University Policies & Procedures

The university encourages contact between faculty and students at least every 30 days. In order to complete the course within the enrollment period, unit progress evaluations should be submitted at least every 30-45 days. While the nature of independent study provides flexibility for the student who wishes to progress at a rate that is slower or faster than the normal classroom rate, it is important to allow time for maximum absorption of concepts. It is also important to keep moving through the course to avoid having to rush at the end of the enrollment period. One week should be allowed for review at the end of the course before taking the final examination.

Transfer of Credit

Credit for work done in other colleges and universities of recognized standing will be transferred at full value where such work parallels courses required on a student’s program at Inter-Continental University. Only courses with a grade of “C” or better (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) will transfer.

Final 32 credits

In order to receive a degree from Inter-Continental Christian University, at least the final 32 credits must be taken by enrollment in Inter-Continental University courses. These may all be taken through independent study.
