2023-2024 Capital Seminary & Graduate School Handbook

Transfer

Students transferring from theological seminaries or graduate institutions with accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education will be given advanced standing to the extent that their credits approximate the curriculum of Capital Seminary & Graduate School. Transfer credit is limited to those courses which are applicable to the program in which the student is enrolled and to those courses in which the minimum grade is earned. Programs also have limits on the number of transfer credits allowed and the age of the credits. See the program pages for program specific information. Only the credit is transferred; the grade and grade points are not figured in the student's grade point average.

Students intending to enroll in a course at another higher educational institution for transfer credit to LBC | Capital should check with the Registrar’s Office prior to enrollment in the course to determine the appropriateness of the institution for transfer credit and the suitability of the course to the student’s program. Transfer credits will not be added to a student’s record until an official transcript documenting the course is received by the Registrar’s Office.

The policy on repeating courses in order to improve the student’s grade point average does not apply to transfer credit.
