U of N Amnesty Policy & Procedure
Policy Statement
YWAM staff and former students may receive credit for past YWAM schools, not registered with the U of N, completed before December 31, 1991.
YWAM lecture phase courses will generally be granted one credit per week. YWAM outreach credit will be granted on the basis of either one credit or one-half credit per week, depending on whether or not the outreach consists of full teaching/learning weeks. If the outreach does not meet the requirement for full learning weeks it will generally be evaluated at one-half credit per week.
Prior to December 31, 1991 some locations offered the SOE as the entry-level course into YWAM in place of the DTS/CDTS. In those situations where the SOE and Field Assignment were entry courses into YWAM, these courses may be considered for credit in place of the DTS and Field Assignment. For those students who took both the non-registered DTS and the non-registered SOE, amnesty credit may be given for both courses only if the DTS was the entry-level course and the SOE was a second-level course. However, if the SOE was the entry-level course, credit may be given for only one of the courses, because both are entry-level courses.
Amnesty credit for non-registered YWAM schools will only be posted to the transcript only upon completion of all other U of N degree requirements and is not transferable to another institution.
Procedure
- Required documentation: a "Historical Course Documentation Form
provided by the Academic Advisor. It will be the responsibility of the student
to provide the necessary documentation, obtain verification of the documentation
by their school leader/staff, and then to submit it to the International
College/Faculty Dean or International DTS Centre Director for evaluation
and approval.
YWAM lecture phase courses will generally be granted one credit per week. YWAM outreach credit will be granted on the basis of either one credit or one-half credit per week, depending on whether or not the outreach consists of full learning weeks. This decision depends on clear written goals and plans for the outreach, input into the students' lives, and assessment of their progress toward those goals. The planned objectives and general programme for an outreach must be written on a course registration form and be registered like any other course to receive one credit per week. If the outreach does not meet requirement for full teaching learning weeks it will generally be evaluated at one-half credit per week. - Payment of the student registration fee of $25 per course and other appropriate local course fees are to accompany the submission of the documentation to the International College/Faculty Dean or the International DTS Centre Director.
