Transfer of Credits Policy

Students who have attended an ABHE or regionally accredited college or university may desire to have an official transfer transcript evaluated. An official transcript must be sent directly to the Registrar’s office at Valor from the school of origin. (Student-issued copies are not official.) Valor accepts credits from an accredited college if it is a part of the student’s degree program and has a grade of a “C” or better. Upon request, the student may need to provide further documentation of course content, such as a catalog description or syllabus. Transferred credits will be designated on the student’s transcript and will not affect the GPA. There is a 20 hour maximum on nontraditional credit, which includes online and distance-education courses taken at other institutions, credit for military training, credit for life experience, and credit by examination, including CLEP and AP. Valor Christian College follows ABHE’s policy on validating credit earned at an unaccredited institution.
