studies may seek advanced standing. Advanced standing allows students to take one advanced course as a substitution for a required course for which advanced standing was granted. The advanced course must be in the subject area in which advanced standing was granted and must be taken at Bethel Seminary; transferred courses cannot be used. Advanced standing is not a means to reduce the credits or time required to complete a degree at Bethel Seminary. It provides the student with a better educational experience by reducing the repetition of course content acquired in the student’s prior learning. To be eligible for advanced standing, students must contact their academic advisor and apply for faculty approval of their prior coursework. Students who have completed Greek language courses before entering the seminary will take an examination covering basic vocabulary, morphology, and elementary syntax to determine readiness for entrance into New Testament exegetical courses. Students who pass the Greek qualifying examination will then receive advanced standing in the Elementary Greek courses and will be able to select other courses in place of the basic language courses.

Transfer credits: College level courses taken outside of Bethel before students received their high school diploma or G.E.D. (e.g., CLEP, PSEO, AP) are treated as transfer credits. (Postsecondary Enrollment Options credits attempted at Bethel are treated the same as other courses taken at Bethel after receiving a high school diploma.) Transfer credits are included as both “attempted” and “completed” credits when measuring Pace, and are included in the maximum timeframe calculation. All transfer credits accepted by Bethel will be used in determining when the “maximum time frame” requirement has been reached.

Undergraduate Transfer Credit Only courses in which students earn a grade of C- or better may be transferred to Bethel. Courses taken pass/fail, credit/no credit, satisfactory/unsatisfactory do not transfer unless the official transcript indicates that a pass/fail, credit/no credit, satisfactory/unsatisfactory is equivalent to a grade of C- or higher. For satisfactory or passing grades on other schools' transcripts that are not defined as equivalent to a C- or higher, transfer credits will be awarded for the class if the instructor of record submits a letter on letterhead that indicates the student earned the equivalent letter grade of a C- or higher. Audited courses are not accepted for transfer to Bethel. Some degree programs require a higher cumulative GPA on all academic work accepted in transfer, or a higher minimum grade for courses. Please refer to specific programs to see transfer grade requirements. Grades earned in transfer courses are not included in calculating the cumulative GPA or the GPA for the major at Bethel. Courses accepted in transfer must be relevant or equivalent to courses required for the student’s program of study at Bethel. Transfer courses that do not fulfill specific courses or requirements may be brought in as electives and counted toward the total credits required for graduation. To fulfill a specific Bethel requirement at a minimum: the credits of the transfer course must be greater than 50% of the credits of the Bethel requirement (e.g., a 2-credit transfer course may not be used to fulfill a 4-credit Bethel requirement, but a 3- or 4-credit transfer course may fulfill either a 3- or 4-credit Bethel requirement). The level of the transfer course must not be more than one level above or below the Bethel course (e.g., a 100-level course may replace a 200-level course, but may not replace a 300-level course). Exceptions can be granted based on content in consultation with the Program Director or Chair. If a transfer course is not accepted for Bethel credit, the decision may be appealed. Current Bethel students studying abroad or taking courses at another college or university should obtain approval of courses to be taken prior to registering for the course. Upon completion of the course, students are responsible to ensure official transcripts are sent to the Bethel Office of the Registrar.

Upon completion of the course, students are responsible to ensure official transcripts are sent to the Bethel Office of the Registrar.

Undergraduate Transfer Credit Only courses in which students earn a grade of C- or better may be transferred to Bethel. Courses taken pass/fail, credit/no credit, satisfactory/unsatisfactory do not transfer unless the official transcript indicates that a pass/fail, credit/no credit, satisfactory/unsatisfactory is equivalent to a grade of C- or higher. For satisfactory or passing grades on other schools' transcripts that are not defined as equivalent to a C- or higher, transfer credits will be awarded for the class if the instructor of record submits a letter on letterhead that indicates the student earned the equivalent letter grade of a C- or higher. Audited courses are not accepted for transfer to Bethel. Some degree programs require a higher cumulative GPA on all academic work accepted in transfer, or a higher minimum grade for courses. Please refer to specific programs to see transfer grade requirements. Grades earned in transfer courses are not included in calculating the cumulative GPA or the GPA for the major at Bethel. Courses accepted in transfer must be relevant or equivalent to courses required for the student’s program of study at Bethel. Transfer courses that do not fulfill specific courses or requirements may be brought in as electives and counted toward the total credits required for graduation. To fulfill a specific Bethel requirement at a minimum: the credits of the transfer course must be greater than 50% of the credits of the Bethel requirement (e.g., a 2-credit transfer course may not be used to fulfill a 4-credit Bethel requirement, but a 3- or 4-credit transfer course may fulfill either a 3- or 4-credit Bethel requirement). The level of the transfer course must not be more than one level above or below the Bethel course (e.g., a 100-level course may replace a 200-level course but may not replace a 300-level course). Exceptions can be granted based on content in consultation with the Program Director or Chair. If a transfer course is not accepted for Bethel credit, the decision may be appealed. Current Bethel students studying abroad or taking courses at another college or university to meet Bethel requirements should obtain approval of courses to be taken prior to registering for the course. Upon completion of the course, students are responsible to ensure official transcripts are sent to the Bethel Office of the Registrar.
