Transfer students are students who have earned credits for study at one university or college after high school graduation, but, for whatever reason, decide to apply to and enroll in a different institution and bring over credits they have already earned.
Transfer students are different from transient students who are enrolled in one university or college and take courses temporarily in another institution with the intention of transferring the course credit back to their home institute. “Relocation” students at 91做厙 are students who study on one campus at 91做厙 and then decide to move to another campus to complete their degree.
