Policies

Only when the official transcript is received will the awarded transfer credit(s) be given. The transfer of credits is subject to the following limitations: 1) Credits from other institutions may be transferred, provided they originate from an institution that is accredited either regionally or nationally by an agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). 3) Appeals of transfer credit must be submitted in writing to the Registrar.

No more than 30 hours of unaccredited college credit will be allowed to transfer. 8) Academic credits will not be transferred from a known degree mill as defined by CHEA (chea.org). If no prior permission has been given to take a course at another institution, the course in question may not be allowed to be transferred in for credit. Credit by Examination: High school students may receive up to 15 semester hours of credit through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the Advanced Placement Examination (provided the grade is 3 or better).

Therefore, final awards cannot be determined until final official transcripts are received by the Admissions Office for all transfer credits attempted.

Transfer Credits: Students who have attended other colleges and universities are required to submit academic transcripts for all previously-attempted coursework, even if no credits were earned. Once transfer credits are recorded, the Financial Aid Office will perform a SAP evaluation to determine eligibility for financial aid. For SAP purposes, only transferred credits that apply to the current degree program will be included in the Completion Rate and Maximum Time Frame elements of the evaluation.

The receiving institution will determine acceptance of SFWBC coursework for transfer of credit.

Transfer credits may be applied to these electives if they meet the learning outcomes and are approved by the Academic Dean. Additional Notes • Transfer-Friendly: The Interdisciplinary Studies Minor is designed to incorporate compatible transfer credits, reducing the likelihood of lost hours for students coming from other programs or institutions. • Advisement: Students interested in the Interdisciplinary Studies Minor should speak with the Bible Department Chair or their assigned advisor early in their degree plan to maximize transfer credits and ensure proper course selection.
