REGISTRATION AND EVALUATION FEES

The Registration/Student Evaluation fee is $75.00, non-refundable. This total remittance of $75.00 may be paid by check or money order (payable to: CBCS). Fees MUST accompany your application. There will be a service charge of $30 on all returned checks. There are no additional charges for: matriculation, life credits, diplomas/degrees, transcripts (2), graduation fees, or any other "miscellaneous fees."

TRANSFER CREDITS

The Christian Bible College and Seminary will accept all transfer academic credits you have earned from other Theological schools.* The Faculty Review Board will also evaluate credits from secular schools, and acknowledge career based life/work/ministry experience. You may have years of part time work in Christian service which would be of credit value.

*Note: Your transcripts from schools attended should accompany the application, but they may be requested - in writing (Federal Law) - to be mailed to the CBCS Registrar.

EVALUATION FOR LIFE EXPERIENCE CREDITS

Traditional colleges and Accrediting Agencies have established the following guidelines for the maximum credit received for life/work/ministry:

Associate Degree - 50% or 45 credit hours
Bachelor Degree - 25% or 30 credit hours
Master Degree - 10% or 10 credit hours
Doctoral Degree - 60 academic credit hours required, no l/w/m credits

There is no charge for transfer credits to CBCS. Certificates, diplomas, grades, CEU credits and U.S. Military Service are also given consideration. One may have more academic/life experience credits than the minimum required - many applicants do. But no matter the number of l/w/m credits it is the policy of CBCS (and Missouri Educational Statutes) that the student must satisfactorily complete a minimum of one semester (15 credits) to earn the desired degree. The Faculty Review Board will carefully evaluate your application and promptly send a competent, qualified evaluation report. These credits can only be given once upon admission to the school.
