University Admission 15
6. The maximum number of transferred credit hours that may be
applied toward an ACU undergraduate degree is 96.
7. A student who transfers four different exercise science activity
courses to ACU is exempt from taking EXSC 100. (The
maximum number of activity courses that may be applied
toward an ACU degree is four.)
8. Grades for transfer courses are not included in the student's
GPA at ACU.
9. See Bible Hours Required of Transfer Students for
information about how transfer hours affect general
education Bible requirements.
10. Students who transfer fewer than 22 hours that apply
toward an ACU degree are required to take University
Seminar (U 100).
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.
Bible Hours Required of Transfer Students (University Core)
1. Students with Bible transfer courses:
Students will not be required to take more than 15 hours
(or 5 courses), including transfer Bible hours/courses as long as
they meet the following distribution requirement:
* Biblical text: at least one Old and one New Testament course.
* Advanced Bible: (BGRK, BHEB, BIBD, BIBH, BIBL, BIBM, or
BMIS) at least one course.
2. Students with no Bible transfer courses:
The following calculations are based on the minimum number
of hours required for an ACU degree (128 hours). The number
of Bible hours for students with majors requiring more than
128 hours is based on the 128-hour minimum requirement.

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.
