TRANSFER STUDENTS
Classes offered at ACTS may transfer to other Bible colleges or training schools. Students who have previously completed course work at other institutions may also transfer their credits to ACTS. All transference of credits must be approved by the Academic Dean. Transfer students from other colleges, universities, and/or ministry training centers can submit their previous transcripts to the ACTS office for evaluation. The transcripts must be sent directly to the ACTS office from the appropriate school. Transfer credits will be accepted on the following basis.
ACTS must provide comparable courses in content, length, and quality to the ones being transferred. (This means that courses being transferred to ACTS need to have been graded and to have involved objective homework assignments and/or tests.)
The student must have earned at least a 2.0 grade point average in the course being transferred.
Any student requesting transfer of credits must submit a written request to the office of the Academic Dean.
EARLY ADMISSION
ACTS may accept advanced high school students who display an outstanding high school record and recommendation from the high school principal. Therefore, a qualified high school student may earn college level credits through ACTS while still attending high school.
