(Ephesians 4 V 11 16). ACCREDITATION Team Impact Christian University is accredited by Theological Accreditation International (TAI). TAI is a non-governmental accreditation, extended exclusively to private, Christian institutions upon inspection and approval of their programs, operations, and integrity. TAI is one of the largest accreditation agencies world-wide and accredits Christian Universities, Theological Seminaries and Bible Schools in over 30 nations. 4

5 The purpose of accreditation is to: certify that an institution has met the established standards of excellence assist prospective students in identifying reputable institutions, which offer degree programs that will meet their needs and goals allow institutions to evaluate the acceptability of transfer credits into their own curricula programs In the United States, accreditation of universities and seminaries is a voluntary process with accreditation granted by private, non-governmental agencies. Governmental agencies do not provide theological or ministry accreditation. Government-recognized accreditation is not necessary for the religious vocations in which we are equipping our students and people working in ministry positions do not need a government-accredited degree. We do not prepare our students for secular work or denominational service. We will seek to provide a sound theological standing from which our students may fulfill their divine purpose and calling. Disclaimer Statement Our courses meet the requirements established by many private, independent, and professional associations. Various regionally or nationally accredited Christian Universities, colleges and seminaries throughout the United States may accept transfer students, credits and degrees from Team Impact Christian University. Transferability of credits earned at Team Impact Christian University and transferred to another institution is at the discretion of the receiving institution. LIFE EXPERIENCE All degrees at Team Impact Christian University are earned degrees. This is achieved by mandatory coursework that must be completed. University transcripts do not always reflect real life experience. Team Impact Christian University recognizes life experience which may have been gained through years of work which is ministry related. 5

6 Many people have served in ministry positions and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in their fields, but do not have any formal certificate, diploma, or degree. Life experience credits can give some of the recognition needed for this service in the work of the Lord. This acceptance of life credits helps a potential student to accelerate their learning college experience and enable them to earn a fully accredited ministry related degree. Applicants must have had more than five years in a recognized position in ministry. No diplomas or degrees can be awarded based purely upon life-experience. Life experience credit cannot be given for an entire degree but is limited to a maximum of 30 credit hours. Life experience which could include such things as books authored, missions trips, classes taught, outreach ministries, ministries within a church, etc., must be documented along with the years they occurred and submitted for evaluation. CREDIT TRANSFERS Team Impact Christian University can transfer all credits from accredited institutions such as colleges, seminaries, Christian universities, etc. Courses transferred must be equivalent in content and requirements to courses in the Team Impact Christian University catalogue. The credits must be reported on an official transcript. No more than 60 credit hours (including life credits) may be transferred. STUDY ONLINE No student has to wait for a full year or semester to start with studies. Different people study at different paces which means a student can now determine and maintain his or her own pace. Students can register any time of the year as and when it suits the student best in terms of own circumstances, whether it be available funds, job requirements or any other circumstances. 6
