Transfer Credit Process

Begin the Process

Transfer credit can be reviewed upon simply starting an application and submitting your transcripts. To find out if your credits will transfer, please browse the Transfer Equivalency System Tool (TES). Note: if you can not find a course equivalency in TES, please submit your transcript for evaluation.

To receive an transfer credit evaluation from the Office of the Registrar, take these next steps:

1. Start an application to Talbot School of Theology

   Create your account and start your application.

2. Submit transcripts

   Fill out previous institutions attended and upload transcript(s) to the online application.

3. Request Graduate Admissions to have your transcript evaluated

   If you have potential transfer credit, contact your Graduate Admissions Counselor (graduate.admissions@biola.edu or 562-903-4752) to request your transcript evaluation.

4. Transcript evaluation completed

   The Office of the Registrar will provide you with a transfer credit evaluation. The average process time can take 2-3 business days upon receipt of all documents. The process may be extended if additional documents or approval is needed by faculty.

Current Student Credit Transfer Process

If you are a current Talbot student and have credits you would like to have transferred, please submit the Biola Transfer Petition form with your request.
