2004-05 Greenville College Catalog

GOAL Program

Adults who are 25 years or older, who have three to five years of work experience, and have earned a minimum of 60 transferable semester credit hours, are eligible to apply for admission to the GOAL program.

To be admitted to the GOAL program, a student must have:

•  A minimum of 60 (maximum 82) transferable semester credits of prior college work with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above.

•  A minimum of three years of full-time work experience.

•  Official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended.

•  A writing sample verifying competency in college writing skills.

•  Two letters of reference.

•  A certificate of immunization (for GOAL students attending class on the Greenville College campus only).

Types of Admission

•  Full Admission: Student has met all requirements.

•  Provisional Admission: Students who have a grade point average of less than 2.0 on previous college course work must petition for provisional admissions. If provisional admission is granted, completion of all four courses in Term 1 with grades of C or better will give the student full admission and eligibility to continue into Term 2.

Transfer Credit
A maximum of 30 vocational, technical, or Bible credits can be accepted toward the bachelor's degree. Courses presented from unaccredited institutions will be evaluated on an individual basis. Credit is not accepted for remedial or developmental course work.

Transcript Evaluation
The GOAL Academic Director provides an assessment of the student's academic history upon receipt of official transcripts, military records (DD214), and other American Council on Education (ACE) accredited instruction. Once the evaluation is complete, the student will receive an unofficial transcript evaluation for review in preparation for enrollment in GOAL. It is not necessary to have an application on file for the student to request a transcript evaluation.

Registration
When a new GOAL cohort begins, registration night is held approximately two weeks prior to the first night of class for term one. For subsequent terms, students complete the registration process on a class night approximately 3-4 weeks before the current term ends.
