*GENS 101 is available for those at risk who choose to
take it as preparation for GENS 102.
To pass General Studies courses, a student must earn a
grade of "C" or better and may take a specific course no
more than three times. The General Studies (GENS)
courses mentioned above are additions to General
Education requirements and may not be substituted for anyother required or elective courses; that is, they are added to
other graduation requirements. (See the General Studies
section of the catalog for a description of each course.)
Students may test out of a General Studies course by taking
a General Studies Exit Exam or by re-taking the appropriate
part of the ACT. Both the Exit Exam and the ACT
may be re-taken following a 60-day waiting period. Both
exams may be taken twice for exemption from a course.

Language (ESL) unless they can demonstrate acceptable
English language skills on a locally administered
examination or make a score of at least 525 on the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). ESL courses
are added to othergraduation requirements; they do not
count toward graduation.
Credit Hours to be Awarded to Graduates of
Schools of Preaching and Bible Schools
The Department of Undergraduate Bible and Ministry of
Abilene Christian University assists graduates from schools
of preaching and Bible training schools to complete the
requirements toward a bachelor's degree in Christian
ministry at ACU.
Although it is not possible within the university's academic
structure to accept courses transferred from schools not
accredited by the regular college and university accrediting
agencies, ACU's College of Biblical and Family Studies has
a plan to help prospective students make this transition in a
manner that satisfies accrediting agency requirements.
The school from which the student graduates must be
approved by the dean of the College of Biblical and Family
Studies and the College of Biblical and Family Studies
Academic Council, demonstrating that it has met certain
sound academic standards. Approved schools must conduct
a program covering at least two years of full-time study.
The student applying for entrance to ACU from such an
approved school of preaching or Bible training school will
be placed on probation for one semester. During the probationary
semester the student must achieve a GPA of 2.5
or above. The student who achieves the required GPA may
then be awarded up to 58 hours of college credit for his or
her work at a school of preaching or Bible training school.
The possible 58 hours awarded to the student are as
follows:
Lower level Bible ..................................up to 12 hours
Upper level Bible .................................up to 43 hours
COMS 112-Fundamentals of Human
Communication/Religious Emphasis
(for practical experience) ..................................3 hours
A brochure describing this program is available from theCollege of Biblical and Family Studies.
