Transfer - If you have earned a high school diploma, GED or Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) and have taken a college course or courses at another college, we consider you a transfer student.
Transient - If you are currently attending another college or university but plan to take a class or more at New River CTC to transfer back to your home school, we consider you a transient student.
Special - If you wish to take college credit courses for personal enrichment or job improvement and not for the purposes of pursuing a Certificate of Applied Science, Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science Degree, you may enroll as a special (non-degree or certificate seeking) student.
