TRANSFER STUDENTS

Students desiring to transfer to LIFT from other Bible institutes, colleges, and universities, must follow all the steps outlined above when applying for admission However, each course is individually evaluated before acceptance to ensure that it meets the requirements of similar offerings at LIFT. The decision to accept or reject transfer of credits rest solely with the college. For credits to be considered for transference, in addition to the high school record, the student should request the registrar of each college attended since high school graduation to send an official transcript (certified and sealed) of his/her college level work directly to the site he/she desires to attend. Once the registrar receives the certified transcript, he/she will forward it to the Dean who will work closely with the member of the appropriate department in making the final decision on transfer of credits. Only work completed with a "C" or better is transferable. The final decision on transferring credits will be made, put in writing, and sent to the registrar for inclusion in the student’s folder. The registrar will then give the student a timely response as to the acceptance/rejection of transfer of credits.
