Summary

Overview of how visiting students can register for classes at A-B Tech

Overview

You're considered a visiting student if you meet at least ONE of the following conditions:

  • You already have an Associate's degree or higher.
  • You are currently enrolled as a student at another college or university.

And you meet BOTH of the following conditions:

  • You do not intend to enroll as a full-time student (12 or more credits/semester).
  • You do not intend to pursue a degree, diploma, or certificate at A-B Tech.

Enrollment Steps for Visiting Students

If you're currently enrolled at another college/university and would like to take courses at A-B Tech to transfer back to your school, here are the steps you need to take:

  1. Check with your own college or university first to learn the necessary credit transfer process, and find out which credits from A-B Tech will be accepted.
  2. Review our course offerings and all prerequisite/placement requirements for any course you want to take at A-B Tech.
  3. Complete a general application to the College at abtech.edu/admissions.
  4. Prerequisites/placement in Math and/or English are required for some courses. If the course(s) you would like to take have these requirements, you need to consult with a Student Advisor prior to registration. Please have your unofficial transcript available to provide to your advisor upon request. You may use the online Advising Appointment Scheduler to schedule a remote appointment. Alternatively, you may come in person for walk-in advising. The Bailey Building (#5 on our campus map) is currently open Monday–Thursday from 9:00 a.m.–5:45 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m.–4:45 p.m. Walk-in advising is first-come, first-served, and there may be a wait. 
  5. Accept the Payment Agreement.
  6. Register for your desired course(s).
  7. After you complete the course(s), have A-B Tech send a copy of your transcript to your home college/university.
