YES to Flexibility & Momentum

We Welcome Guest Students!

Whether you want to earn college credit over the summer to get ahead or take an online course that fits your schedule, becoming a guest student at The University of Akron is simple and straightforward. Students who are currently enrolled at another college or university and plan to transfer credits back to their home institution are considered guest students. And YES, we would love to have you take a class as a guest at UA!

Which Application is Best for Me?

Guest students may take courses at The University of Akron for up to two consecutive semesters and up to 16 credit hours per semester.

• If you have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent, and are currently enrolled at another college or university, apply as a guest undergraduate student.
• If you are enrolled in an undergraduate program, you should also be in good academic standing at your current institution.
• If you already have a bachelor's degree, please apply as a graduate student.

If you would like to continue after two consecutive semesters, we welcome you to apply for admission as a transfer student.
