- Early Admission Applicants
Students with outstanding academic records may
enroll at the end of their junior year of high school
with the permission of their parents, a recommendation
from the high school and assurance that the high
school diploma will be granted upon satisfactory
completion of the student's freshman year in college.
 Transfer
Applicants
Transfer students from an accredited college,
university or Bible institute receive full and equitable
transfer credit unconditionally for subjects appropriate
to the curricula of the four- or five-year programs.
Certain Bible and doctrine courses are required
in residence. The amount of transfer credit is determined
upon receipt of the official
transcript(s) of completed work. In addition
to the transcript, it is sometimes necessary to
provide catalog or course descriptions from the
former college. College work currently in progress
cannot be finally evaluated until official documents
are received. In all cases, the grade earned must
be "C" or above for transfer credit. Some
provisional credit may be granted from unaccredited
colleges or universities. When the student has completed
two semesters of work at PBU with a GPA of 2.0 or
above, provisional transfer credit will be fully
accepted.
- Applicants Who Are College Graduates
In the case of applicants who have earned a
bachelor's degree from an accredited institution,
appropriate credit from the first degree is transferable
towards a second bachelor's degree from PBU; however,
a minimum of 60 PBU credits is generally required
for a PBU undergraduate degree. In most cases it
is to the applicant's advantage to elect the two-year
Bible Ministries program and receive block credit
or to enter PBU's
Graduate School. Applicants with bachelor's
degrees are exempt from the admissions test requirements
in the undergraduate programs. Students with an
earned bachelor's degree are not eligible for federal
or state grants. Student loans are obtainable based
on the student's academic classification.
- Applicants For Part-Time Status
Students enrolled for fewer than 12 credits
in the fall and spring semesters are given part-time
status and pay part-time tuition fees. They are
not permitted to live in the University dormitories.
Matriculating part-time students (those working
for a degree or certificate) are expected to complete
all of the admissions forms and the admissions test
requirements.
- Applicants For Non-Matriculant Status
Occasionally applicants who do not meet the
admissions criteria may be granted non-matriculant
status. In addition, persons who want to take select
courses but do not intend to complete a degree or
certificate program may also request non-matriculant
status. Nonmatriculant students are: (1) not required
to complete the secondary admissions forms, and
(2) not required to complete the admissions test
requirements. Nonmatriculating students may be reconsidered
for matriculation at a later date. To change their
status, they must notify the Admissions Department
and the registrar concerning their intent to graduate
and complete the admissions process. Nonmatriculant
students are not eligible for federal or state aid,
grants or loans.
- Applicants For Auditor Status
A small number of persons desiring to audit
courses for their own benefit are permitted to do
so if classroom space permits. No credit is granted
in such cases. Auditors must complete an application
but are not required to complete the secondary admissions
forms.
- International Applicants
The University is authorized under federal law
to enroll non-immigrant alien students. If you are
an international student seeking further information,
please visit the PBU International
Office page.
