    Transfer Credits

    Acacia University recognizes the previous coursework of an admitted student by awarding credit for courses that have been earned at another accredited institution and that are documented through a transcript from that institution. Transfer credits must be applicable to the student’s degree program at Acacia. Acacia University may award transfer credits amounting to no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the credits required for the student’s program at Acacia. Courses accepted for transfer credit must be relevant to the Acacia program of study, equivalent in both content and degree level, and not more than ten years old. A student may appeal the ten-year limit by demonstrating that the content, relevance, rigor, and currency of the courses in question are comparable to courses within the current Acacia program of study. Appellants must present the transcript showing the courses and submit a written appeal to the Dean, who will review the case and make a recommendation to the Provost. The decision of the Provost is final. Credits from a course of study pursued at another institution can be considered for transfer at Acacia if the above criteria are met. Credits earned for one degree at Acacia University can be used for an additional degree at Acacia only with the approval by the Dean and the Provost. The maximum number of prior Acacia credits is nine, and the courses must correspond in content and rigor to the level of the second degree.

    The Registrar of the University has discretion over the granting of transfer credits, with oversight by the respective Dean and the Provost. Acacia University has full discretion to accept or reject transfer credits from other institutions. Students should be aware that credits earned at Acacia University may or may not be accepted by another institution, depending upon its own programs, policies, and regulations. Students planning to use credits from Acacia University as transfer credits for a degree in another institution should contact the Admissions Office of that institution in advance of applying.

    Payment Policies

    Tuition and fees are payable at the time of registration for each course. Students will not receive official grade reports, transcripts, or be awarded a degree until all financial obligations have been met. Students who have outstanding financial obligations to Acacia University will not be permitted to register for future courses unless special arrangements have been approved through the Finance Office.

    Students may pay by check, money order, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). International students must pay with U.S. currency. Students whose employers will be invoiced for tuition shall submit a billing authorization form prior to the second week of class in lieu of course payment.

    Military tuition assistance (TA) students may be eligible for a deferral of tuition once their DA 2171 Form has been completed, authorized, and received by Acacia University
