5. No more than 66 semester hours of credit from a community,
junior or other two-year college may be applied toward an ACU
degree.
6. The maximum number of transferred credit hours that may be
applied toward an ACU undergraduate degree is 96.
7. A student who transfers three different exercise science activity
courses to ACU is exempt from taking EXSC 100. (The
maximum number of activity courses required for an ACU degree
is three.) Extra exercise science courses may count as general
electives: activities (limited to two 1-hour courses) and lectures
(unlimited).
8. Grades for transfer courses are not included in the student's GPA
at ACU.
9. A course that carries more credit than the corresponding ACU
course or requirement is counted as equivalent; the additional
hours are counted as elective credit.
10. Incoming students transferring to ACU who have been full
time students at other institutions, will have university Bible
requirements changed based on the number of hours credited to
their ACU degrees as specified in the following table:
Transfer hours Bible hours Courses required
credited to ACU required for
degree ACU degree
0-29 14 BIBL 101, 102, 211,
elective, 440
30-79 11 BIBL 101, 102, 211, 440
80 or higher 8 BIBL 101, 211, 440
Note for art majors: Credit hours transferred toward a degree in art
shall not exceed one-half of the credit hours within the major. A
minimum of 24 of the total advanced hours in studio areas required for
the BFA must be done at ACU.
Transferring Credit from Institutions that are Not Regionally
Accredited
Students wishing to transfer courses to ACU from institutions that are
not regionally accredited must:
* Complete one semester as a full-time student at ACU with a GPA
of at least 2.5.
* Provide course descriptions and academic credentials of each
instructor for the courses that are to be considered
for transfer.
* Request a transfer reevaluation after their first semester
at ACU.
During their first semester at ACU, students will qualify for financial
aid based only on the number of hours previously earned at regionally
accredited institutions, if any. After one semester financial aid
eligibility will be recalculated, upon request, and based on the total
number of hours that have been awarded under this policy.

Former ACU Student (Readmission)

Web: www.acu.edu/readmissionAll students who leave the University for more than one long semester
must apply for readmission. All students who leave the University on
academic probation or suspension or with disciplinary concerns mustapply for readmission. Their cases will be taken before the University
Readmission Committee to determine their eligibility to return to
ACU. Decisions made by the committee are made based on a variety
of factors, looking at the holistic view of the student, rather than just
one factor. The decision of the University Readmission Committee is
final. Those students on academic suspension from another institution
will not be eligible for readmission to ACU.
Students wanting to apply for readmission should refer to the
Readmission Form and Instructions page at www.acu.edu/ readmission
for instructions and the application forms. Note that the deadlines for
applying each semester will be strictly enforced.

Students who already have attained a baccalaureate degree (either
from ACU or another accredited institution) and wish to work toward
a second baccalaureate degree must apply for admission to the
University.
Students applying to ACU in this category will be required to provide
copies of all college transcripts, as well as all other admissions
documents that are required for other undergraduate students. Students
seeking a second baccalaureate degree will be required to meet the
university requirements for the degree they are pursuing and must have
at least 24 hours in addition to the work completed for their first
degree.

Students who want to take courses for academic credit but are not
seeking a degree from ACU may be admitted on a semester-by-
semester basis as transient, or non-degree, students. This provision
applies, for example, to students enrolled in another college, qualified
high school students, and visiting summer students. Transient
applicants must:
1. Complete a Special Student Application, available in the
Registrar's Office or online at www.acu.edu/registrar.
2. Submit an official high school or college transcript.
3. High school students must also submit a letter of permission from
a high school counselor or principal.
Students from other institutions are urged to confer with their own
advisor before enrolling at ACU. Students who have a baccalaureate
degree but want to take additional undergraduate courses must apply
through the Graduate School.
Non-degree students who later decide to continue their work at ACU
must apply for admission to a degree program following published
procedures. The fact that they have been admitted to non-degree status
for one or more semesters does not guarantee their admission to a
degree program at ACU.
