Kenneth Copeland Bible College Equivalency Credit

ACU Credit Policy 2023-2024

The University has a signed MOU with Kenneth Copeland Bible College (KCBC) to transfer in courses from KCBC on a limited basis. ACU acknowledges that while KCBC is not an institutionally accredited institution, it is an institution that aligns with ACU’s mission and statement of faith. It is the responsibility of the student to determine if such transfer courses will be acceptable for graduate programs or any other past-baccalaureate programs to which the student intends to apply.

Below is the course mapping for classes that are approved to transfer in for ACU courses from Kenneth Copeland Bible College. Please note that any classes not on this list will be transferred in as general electives.

Transfer Credit

Students with 28 or more transferable credits toward their degree may apply 3 credit hours of transfer credit toward the ACU required LIA101 class. This may be any 3 credit class (or combination of classes) from KCBC that are transferable but not applied elsewhere in the student’s chosen program.

ACU will accept KCBC transfer credits towards lower division Bible Minor and Humanities classes, regardless of the major chosen (including Biblical Studies and Christian Ministries majors). ACU may apply transfer credit to the following general education and Bible course requirements:

• HUM 201 The Human Narrative I
• HUM 202 The Human Narrative II
• BIB 100 Introduction to the Bible and Biblical Interpretation
• BIB 221 The Relational God -A Study of the Divine Covenants
• BIB 222 Image Bearers – Humanity’s Story

If the applied transfer classes are Bible classes from KCBC, then the student will qualify for the Bible Minor at ACU.

Transfer Credit Process

• Students must submit official academic transcripts of work completed for evaluation. Transcripts must be sent from the originating institution.
• Only courses with a grade of “C” or higher will be considered for transfer.
• Pass/fail and credit/no credit courses will not be accepted.
