The selection process of the University will allow for the admission of graduate students based on the applicant’s academic credentials in addition to a review of all the information contained in the application, both academic and personal. For that reason, applicants may also submit letters of recommendation to give the University a complete picture of the applicant as a student and as a person. The program of choice will determine admission based on a review of all application documents and interviews to ascertain the applicant’s ability to demonstrate:

• Professional readiness for meaningful employment upon program completion.
• Technology skills to manage devices and applications of online and onsite learning environment
• Commitment to reflect the significance of Christ-centered education in promoting the principles of God in professional practice.

ADDITIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM

Students who wish to earn another degree must reapply for admission to the University. Upon acceptance to the University, courses that count toward the new degree program completion requirements will be transferred.

TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS

Students seeking to transfer credits earned at another post-secondary institution to MEU or from MEU to other institutions should note that the transferability of credits is at the discretion of the accepting institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether another institution of the student’s choice will accept credits. The policy of the University regarding the evaluation of course content from other universities to determine its equivalent with a course offered at MEU is that approximately three-fourths of the course content must match the content of the course offered at MEU if it is to be accepted for transfer. For evaluation purposes, students must provide a copy of the course description for the course to be evaluated and the school catalog for the period during which the course was taken. Evaluations and a maximum number of credits allowed for transfer are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Students who request an evaluation to transfer credits from universities or colleges must pay a fee of $75.00 for the evaluation of the course before any evaluation of transfer credits can take place. 

Decisions regarding the transferability of credits are not necessarily made prior to enrollment. MEU recognizes credits from accredited higher education degree-granting institutions and will not transfer credits for courses below the college level. The evaluation of transferable credits is performed by the Registrar. The Registrar will consider the expertise and recommendations of the Program Director in performing course evaluations.

Courses may be denied for transfer under the discretion of the Department. Depending on the date courses were originally taken. A grade of C or higher is required to receive transfer credit. However, grades for classes that were transferred from another university are shown as “T” on the transcript and will not be used in computing the student’s grade point average. For graduate students, no more than 9 credits will be transferred, and other documentation may be requested, such as samples of coursework.

COURSE REGISTRATION

Students may register by completing the registration forms online or delivering such forms to the Office of the Registrar. There is a $75.00 registration fee each semester. Students should consult the Academic Calendar regarding the registration deadline. 

A schedule of courses is published and distributed at the Office of the Registrar approximately one month prior to the opening of the registration period for each semester.

Returning students may register during early registration periods or regular registration periods. Please consult the Academic Calendar for the dates.
