ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
Applicants for whom English is a second language must achieve a score of at least 61 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT) or provide substantial evidence of English proficiency. All exceptions to TOEFL testing must be specifically approved. (Scores can be sent directly to AC by using the college code #5703.)
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
The College is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. International applicants who are accepted must qualify for the appropriate U.S. visa program and meet all federal requirements in order to attend. International applicants are expected to follow the same admission procedures as other applicants and must provide evidence of scholastic ability, have an adequate command of the English language, and possess the means to finance college expenses. International student applicants should note that the federal government regulates the types and periods of student employment. The regulations generally do not allow spouses or dependents of international students to be employed while in the United States.
All applicants who do not have a passport prior to applying to AC should begin the process of applying for a passport immediately after submitting their application to the Office of Admissions. If accepted, you will not be able to file the necessary paperwork federal regulations require for lawful admittance to the U.S. until you have received a valid passport from your local government.
RE-ADMISSION
Students who have failed to register, have been dropped, or have withdrawn from classes need to fill out an application for re-admission at the admissions office. Students may be re-admitted to fall, spring or summer semesters. (When, Where, How)
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Individuals who are not seeking diplomas are welcome to take classes offered at AC. Ordinarily, a non-diploma seeking student will register for one to six credit hours; students desiring to take additional course work must seek approval through the Office of the Registrar. There is no additional application process for special students other than registering for classes. If an applicant is not allowed to take a class for any reason, he will be notified by the Registrar. Payment deadlines will be given prior to registration.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
The Office of the Registrar will determine if courses completed at degree-granting institutions of higher learning are transferable. All transferred credits must meet the curriculum requirements of AC. The Office of the Registrar determines which, if any, credits from foreign institutions are transferable on an individual basis. Certain section scores on college entrance exams may allow for a student to transfer in credit.
Credit is usually not accepted from business schools, nursing schools, trade schools or other similar institutions. Transfer credits do not apply toward the cumulative grade point average achieved at AC. Credits for theology courses typically are not transferable, but will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
It is possible for students who have numerous transfer credits from other institutions to complete the four-year curriculum in three years. Students should transfer all credits prior to the conclusion of the first year of enrollment at AC to ensure that the proper academic course is followed.
All students who wish to transfer credits will need to meet with the Registrar to discuss possible options and to ensure that the residence requirements are met.
Transfer of credits from Herbert W. Armstrong College to other institutions is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
