Transient Requests
A Seminole State student requesting to attend another Florida public institution as a transient student must submit a Seminole State transient request via the Florida Virtual Campus website located at FLVC.org. Before accessing the transient form, you must create a Florida Virtual Campus account.
Note: If you would like to take transient courses at an institution not included at FLVC.org, please discuss your options with an academic advisor.
