to determine transfer credit is done only when an Application for Admission has been formally accepted. This evaluation will be based only on the official transcript submitted directly to the College. Students are responsible to submit either a college catalog or course syllabus should one be needed. Corban does not transfer grade point averages, only credits earned, except those grades earned as part of the cross-registration with OICA colleges. Up to 40 professional-technical hours may be transferred from an accredited institution if these courses are described as transferrable in that institution’s catalog or recognized in the ACE Guide (American Council on Education). These courses usually are transferred as elective credit. The total combined number of professional-technical hours and portfolio hours cannot exceed 64 semester hours. Transfer students coming from institutions which are not accredited by one of the six regional associations or by the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges may be given the opportunity to validate credits if the course work applies to Corban’s curriculum requirements. After completing a successful year at Corban College (30 semester hours), course work completed at institutions not accredited will be reviewed to determine what credit, if any, can be given.
USES OF SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS Providing one’s social security number is voluntary, though it does greatly aid the college in maintaining and accessing records. If students provide a social security number, it will be used as an identification number for keeping records, conducting research and reporting purposes. Students who choose not to provide their social security number will not be denied any rights as a student, but will not be eligible for any federal or state financial aid. Providing a social security number means that the student consents to its use as described here.
WEATHER POLICY Student safety is of primary importance and since many of our students commute, it is important that students determine their ability to travel safely to the college when weather conditions create road hazards. Students who feel it is not safe to travel to classes should contact their instructors at the earliest possible time. Should the college decide not to hold classes and/or to close all functions of the college, appropriate announcements will be made over local radio stations. Check The Student Handbook for information on school closures due to bad weather.
WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE Students may voluntarily withdraw in good standing from Corban at any time. Notification of withdrawal must be done by completing an Application for Withdrawal form with the necessary signatures. This form is obtained from and returned to the registrar. In situations of emergency (accident, prolonged illness, etc.) students may be permitted by the registrar to withdraw without grade penalty from the college at anytime. Written verification may be required. Transcripts of students withdrawing from all courses through the 10th week of the semester will show a W for all courses; withdrawals after the 10th week (but before the
