Credits earned at another institution may be accepted by Free Lutheran Bible College to satisfy general education and elective requirements. This is subject to review and approval by academic administration.
All required courses, with the exception of general education courses, must be taken at FLBC. A minimum of 25 percent of total credits must be completed at FLBC. Grades and grade point averages earned at other institutions do not transfer. Quarter-hour credits will normally be converted to semester hour credit.
