Transfer Credit

All City Vision College courses are available to anyone with a high school diploma or the equivalent.   The college must recieve office proof of graduation in the form of a high school or college transcript or GED certificate.

Because City Vision College does not offer a four year program, students who enroll in the degree completion program.must bring transfer credits from other accredited institutions of higher learning that are recognized by the US Department of Education.  It is the student's responsibility to contact academic institutions at which they have studied to ask them send an official copy of his or her transcript directly to the City Vision College registrar's office.  These must be official transcripts issued by the college or university.  Photocopies will be accepted.

To obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in Missions students must have a total of 120 total college credits.  The maximum number of transfer credits which can be accepted for the bachelor's degree is 90.  The final 30 credits must be made up of courses offered by City Vision College, each of which is worth 3 credits. See the Transfer Credit Course Classification page to determine how specific courses count toward the college's degree requirements.

Transfer credit is granted only for courses in which the equivalent to City Vision College’s standard for a “C” (average) or better has been earned, and which fit the college's academic program requirements. Courses in which a grade of “pass” is received must be certified by the school as being equivalent to City Vision College’s standard for a “C” or higher in order to be accepted in transfer.

Transcripts and official documents must be in English or be accompanied by an official translation into English.  Where official transcripts are unobtainable due to circumstances beyond the student’s control, City Vision College may accept for review a valid affidavit that substantiates the student’s academic record.  In all cases, City Vision College reserves the right to determine whether it will accept transfer credits from another academic institution.

The table below lists members of the Higher Education Transfer Alliance which have agreed to take transfer credit from City Vision College as an DETC accredited institution.  If your school is not on this list, that does not mean that they will not accept transfer credit, only that there is not a previous agreement.  The DETC reports that of students attempting to transfer to a regionally accredited school about two-thirds of them were accepted.
