Here are the details

• Transfer student will be accepted from regionally accredited colleges/universities on the basis of transcripts and satisfactory student records. Credits may be granted for most standard university courses in which grades of “C-“ or higher have been earned. Grade point averages (or honor points) are NOT accepted with the transfer of credits.
• In the evaluation of credits from institutions accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education, all general education and biblical studies, theology, and mission’s courses are accepted as transfer credits if Evangel University has generally equivalent courses. All transfer credits which exceed the maximum permitted in General Education or a major, concentration, or minor are listed on the transcript but may only be counted toward the total graduation requirement.
• Except under unusual circumstances, no student who has been suspended from another college/university may be accepted for admission until he/she is eligible for readmission at the previous school. Students who have been on probation at other colleges/universities will have the same status upon admission to Evangel University.
• No more than 64 semester hours of work may be accepted from junior colleges to apply to a degree. To assure that a graduate of EU has had opportunity to experience the distinctive philosophy of the University as well as to demonstrate overall expertise in his/her area, a student must complete at least 12 semester hours of his/her major or concentration under Evangel University guidance and approval. For Education majors, in addition to the major, no more than 50 percent of professional education courses are accepted in transfer.
• Transfer students classified as seniors must complete at least 30 semester hours of work in residence at Evangel University before qualifying for a degree. Those who transfer as Education majors are required to complete the equivalent of three semesters in residence at the University (two semesters to include a minimum of 30 semester hours plus the student teaching semester).
• See the General Graduation Requirements for the English proficiency requirement.
• From time to time, students find it necessary to transfer courses from Evangel to other institutions. In most instances, transfer of these courses proceeds without difficulty. However, in some cases, the transfer of credits can be facilitated if the courses carry a Religion (RELG) or Humanities (HUMN) prefix. In such cases, these biblical studies and theology courses may be assigned a Religion or Humanities prefix for the purpose of transferring the credits to another institution. Reassigning prefixes will be done only at the time of transfer and only at the written request of the student. Please note that this policy does not affect Evangel’s own use of prefixes or credit requirements.
