Information on Credit Transfer

Any student desiring to take Seminary Extension courses in order to transfer them to another school should contact the receiving institution of choice before enrolling with Seminary Extension.

Students must meet all the enrolment qualifications and take a monitored final examination provided by Seminary Extension in order for a class to qualify for transfer credit.

When Seminary Extension sends a transcript, it is up the receiving institution to evaluate the transcript to determine how much, if any, course credit they will accept.

Requesting a Transcript

Seminary Extension will issue transcripts to other educational institutions upon receipt of a signed, written request from the student along with a $10.00 fee. Grades and courses are shown, with a recommendation of semester hours. Transcript requests cannot be taken by telephone. A request must be received in writing directly from the student, along with the fee for this service, before a transcript can be issued. Upon request from the student, an unofficial record of courses completed will be sent to students and (up to 2) designated agencies at no additional charge. In order to assure the timely issuance of a transcript, all tests and assignments must be received by Seminary Extension at least three weeks prior to the date that a transcript is required. This deadline is important to allow us enough time to get your work graded and entered into our system.

Credit from Other Sources

Outside credit acceptance toward a certificate in Church Work
Seminary Extension does not transcript the Level One courses used in our Certificate in Church Work program, and will not accept outside credit toward this certificate program.
 
Outside credit acceptance toward other certificate and diploma programs

Seminary Extension may accept, by transcript, a limited amount of course credit toward a certificate in one of our eight-course certificate programs. Based on an evaluation of the student’s official transcript, we will accept a maximum of four courses from an institution accredited by a Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) approved accreditation agency. Seminary Extension will also evaluate, on an individual basis, credits from non-accredited schools and accept them as deemed appropriate by the Registrar and Director.

Seminary Extension may also accept, by transcript, course credit toward a diploma in one of our sixteen-course programs. Based on an evaluation of your official transcript, we will accept a maximum of eight courses from an institution accredited by a Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) approved accreditation agency. Seminary Extension will also evaluate, on an individual basis, credits from non-accredited schools and accept them as deemed appropriate by the Registrar and Director.

Transcripts evaluated for transfer must be received in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution, must be signed by the institution’s registrar, must bear a school seal, and have the date of issuance. The student should inform Seminary Extension that the transcript is coming. They should also indicate the Seminary Extension program in which they are interested.

Our Relationship with Other SBC Institutions
Although Seminary Extension is incorporated under the SBC Council of Seminary Presidents, our programs are separate from the undergraduate programs offered by individual SBC seminaries. Like all other undergraduate institutions, they are not required to accept Seminary Extension credits towards their undergraduate degrees but may choose to do so when deemed appropriate. Therefore, students should contact the institution into which they may wish to transfer Seminary Extension credits before enrolling.
