Some provisional credit may be granted from unaccredited colleges or universities. When the student has completed two semesters of work at PCB with a GPA of 2.0 or above, provisional transfer credit will be fully accepted. In most cases it is to the applicant's advantage to elect the two-year Bible Ministries program and receive block credit or to enter PCB's Graduate School. Applicants with bachelor's degrees are exempt from the admissions test requirements in the undergraduate programs. Students with an earned bachelor's degree are not eligible for federal or state grants.
Student loans are obtainable based on the student's academic classification.
Part-time students may be eligible for federal financial aid. Normally they are not permitted to live in the College dormitories. In addition, persons who want to take select courses but do not intend to complete a degree or certificate program may also request non-matriculant status. Nonmatriculating students may be reconsidered for matriculation at a later date. To change their status, they must notify the Admissions Department and the registrar concerning their intent to graduate and complete the admissions process.
