TRANSFER STUDENTS
Transfer students will be considered for admission on the presentation
of a satisfactory transcript of prior college work and a statement of
good standing from the institution of prior attendance.
TRANSFER OF CREDIT POLICIES
It is the policy of the college to consider for transfer credits earned in a
regular college or university or other college-level institution. Courses
acceptable for transfer must be similar in content to those replaced in
the chosen major at Fairhaven Baptist College. Courses which are not
similar may be transferred as general electives, provided they meet all
the transfer of credit policies.
Only those credits which carry a grade of at least C or its equivalent
may be transferred.
