The transfer credit standards at Emmanuel Bible College and Seminary (EBCAS) set forth clear guidelines for
how transfer credits from other institutions will be evaluated. Below is a breakdown of the key points:
1
Official Transcript Submission
The student must have their previous school send an official, sealed transcript directly to the
administration at EBCAS for evaluation.
2
Evaluation of the Institution's Quality
EBCAS will objectively assess the quality of the previous institution based on various factors, including:
Review of the student’s course syllabus and class notes.
Information is available in listings of colleges and universities.
Communication with the institution itself and others who are familiar with it.
3
Grade Requirements for Transfer
Courses with a grade of “A” or “B” will be considered for full transfer of credit.
Courses with a grade of “C” may be considered for partial or full credit, depending on the circumstances
and the course content.
– Credit Conversion:
Courses are typically measured in semester credits, but they will be converted to quarter units at EBCAS:
-1 semester unit = 1.5 quarter units.
4
Course Equivalency and Transfer Credit
Direct Equivalents: Courses that directly match EBCAS courses will transfer fully.
Similar Courses: Courses that are similar to EBCAS courses may transfer, but partial credit may be
awarded.
Related Courses: Even if courses differ from EBCAS offerings, they may transfer for partial or full credit if
they are deemed relevant and contribute toward the specific degree being pursued.
5
Minimum Residency Requirement
At least one-fourth (25%) of the units required for the degree or certificate must be earned directly at
EBCAS, ensuring a significant portion of the student’s education is completed at the institution.
6
Final Decision by the Administration
The decision made by the Transfer Administration will be final, and no further appeals or reviews will be
entertained after the committee’s determination.
