Basis of Admission
Calvary Chapel
Teachers College invites applicants who are able to present a clear testimony of faith in Jesus Christ
and have acknowledged a call from God to attend the College. In selecting students, the Admissions
Committee admits students who are most likely to contribute positively to the college community
and intend to graduate. They prayerfully consider all factors that demonstrate the applicant’s
ability to succeed. In most cases, CCTC follows a rolling admissions procedure. An application
is processed as soon as the file is complete. CCTC is designed to be an arena to disciple the
body of Christ. While academic accomplishment is important, God’s call and a willingness by the
student to complete the course of study are essential.
Also essential are:
- Evidence of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a consistent Christian lifestyle.
- A desire and willingness for each student’s faith to be challenged.
- Academic records, recommendations, and rank in class.
- Test scores from the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and/or
grades from work at another college. Since test scores are used for placement purposes, transfer
students may be requested to submit them.
- Pastoral recommendation and academic recommendation.
- Willingness to abide by the doctrinal position and standards of conduct of the College.
Life and/or work experience may be substituted for GPA and test scores.
Notification of Admission
Once the Admissions Office
receives the last item from your application packet, the Director of admissions will make a decision
regarding your acceptance. You can expect to receive notification within one month of the application
file being complete. Once a decision on your admission is made, you will receive information on
registration, finances, and orientation.
Admission Procedures
- Obtain, complete and return an application packet for admission. Applications are available
from and should be returned to the Admissions Office. Necessary recommendation forms are included
in the packet. A $25 non-refundable registration fee and two current photographs should accompany
the completed application.
- Take the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT-for high school
graduates only) and have the score reports sent to Calvary Chapel Teachers College. The application
for admission may be submitted prior to taking this test. For more information regarding these two
tests, you can visit their respective Web sites at: www.act.org or
www.collegeboard.com.
- Request that high school transcripts through the junior year be sent, along with a recommendation
from the high school counselor. Class rank at the end of the junior year should be included.
- Request that two personal and one academic recommendation be sent to CCTC.
- Request that official copies of transcripts for work completed at other colleges be sent to CCTC.
Admission of High School Non-graduates
Applicants who are
not high school graduates may still be considered for admission. CCTC accepts some students who have
acquired equivalency certificates or diplomas through GED tests or the California High School Proficiency
Examination. Each case will be handled on an individual basis and may result in a probationary admission.
The call of God in the applicant’s life and the success of the student will be given greater consideration.
These applicants should follow the regular admission procedures.
Admission of Home-Schooled Students
the completed application
with stronger emphasis on the student’s SAT or ACT scores. Applicants who are home-schooled and do not
have an official high school transcript to submit to the university with the application packet are not
required to take the General Education Development (GED) Test or the California High School Proficiency
Examination. If the student does not have access to an official transcript or does not subscribe to a
transcript service, the student will be sent a transcript evaluation form to be completed by the primary
teacher. The transcript evaluation and academic reference may be completed by a parent if that individual
is the primary teacher.
Policy for Transfer Credit Hours
CCTC, at the discretion of
the administration, may accept up to 60 units from another college or university providing the course
descriptions and grades are comparable to CCTC standards. Typically, community college, undergraduate
course work and in some instances, work experience and/or testing will be considered in the transfer
process.
Please note that at least the last 24 units must be completed at CCTC to receive either
an Associate’s Degree or a Bachelor’s Degree.
Readmission
A student (enrolled in a degree program) whose
academic work has been interrupted for six months or more must apply for readmission one month before
the beginning of the month in which he/she desires to matriculate. Readmission forms are available from
the Admissions Office. If college level work has been completed elsewhere, official transcripts should
accompany the application for readmission. A student who has been readmitted after one year away from
CCTC, must complete the graduation requirements as outlined in the catalog that is in current use at the
time of readmission.
International Students
Calvary Chapel Teachers College
will soon be enrolling international students.
