The University is in concert with several other similar religious institutions (forming a consortium of schools) to better enable students to transfer credits and seek extra course work through sister institutions.

The Board of Regents of Dayspring Christian University states that the quality of courses offered to students through the University helps to show the credibility of the institution.  A copy of one of our syllabi is available upon request.

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.
