to two consecutive semesters as a transient or visiting student.
We encourage you to discover your Marshall moment—whether it’s by exploring our campus, connecting with our Admissions team, or learning about our academic programs. When you’re ready to take the next step and apply, be sure to review the admission requirements for transient (visiting) students. We can’t wait to help you embark on this exciting journey!

Applying for admission to Marshall University is easy. We provide all the steps you need to complete our undergraduate admission process to apply and be admitted as an undergraduate transient student.
Please note: As a transient student, you must submit an application to the Office of Admissions for each term in which you wish to enroll. You’ll also need to ask the registrar at your home college to send Marshall University a letter confirming your good academic standing for each term in which you wish to enroll.
When you’re ready, apply here. After you submit your completed undergraduate application, application fee, and all required admission materials, we will review your file and notify you about our admission decision.
