Policies

Crown College has articulation agreements with various unaccredited institutions to aid in the transfer of credits. See Transfer Credit in Academic Policies for more details about the transfer process.

Transcripts are required to receive any transfer credit from previous post-secondary education (whether as a college student, PSEO student, dual-enrolled student, high school student taking college credit, etc.). Transfer students who have earned 24 or more accredited college-level credits (non-remedial) after graduating from high school are not required to submit a high school transcript for admission.

Credit for Prior Learning (AP/CLEP/DSST/IB/PLA) Matriculated students at Crown College may earn up to 30 semester credits toward bachelor degree program requirements with satisfactory results in the following approved testing programs. Associate degrees may apply 15 credits from these testing programs. These are the only proficiency testing programs that Crown College currently accepts. Students must request that official test scores be sent to Crown College. Credits by examination may not be used to raise a grade or remove a failing grade in courses already taken at Crown College. Credit application is listed below. Consult the Registrar’s Office for more details. Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations

Transfer Students: All transfer credits accepted by Crown will be used in determining when the maximum time frame requirement has been reached. Transfer credits are also used when calculating the required completion percentage.

Upon assessment of the prior learning documentation compiled within the course, students will be awarded up to six prior learning proficiency credits as general electives.

Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) - School of Professional Studies Only In some situations, students may receive college credit for life experiences and other non-academic experiences. Credits can be acquired from a number of different sources, including workshops, seminars, self-study, non-credit classes, training programs, and/or work experiences. If the training has been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE), a copy of the certificate of completion is needed and credits can be awarded based off the ACE recommendations. If they do not fall into this category, the prior learning from these sources must be documented by the student and evaluated by a faculty member in the relevant field for the credit to be awarded. A PLA information packet can be obtained from the School of Professional Studies. ( Revised Spring 2026 )

Crown professional development courses, proficiency tests, and other forms of prior learning are not considered in residence.

Transfer Credit Transfer credit from institutionally or programmatically accredited institutions as recognized by the U. S. Department of Education is evaluated on a course-by-course basis under the supervision of the College Registrar in consultation with the respective Academic Dean. Crown College accepts transfer credit in accordance with the policies below:

All academic courses in which at least a “C” grade or its equivalent has been earned may qualify for transfer up to 95 semester credits for a bachelor degree. A maximum of 45 credits will transfer toward an associate degree (see Residency Requirement ). Some departments may require a higher grade for the course to apply toward degree requirements (e.g. Articulation agreements may allow transfer credit from some unaccredited colleges. A maximum of 15 credits may be articulated toward an associate degree and a maximum of 80 credits toward a bachelor degree. The list of third-party evaluators recognized by the Higher Learning Commission may be found at www.naces.org/members . Official transcripts are required for credit to be transferred. Students are responsible to ensure official transcripts are sent to Crown and to review the application of transfer credit to their degree record at Crown. The maximum number of credits that may be transferred toward the specific major or minor core courses (e.g. When a student has earned additional transfer credits in the major core, the respective Academic Dean will specify which courses will be applied toward the Crown College major. Only courses at the 100 or 1000 level or higher will be accepted for transfer. Remedial coursework, audited classes, competency credit, CEUs and credit granted for prior learning assessments are not transferable. Students who transfer EDU 241 - Foundations of Education or EDU 316 - Educating Diverse Learners will be required to complete the standard assignments for the associated course(s) that they transfer. Transfer education courses accepted for credit that contain a field experience will be counted if the student has verification of successful completion of the field experience. If the transfer course did not contain a field experience, the course will be counted when a field experience has been successfully completed. Transfer credits that do not fulfill specific degree requirements will count as general electives and apply toward the total number of credits required for the degree. The following course has been designated by the faculty as an upper level, integrative Bible and Theology course that must be completed at Crown College: BIB 434 - Romans . Therefore, transfer credit will not be applied toward this requirement for Campus degrees.

If a student plans to utilize VA educational benefits to pay for their Crown education, they must provide: A copy of the Certificate of Eligibility (if student is/was the service member) or Transfer of Eligibility (if student’s parent or spouse is/was the service member) A copy of the DD214 if the student served and was discharged An official copy of the Joint Services Transcript (JST) or Community College of the Air Force transcript if the student served (to receive transfer credit for military training) Completed “
