Admissions
Persons desiring to enroll in New Hope Bible College must make application to the office of the Registrar. Application forms may be obtained by request from the Administration office. The applicant must complete the application and submit it along with a bust photo and proper fees.

​

ENROLLMENT
All applicants will be individually evaluated. Persons enrolling are required to give a written testimony of having accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Transcripts of all previous high school, college, and seminary work must be sent to the office of records.

​

TRANSFER OF CREDITS
Evaluation of transfer credits is made only from official transcripts after the student has been accepted for admission. Students from recognized schools will receive full credit for equivalent courses if the grades are "C" or better and if the content of the courses meet the requirements of the student's program. Any accepted transfer of credit is based on the decision of the faculty of New Hope Bible College.

​

ADVANCE STANDING -- TRANSFER OF CREDITS
An applicant may be given advanced standing through credit transfer from another recognized college or seminary and/or credit assessment of experiential learning may be granted when merited and providing course subjects are satisfied. (Recognized is defined as recognized by the faculty and administration of New Hope Bible College) Such advanced standing shall in no instance preclude a minimum of 32 semester hours credit of study with New Hope.

​

CREDIT FOR TEACHING
A student who is working toward a degree in Christian Education may receive credit for on-the-job teaching experience. To receive this credit, the student who is teaching in a Christian Day School or Bible Institute should have the principal or dean of the school where he is employed submit a letter to New Hope giving proof of the student's affiliation with the school giving an evaluation of the student's effectiveness.

​

CREDIT FOR LIFE EXPERIENCE
New Hope recognizes that a great deal of learning takes place outside of the traditional classroom. This learning is obtained through on-the-job training in business, in the pastorate, the classroom, and other areas of Christian service. This is done among the various crafts; such as carpenters, iron workers, ship builders, etc. One begins as an apprentice, then after he masters that area, he is moved up to a journeyman. A period of time is spent working at this level and the individual is moved up to a third level which is the master craftsman. The steps are equal to attending college and obtaining a Bachelor degree, then a Master’s Degree.

​

It is the philosophy of New Hope that if one has obtained the necessary skills in the field of ministry, he should be able to obtain college or seminary credit for this learning. Students who have acquired substantial knowledge and skill in the appropriate subjects areas, may apply for credit by evaluation.

One may receive up to three (3) semester hours credit for each year spent in full-time Christian service up to 12 credits. The number of credits given for one's life learning experience will be determined by the college after reviewing the applicant's work history and previous college training. In no case will an applicant be issued a degree of diploma without having completed at least 32 credits of work through New Hope Bible College. Should one desire this type credit, the applicant must complete the Application for Life Credits and submit it along with the fee.
