Enrollment Deposit
An enrollment deposit of $100 is required of all incoming students. This deposit serves as a confirmation of the student’s plans to enroll and is applied toward the housing deposit (for students living on campus) and tuition charges. Deposits are due May 1 for the fall semester, on November 1 for the spring semester, and within 15 days of acceptance of the financial aid package for those who have been accepted after the deposit deadline. The enrollment deposit is non-refundable after the due date.
Advanced College Credit
To accelerate opportunities for taking higher-level courses, students can earn advanced college credit in any one of three ways:
1. Advanced Placement. At the time of admission, first-year students may submit scores from an Advanced Placement (AP) Examination conducted by the College Board. The minimum acceptable score is from 3 to 5, depending on the test.
2. College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Credit is granted to students who receive a satisfactory score on the CLEP subject examinations of the College Board.
3. International Baccalaureate (IB). IB credit will be given to students who receive a grade of 5 or higher on higher-level classes. No credit will be given for subsidiary-level classes.
More detailed information on any of these options for advanced college credit is available in the Registrar’s Office. The College reserves the right to require the audit of a course for which advanced credit is given if the unique nature of the course as taught by Providence Christian College warrants. A maximum of 30 semester hours of credit may be obtained through the transfer of non-classroom-based instruction i.e., AP, CLEP, or IB courses completed prior to receiving a high school diploma with acceptable scores as listed above.
Presently, the subject exams that are accepted for Advanced Placement courses are Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, English Language, English Literature, European History, Macroeconomics, Physics B, Physics C, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, United States History, and World History.
It is the student’s responsibility to have official scores sent to Providence. These scores should be sent prior to enrollment at Providence or as soon as the scores are available.
Unclassified Students
Any person interested in taking courses for credit at Providence Christian College on a non- degree basis may qualify to do so as an unclassified student by completing the appropriate application form.
High school students may enroll as unclassified students provided they have 1) a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale, and 2) approval of their high school principal and parents. Normally, the high school will have a concurrent enrollment agreement with Providence. Students may earn college credit or dual enrollment credits as an unclassified student.
