Transfer Credits
If a student desires to use course work for transfer credit into another school or college,
he or she must be aware of the following:
- Each school determines its own policy for accepting transfer credits into its programs
- Normally, to qualify for credit in another school, the course work considered for transfer must duplicate
course work the current school offers
- To transfer credit from one school to another, an official transcript of completed courses must be submitted.
This is a transcript sent from one school official to another.
A school may respond to your request for credit by:
- Accepting the credit claimed (often the school will not give full value)
- Accept the credit when you pass a test covering the subject matter
- Not accepting the credit claimed
If you intend to transfer credit from one institution to another, please do so in a timely manner. Additionally
find out if the school will accept the credits you desire to transfer and be aware that each school has its own rules and
no institution will transfer credits for you unless all the financial obligations have been satisfied.

CHAPEL ASSIGNMENTS
Students are scheduled to speak in chapel every month and are frequently encouraged to participate
through song, scripture readings and prayer etc… A student is never allowed to ignore an assignment. All students are
required to attend and participate in chapel services as assigned by the instructors.
If you do not fulfill your assignments when called upon to do so, your name will be placed on the BUNKER’S
LIST. Your name will be removed from this list only after you perform two consecutive speaking
assignments. Chapel is not an option. It is mandatory! You must attend chapel in order to receive a passing grade.
