FAQs
Q-I'm homeschooled, what do I need to do for the transcript?
A-Yes, make sure it has the classes you took, your grades, a graduation date (not just month and year, but month, date, and year), and make sure it is signed by your parent or whomever was the official on record.
Q-I went to another college, will you take their units?
A-We are able to transfer units in from accredited or approved institutions and sometimes make exceptions for other institutions. The best way to determine if we can transfer in units would be to send official transcripts to the Registrar's office and they can tell you.
Q-Do they have to be official transcripts?
A-We will need official transcripts to formally transfer the units in, but they can give you an idea from unofficial transcripts.
Q-Is there a deadline to apply?
A-No, there is no deadline but the sooner you apply, the sooner we can get you all finished and set up for classes.

A-Yes, we do need two references for your application and none of those can be from a family member.
Q-Are you accredited?

Q-Do your units transfer?
A-Each individual institution can determine which units they will accept, regardless of accreditation. All of our units should transfer to any Christian or private college, though some may only accept regionally accredited units. Some state colleges, depending on if they accept national accreditation may accept our units. If you are planning on transferring to another school after attending here, we suggest you first speak to them to see if they accept national accreditation.
