To request a transfer credit evaluation, please submit your official transcripts from the institution(s) you have attended. No official evaluation can be made without official transcripts. In some cases, you may be asked to provide additional information about your coursework in order to complete the evaluation.

The Registrar evaluates each course or documented training experience individually to determine whether it is comparable in content, academic level, quality, and scope to CCBC coursework and whether it applies to the requirements of the student’s declared program. Submission of a transcript or training record does not guarantee that credit will be awarded. Military education or occupational training that is not equivalent or applicable to CCBC’s biblical studies degree requirements will be reviewed and documented but will not receive credit.

When prior credit is appropriate, it will be entered on the student’s academic record and applied to the applicable degree requirement. The student’s remaining program requirements will be reduced accordingly, and the student will not be required to repeat a course or requirement already satisfied by accepted prior credit. The student will receive written notice identifying the records reviewed, the credit accepted, how the credit applies to the program, and the requirements that remain. If no credit is awarded, the written evaluation will document that determination.

General Studies Courses: Students who have completed general studies courses through accredited institutions and wish to transfer credits must have their official transcripts sent to CCBC for review by the Registrar. Technical, non-academic courses are not acceptable for transfer, nor are courses that are below college level.

Bible, Theology, and Christian Life & Ministry Courses: Students who have studied the Bible, Theology, or Christian Living and Ministry at other institutions and wish to transfer credits to CCBC must have their official transcripts sent to CCBC for review by the Registrar. Course syllabi may be requested as part of the review. Courses will be examined individually and must be deemed identical or very similar in content to courses offered at CCBC.

Affiliate Schools: Bible and Ministry courses completed at a recognized affiliate of Calvary Chapel Bible Schools may be transferred into our Associate or Bachelor Degree Programs for an additional fee. 

International Transfer Credits: Students who have completed secondary or postsecondary education outside of the United States and desire to pursue a degree must submit an evaluation of foreign credentials from an evaluating agency. Please allow ample time for processing. Any non-English documents must be accompanied by a certified English translation, including a course-by-course evaluation. Commonly used international evaluation companies include WES (World Education Services) and ECE (Foreign Credential Evaluators).

Alternative Learning Credits:
CCBC does not award academic credit for life or ministry experience or through ACE credit recommendations, CLEP examinations, or AP examinations. Official college coursework shown on a military transcript may still be considered under CCBC’s ordinary transfer-credit standards.

VA Education Benefits:
Students using VA education benefits must submit all applicable prior college and military education and training records in sufficient time for the evaluation to be completed before CCBC certifies their enrollment to the VA. CCBC will certify only the courses and requirements that remain necessary for completion of the student’s approved program.

Total Transfer Credit Count:
Total transfer credit may not exceed 75 percent of the credits required for a CCBC degree program. Students must complete at least 25 percent of their degree requirements through CCBC.

CCBC Prior to Fall 1989: Degrees cannot be granted for courses completed before CCBC was authorized to grant degrees (i.e., prior to the fall of 1989). Thus, Certificates of Completion from Calvary Chapel Bible School cannot automatically be exchanged for an Associate or Bachelor’s degree from CCBC. Students with earlier coursework must submit their records for evaluation and satisfy all applicable current graduation requirements.

Continuing to the Bachelor of Biblical Studies: Students who have completed a diploma or associate’s degree at CCBC in the past may transfer in courses and/or complete additional coursework at CCBC to continue toward a Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree, under the requirements of the current Academic Catalog. Program requirements completed by students who graduated with earlier degrees may not perfectly align with the current Academic Catalog, and students may need to take additional courses to complete the new degree programs.
