A transient student may be admitted without submitting an official transcript by submitting, instead, a letter of good standing or a letter of permission from the home institution’s Academic Dean or Registrar.

A transient student who wishes to submit a "letter of good standing" must email it (in PDF form) to eapadmission@uiwtx.edu .
