Graduation Applications
Graduation applications can be obtained at the offices of ITCT. The application must be submitted before March 15th
of the same year. A fee of $95 covers gowns and other special arrangements. Diplomas and transcripts will not be issued to
any student until all bills are paid in full. This policy includes all tuition, fees, and other costs incurred while attending
ITCT.
Confidentiality Of Student Records
Dayspring Christian
University and the ITCT practices are in full voluntary compliance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment).
For details concerning the handling of student files and policies concerning student record review, please consult the Registrar.
Accreditation
Dayspring Christian University and the ITCT have not sought accreditation with any small or
local accrediting association or institution. At the proper time in the life of the school ITCT will apply for regional
accreditation.
DCU and the ITCT is a member of the Association of Biblical
Accountability in Education. The American Association of Christian Therapists
lists DCU and the ITCT as a “Certified Academic Institution.”
The Institute also is in concert with several other
similar religious institutions to better enable students to transfer credits and seek extra course work through sister institutions.
The Board of Directors of the Dayspring Christian University and the Institute of Theology & Christian Therapy
states that the quality of courses offered to students through the ITCT helps to show the credibility of the institution. A copy of one of our syllabi is available upon request.
It has also been established that the DCU and the Institute of Theology & Christian Therapy, a religious
institution, does not offer degree programs customarily offered at secular colleges and universities.
NOTE:
- Certification Creditability
The AACT's certification program does not qualify one for a state license nor is it to
be confused with any state license. Most states have various laws that require a regionally accredited Masters or Doctors
degree before one may be certified by the state. AACT certification is provided for those who are called by the Lord into
a ministry of counseling.
Grade points are computed on a 4-point scale as follows:
A
= 4.0 Grade points C = 2.0 Grade points
A- = 3.7 C- = 1.7
B+ = 3.3 D+ = 1.3
B = 3.0
D = 1.0
B- = 2.7 D- = 0.7
C+ = 2.3
F = 0.0
There may be occasion to use the grade of P (passed) or F (failed). The numerical value of P is 4.0, while
F remains at 0.0. The Numerical Value of each letter grade may vary in some courses. Grade Report forms, which are maintained
by the College and sent to each student, are composed as soon as possible following the end of each class. Students placed
on D and F lists are notified.
Work for any class in a given subject is evaluated by instructors according to the
following letter grades:
A Excellent
100-90 Outstanding accomplishment in mastering the objectives of the subject.
B Very Good
89-80 Better than average accomplishment in mastering the objectives of the subject.
C Satisfactory 79-70 Minimally fulfills requirements and has made nominal progress toward mastering the objectives
of the subject.
D Passing
69-60 Deficient in some respects, but meets minimum standards for obtaining credit for mastering the
objectives of subject.
F Failure
59-0
Falls below the minimum standards of accomplishment. Course must be repeated or the objectives
not mastered but required must be repeated to obtain credit.
WP Withdraw
Passing Withdraw from course with permission through proper college procedure. This mark is not calculated
into grade point average.
WF Withdraw
Failing Mark given when the student is withdrawn by the instructor as failing, such as for a "no-show".
This mark is calculated into the grade point average.
IN Incomplete Available through instructor only if at least 85% of assigned work for the course is complete and written
request is received according to the procedure for incomplete work.

toward scholastic excellence. After a student completes 12 or more credit hours and earning a grade-point average of 3.7 or
more will be included in the Presidents List. A student completing 12 or more credit hours and earning a GPA of 3.0 or more,
but less than 3.7, will be included in the Deans List.
