Transient and
TechOnline Students
|
You have come to
this page because you plan to enroll as an
online transient student or a
TechOnline
transient student. This means that you
are currently pursuing a degree at another
college but choose to take some classes at
PTC. You might wish to check to see if
your college is a member of the
TechOnline
Consortium of Colleges sharing courses. If
your college is a hosting member and your course
is listed for your college's students, you may
take this course as a student at your home
college and add this course on to your local
tuition or financial aid (if you have not yet
exceeded 12 hours constituting a full-time
load). If this page does not apply to you,
please try one of our other
Distance Learning options.
