Visiting Overview

If you're pursuing a degree at another college or university but are interested in taking classes at McNeese and transferring those credits to your home institution, you're considered a visiting student.

Note: Before you start the application process, make sure meet admission requirements.

It's important to note that, as a visiting student, your enrollment is limited to the term your application is approved for, and you are not eligible for financial aid since you are not considered degree-pursuing student at McNeese. If you want to transfer to McNeese, you will have to meet the admission requirements and apply as a transfer student.
