ADMISSIONS

General Transfer Student Admission Policy

A transfer student is defined as any student who has previously matriculated as a degree candidate at another institution and has earned or is earning college-level academic credit at the undergraduate/graduate level.

Students applying for transfer to Jubilee University must follow the admission procedures. Official college transcripts from all schools attended must be sent directly from the previously attended college(s) to:

Jubilee University
Attn: Admissions
1880 Washington Ave
Lexington, MO 64067-1708
United States of America

Coursework transferred or accepted for credit toward any JU degree must be relevant to the degree program, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled in this university’s own degree programs. In assessing and documenting equivalent learning and qualified faculty, JU personnel consult official institutional catalogs and employ recognized guides which aid in the evaluation for credit.

Such guides include those published by the American Council on Education, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), and the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs, or such services as are provided by AACRAO or the World Education Services (WES).

Jubilee accepts transfer credit from other accredited educational institutions subject to the following general criteria:

UNDERGRADUATE

A minimum grade of “C”(or equivalent); courses graded “pass/fail” are not transferred unless it is stipulated on the transcript that a “pass” required a grade of “C” (2.0) or above;
No more than 75 percent of the units or credits awarded by another accredited institution may be applied toward the award of a Bachelor's degree of Jubilee University.
Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) Exams.

Students are granted one full course credit (4 quarter units) for any Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level Exam on which an appropriate score has been earned (for AP, a score of 4 or 5; for IB, a score of 6 or 7), within transfer limits for each degree level. (Other equivalent exams, such as the Swiss matura or the British A-levels, are also available for one course credit, when completed with an equivalent score). Credit is not granted for exams that duplicate each other, such as AP and IB English Literature.

AP and IB credit is treated like transfer credit. AP credit will be recorded as “Pass” on Jubilee University grade reports and transcripts. Transfer students wishing to receive course credit for AP exams must request AP transcripts be sent to Jubilee University, or submit official college transcripts that clearly indicate the AP subject for which the student was awarded credit by the transferring institution.

GRADUATE

A minimum grade of “B”(or equivalent); courses graded “pass/fail” are not transferred unless it is stipulated on the transcript that a “pass” required a grade of “B” (3.0) or above;
No more than 20% of graduate semester units or the equivalent in quarter units awarded by another accredited institution may be transferred for credit toward a Master's degree of Jubilee University

Transfer Credit Aware Requirements:

Transfer credit is awarded based on specific requirements:

Credit must be awarded from an official college or university transcript, from an official Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test score report, or from an official document considered equivalent to a transcript by the Registrar.
Courses taken in a college or university in a continuing education or extension program must be applicable toward the degree being pursued by full-time students at that institution.
Only equivalent level course work will be accepted toward their respective degrees.
Previously awarded transfer credit will be deducted if coursework is repeated.
Jubilee University does not award credit for experiential education.
Jubilee University has not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other college or university.
Courses that are over 10 years old are not transferred directly to Jubilee University unless the courses are part of a baccalaureate or associate degree. However, credits that are over 10 years old may be validated by the student’s successful completion (“C” or better) of a recent upper level college course in the discipline.
Students seeking to transfer credit from institutions outside the United States and Canada are subject to having their transcripts reviewed by a credentials evaluation service as a guide for transfer credit evaluation.

Jubilee University reserves the right to notify applicants that they must have their non U.S. academic
transcripts evaluated by an academic transcript evaluation agency using a course-by-course report. Jubilee
prefers that transcripts be evaluated by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions
Officers (AACRAO). In such cases, credit and placement decisions are based on recommendations of AACRAO.
(Credentials evaluation reports are the financial responsibility of the applicant.)

Transfer Grades

A student’s grade point average at Jubilee University is based only on courses completed at this institution. The Jubilee University grade point average is used to determine academic standing and graduation.
Transfer grade equivalents will be determined and recorded with the student’s transfer credit. Credit will be awarded for courses in which a “C” or higher was earned.
Transfer grades and grade point averages are assigned on the basis of the Jubilee University grading policy. For courses taken at institutions that use combined grades (e.g., “AB”), the lower grade will be used.
Courses taken at institutions that use a grading system not comparable to the Jubilee University grading system will be evaluated with the transfer grade equivalents of Pass or Not Pass. “Withdraw failing” grades are calculated in a student’s transfer grade point average as “F” grades.
When fractions are accumulated and awarded as general electives, grade points are accumulated in similar fashion. For example, a student who took one four quarter hour course with an “A” and two four quarter hour courses with a “B” would receive general elective credit (to compensate for fractions) for two credit hours and six grade points.

Credit Hour Equivalencies

The credit hour minimums are based on courses from quarter calendar institutions. If a course at another institution is offered for fewer credit hours than an equivalent course at Jubilee University, the student will be given transfer credit for the equivalent course at Jubilee University but only for the number of credit hours earned at the other institution. In such cases, the student may need to take an additional course to fulfill credit hour requirements.
When semester credit is converted to quarter hour equivalents, a conversion factor of two-thirds is used. When conversions result in fractions, credit granted per course is reduced to the nearest whole number. Fractions are accumulated and reduced to the nearest whole number, and general elective credit is awarded for that total. Instances of Fraud Anyone found to have been admitted to Jubilee University on the basis of false information will be immediately dismissed and will forfeit all financial payments made and academic credits accumulated during all periods of enrollment following that admission.
