YWAM DTS/CDTS Transfer Credit Policy & Procedure

(For U of N Degree Students Only)

Scope of Policy

The DTS/CDTS is the prerequisite entry level course required for all YWAM staff and all U of N students. For non-registered YWAM DTS/CDTS prior to December 31, 1991 refer the U of N Amnesty Policy and Procedure. For non-registered YWAM DTS/CDTS after December 31, 1991, refer to this policy.

Policy Statement

Students registered for a U of N degree programme may request transfer credit for non-registered YWAM DTS/CDTS after December 31, 1991 provided that:

1. the student supplies the necessary documentation to the DTS Centre Director on a Historical Course Documentation Form, and
2. the school meets the requirements for approval.

NOTE the special application of this policy to:

The AA/AS degree candidate:

• Normally, no transfer credits are permissible in the AA/AS degree programme B neither from YWAM non-registered schools nor from non-YWAM institutions. This DTS/CDTS transfer credit policy is the ONLY exception to the general transfer policy for AA/AS degree students.
• Any credits transferred under this policy to an AA/AS degree candidate are included among the permissible pass/fail credits for an associate's degree programme. There is a maximum of 48 pass/fail credits permitted in an associate's degree programme.

The BA/BS degree candidate:

• A maximum of 72 credits may be transferred into BA/BS degree programme. YWAM DTS/CDTS transfer credit granted under this policy count toward this transfer limit.
• Any credits transferred under this policy to a BA/BS degree candidate are included among the permissible pass/fail credits for an bachelor=s degree programme. There is a maximum of 48 pass/fail credits permitted in an bachelor=s degree programme.
• An undergraduate thesis is required when transferring more than 12 credits into the U of N, except in the case of non-registered YWAM DTS/CDTS transfer credit.

The MA/MS degree candidate:

• The YWAM DTS/CDTS credits may be transferred only to meet the DTS prerequisite for the MA/MS degree and will not count towards the credits needed in the degree.
• Transfer credit for non-registered YWAM DTS/CDTS will only be posted to the transcript at the completion of a U of N degree and is not transferable to another institution.

Procedure

• Required documentation: a Historical Course Documentation Form will be 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 DTS Centre Director for evaluation and approval.
• 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 DTS Centre Director.
