“The history of our civilization, the great
advances that made it possible, is not a story of cynics or doom
criers. It is a gallant chronicle of the optimists, the determined
people, men and women, who dreamed great dreams and dared to try
whatever it took to make them come true.”
(Ronald Reagan, Riverside, California, May
18th, 1973)

“What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble
causes and make this muddled world a better place for those who
will live in it after we have gone?”
(Winston Churchill, October 10th, 1908)

“Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to
drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.”
Lord Brougham (1778–1868),
( Scottish Whig politician. Speech, 29 Jan. 1828, to the House
of Commons)
"The final apologetic, along with the
rational, logical defense and presenatation, is what the world
sees in the individual Christian and in our corporate relationships
together."

Works of Francis Schaeffer; A Christian Worldview, 1982)

Admissions Procedures
All students enrolling in any course or program offered by UCSS must complete
an application form. These may be obtained through the Registrar’s
office. There is a 50-dollar fee that must be rendered before the application
will be processed. The application fee, and a recent photograph should
be mailed to UCSS. Mail such information to:
University of Christian Studies and Seminary
P.O. Box 770454
Eagle River, Alaska 99577
Once the Registrar has the application and application fee on file, the
student may then order his or her first course. The application fee is
not refundable under any circumstances.
Transfer Credits
UCSS wants to recognize the academic achievements of the student
and will take credits from established institutions into account. The
Scholarship and Academic Review Committee, along with the President and
Registrar will determine if previously earned credits are appropriate
for the academic goals of UCSS.
In most cases, the majority of transfer credits will be recognized and
assimilated into the UCSS program. They will be designated as transfer
credits on the student’s transcript.
Transfer credit assessment will not be done until the student has filed
an application and application fee with UCSS.
UCSS has experienced almost universal acceptance of its own credits by
other educational institutions. UCSS is an active member in several educational
organizations providing the student with an extensive network of contacts
and educational opportunities. UCSS and its associated institutions are
required to accept credits earned through other programs that meet the
same level of educational experience. UCSS maintains some of the highest
academic standards in the world for its programs and its credits have
been accepted at almost every organization requesting student transcripts.
The transfer of credits from one educational institution to another
is highly subjective. Credits earned at a previous college or seminary
may not be accepted at UCSS. Credits that have been earned at UCSS may
not be accepted by another institution. The primary emphasis of UCSS programs
is ministerial in nature. The student is strongly advised to contact other
institutions to which they may want to transfer credits from UCSS to ensure
that they are indeed transferable.
Life Experience Credits
Credits for life experience will be determined by the Scholarship
and Academic Review Committee. A student must request a life experience
form from the Registrar’s office, and fill it out as completely
as possible. The student may opt to provide additional attachments to
the life experience form. The student must keep in mind that in most cases,
this form and any attachments will be the only method of determining the
credits that may be allotted for a student’s experience. The student
should include any information that is felt to be pertinent to the review
process.
A credit assessment will be made by each member of the committee without
consultation of other committee members. The assessments will be averaged
and the Registrar will determine the number of credits to be granted the
student. The credits will be entered on the student’s transcript
as life experience credits, but will be broken down into applicable courses
as determined by the President.
It is not mandatory that a student apply for life experience credits.
There is a cost of $15 dollars per credit for awarded credits. This assessment
must be paid in full before the credits will be entered on the student’s
transcript.
