Get Ahead This Summer
Are you interested in taking a few classes at BC? Be our guest and join us as a transient student for one or two semesters to get ahead.
If you are currently enrolled at another Postsecondary institution and have permission from that institution to take one or more classes at Broward College, and are not seeking to transfer or obtain a degree or certificate from BC, you are considered a non-degree seeking student or transient student.
A quick tip: Remember to record/save your login information as you will need it to register for classes.
The State of Florida has a portal for electronic submission through FloridaShines. To get started, select "Take a course at another school" and follow the prompts. You will not charged an application fee, but are charged a transient fee not to exceed $5 per course enrolled. This is a processing fee and you will not be refunded if you do not enroll. The form will be submitted electronically routed to the Academic Advising Office of the campus you've selected, then the Financial Aid Office and lastly the Registrar Office for verification. You will receive confirmation through the email provided on your application. Finally, you may check the status of your transient application anytime by logging back into your account through FloridaShines.
Be sure to select Enrollment Intention - To enroll in college credit courses as a non-degree seeking student or as a transient student and complete the application. Remember to record/save your login information as you will need it to register for classes.
Be sure to email your transient letter from your home institution to the email inbox for the respective campus you are attending i.e. Central, North, South, etc. Please allow 72 hours for processing.

Review Registration Steps
Please note that some BC courses may have prerequisites or co-requisites, including labs.
As a transient student, you accept full responsibility for possessing or acquiring, at the time of enrollment, the knowledge and/or skills that these pre-and co-requisites provide.
Transient students are responsible for requesting that an official transcript be sent to their home institution after completion of coursework at BC. There will be a fee assessed for that transcript.
