Taking Classes at Another Institution? You Will Need A Letter Of Transiency.
A letter of Transiency is an important step in taking courses at another institution and transferring those credits back to the University of Alabama. If you are unsure how to generate the letter, you may follow the simple steps below.
- Log in to MyBama and click on the Student tab
- In the Banner Self-Service channel, click Letter of Transiency.
- Select term, state of transient institution, and then transient institution
- A default address for that school will populate. Student should verify that this is the correct address for their purposes.
- Select Transfer Courses.
- Select the courses to be taken as a transient student and use the single arrows to move them over. The entire articulation table for the institution that was selected will be visible below the selection area for reference.
- Once you have finished selecting courses, click Continue and skip to the next step in these instructions. If the student cannot find the courses he/she wishes to take, click Courses Not Found. You will then be asked to fill out an electronic form specifying the classes to be taken. The submission of this form will generate an email that will be sent to the transfer credit area in the Registrar’s Office, where the evaluation/articulation process will begin for that new course.
- All information to be present on the transient letter will be displayed for verification. If everything looks correct, click Generate Letter of Transiency.
- The letter will be generated and displayed as a PDF file. From here, the student can choose to print the letter or save an electronic copy.
- Save a copy of your letter of transiency for your records.
DO NOT REGISTER FOR A CLASS THAT TRANSFERS AS A 197. THAT IS AN INDICATION THAT THE CLASS WILL NOT TRANSFER AS A UA EQUIVALENT.
