Transfer students seek admission to the University in the same manner as entering freshmen. It will be helpful, therefore, for every prospective transfer student to read the general requirements for admission and the requirements for freshman admission.
Transferring Credits
The transfer student himself is responsible to see that transcripts of all previous high school and college-level work are sent directly from each institution attended to Bob Jones University. All such transcripts should be requested at the time of application to the University since the application cannot be processed until all records are in order. Transcripts are not accepted from students.
Acceptance of Transfer Credits
All transfer credits are accepted on a provisional basis, which means that they do not become a part of the student's permanent record until he has successfully completed one semester of resident study leading toward a degree from the University. To validate the credit on any transcript, a student is expected to earn the same grades or better in residence at Bob Jones University.
Value of Transfer Credits
Bear in mind that the academic year in Bob Jones University is divided into 2 semesters of 16 weeks each and that the unit of credit is the semester hour. Quarter hours are converted into semester hours at the ratio of 3:2--that is, 3 quarter hours equal 2 semester hours. While every effort is made within the regulations to give the transfer student full value of his previous work, no fractional credits are recorded and course credits of a fragmentary nature are disallowed.
Military Service
A limited amount of credit may be allowed for training programs followed in military service, provided this work is in line with baccalaureate requirements. Any veteran desiring an evaluation of such work must have his official transcript forwarded directly from the proper authorities to the Registrar of BJU.
Credit is allowed on the basis of the recommendation in the manual,
A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.
