Yes, credits earned in an approved or accredited college or university will be considered for transfer to PTS/PCC. Courses that are acceptable for transfer must be completed prior to enrollment and be similar in content to those replaced in the chosen program at PTS or PCC. Only courses with a grade of “A” or “B” are considered for transfer (“C” or higher for M.Div.).
At least 50 percent of the total credits required for a graduate degree must be completed at PTS or PCC. For more details, see academic credit policies.
For summer or one-week modules, residence hall accommodations are available for single or married students. Spouses are also welcome to stay if space is available and only pay room and board per session. Children are not permitted to stay in the residence halls. During the fall and spring semesters, residence hall accommodations are only available for single students.
Residence hall rooms are single occupancy for the summer but may have multiple occupants during the fall and spring semesters. Your room will have either a private or adjoining bathroom, standard twin-size beds, closet and dresser space, a mini-fridge, a desk, chairs, and shelving. Linens or pillows are not provided.
Graduate and seminary students are expected to maintain a 3.00 cumulative GPA (2.00 for M.Div. and M.Min.).
The 4.00 grading system below is used for all students.
If you don’t earn a passing grade, you are able to repeat the course. All grades earned become part of your permanent record and will show on any PCC transcript. However, when a course is repeated, the highest grade you earned for that course will be used in computing your grade point average. (Note: Credit hours are only counted once for repeated courses.) For more details, see grading system.

Online-learning courses have the same lectures and course requirements as on-campus courses, but you can watch the lectures (recorded live in classrooms), interact with your instructor and other students, and complete course requirements at any time or place using a computer. These courses provide a traditional classroom experience without having to leave your current ministry or full-time employment.
Self-motivated individuals who are independent learners are ideal online-learning students.

Yes, you’ll complete the same coursework as on-campus students.
Yes, a proctor is required for online classes. Online proctoring is our preferred method for tests and exams. However, if you choose to use a live proctor, there is a $10 proctor verification fee, and the proctor must be approved. The proctor must be a member of your local church staff or the staff of a Christian school. Relatives, peers, or other students enrolled in online courses are not allowed to be proctors. Your proctor should be available throughout the term to proctor your tests, and you will need to plan your testing times around your proctor’s schedule.
You will need a stable internet connection of at least 2.0 Mbps or higher available at the location(s) where you will be completing your course(s) online.
If you will be using online proctoring, you need to take your exams using a PC or Mac desktop computer, laptop, iPad, or Chromebook. A webcam and a microphone are required. Cell phones cannot be used.
Please note: Students taking BLV 645 or BLV 646 online need to use either a PC or a Mac to be able to access the Hebrew keyboard and successfully complete course requirements.
