Transfer Credit:

Applicants from Bible Colleges, accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), formerly the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges (AABC), may be considered for advanced standing. Consideration will be based on:

• Two years study is required for applicants who did not previously complete the necessary minimum requirements for admission to the university (high school transcript may be required)
• A minimum of a B- grade must have been attained in the appropriate course(s) for transfer credit consideration
• Only academic courses will be granted credit; no credit will be granted for courses related to church education or administration, pastoral studies, counselling, or courses intended to promote doctrinal or denominational belief.
• Credit may be permitted at the first or second year level only

The assessment of transfer credit towards the first two years of an undergraduate degree at Lakehead University does not constitute recognition of a completed degree from an accredited bible college for purposes of admission to any post-baccalaureate degree program. The assignment of transfer credits to a specific degree program is at the discretion of the admitting authority of the faculty or academic department concerned.
