Transfer Policy

The Seminary grants transfer credits for previous work from colleges or universities according to the following guidelines:

1. Only courses with grade ‘C' or better will be transferred for credit. The grades for transfer courses are averaged with the student's GPA while at the Seminary.
2. In order to qualify for transfer credits, courses must parallel requirements of the respective Seminary program of study, and course work must be comparable.
   1. Transfer of Bible courses will be based on comparable theological/doctrinal perspectives.
   2. No more than 75% of Bible courses (Old Testament, New Testament, Hermeneutics, and Theology) in any Seminary program can be transferred.
3. Transfer students must complete a minimum of 30 hours in residence for graduation.
4. Courses taken at other institutions (including correspondence courses) while a student is enrolled at the Seminary require prior approval by the registrar.
5. A transfer applicant must have left his/her previous institution in good standing. A student who has been dismissed or suspended from another college for disciplinary reasons must submit a letter from the dean of the college, giving the reason for dismissal. In addition, any debts with former institutions must be settled before credit is granted at the Seminary.
6. Official transcripts of all former institutions must be received by the Registrar's office prior to approval for admittance.
7. Transfer students must meet all of the general admissions requirements listed above
