1. Only credits of “C” or better will be accepted
2. Courses accepted must be of comparable content and quality to those offered by SBC
3. Courses that are not of comparable content and quality may be accepted as elective credits
4. A minimum of 32 credits is required to be taken in residence at SBC before graduation in any program We reserve the right to deny the acceptance of any credits deemed to be unsatisfactory or inadequate.

An application packet includes an application for admission, transcript request forms, personal reference forms (one must be completed by the applicant’s Pastor), and medical forms. Each of these should be completed and forwarded to SBC. A current bust photo and a concise statement of the applicant’s salvation should be attached to his application. An official transcript from all high schools and colleges attended is also required.

SBC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, or handicap in administering its educational policies and school-sponsored programs.
Reapplication
If a student is out of school more than one semester, he must reapply. If he is out for more than a calendar year, an updated pastor’s reference is required. When a student is readmitted after an absence of more than six calendar months, the catalog current at the time of readmission applies.
