Graduate students enrolling in an Academic Program at Jerusalem University College interested in Transferring Credits from another accredited university or seminary may submit a Request to Transfer Credits form. Students should do and take note of the following:
Students may seek to transfer up to 19 approved graduate credits from an accredited college, university, or seminary into a JUC M.A. degree program.
The Academic Committee will determine which courses can be transferred and counted toward the JUC Academic Program the student has applied to.
Only courses where a "B-" or higher have been earned can be concerned for transfer.
Credits earned in a quarter system will be converted to the semester hour equivalent.
After the Academic Committee has determined what courses can be transferred, the Registrar will inform the Matriculating Student about the approved courses that shall be transferred into the Program he or she has applied to.
Credits will only be considered for Transfer into a JUC Program if the Request to Transfer Credit form is submitted at least 30 days prior to the start date of the first semester when the Matriculating Student is beginning their program. Requests for Transfer Credits after this point will not be considered.
Grades from Transferred Courses are not included when calculating a student's cumulative JUC Grade Point Average.
The semester hours of approved transferred credits will be counted toward the overall Program Requirements for the M.A. degree program as determined by the Program Advisor/Chair and Academic Dean.
Although Transfer Credits can be used toward Graduate Certificates, at least half (50%) of the Graduate Certificate credits must be earned while enrolled at JUC as a Graduate Student.
Transferring Hebrew Credits
Graduate students enrolled at Jerusalem University College who wish to take a modern or biblical Hebrew course, or any other course, in an academic institution in Israel and transfer the credits to JUC must receive written approval in advance from both the Program Advisor/Chair and Academic Dean. Students should submit an Request to Transfer Credits form.
All courses at JUC require field studies, something that is unique to JUC’s approach to education. In a very practical sense, the land is our classroom. Our field studies are a mandatory part of course work at JUC and enable students to see, experience, and interact with issues presented in the classroom. In fact, fieldwork is considered class work in the same way that laboratory work is considered an integral part of coursework in any chemistry or physics curriculum. Field studies will take students to nearly all corners of the land of Israel, the Palestinian Territories, and Jordan.
Quoting, summarizing, or alluding to another person’s work or ideas (whether a present or former student or an author) as if they are your own or without proper citation is considered plagiarism. Extensive use of quotes, even if properly cited, is also considered plagiarism. Any instances of plagiarism, as determined by JUC's Academic Counsel, will result in immediate failure of the course and dismissal from JUC.
Punctual attendance is expected of all students, including auditors, for all classes and field studies. Instructors will consider attendance when calculating course grades.
