by the Grace Community Church of the Valley, located in Sun Valley, while considerable effort and expense are being under taken by the seminary and the church in a joint venture to build a quality library. The center has its own resident faculty as well as shared faculty who commute from the La Mirada campus. The same high quality instruction and academic standards are main tained as are enjoyed in La Mirada. For admission to this program, the applicant must follow normal application procedures with the university office of admissions and records in La Mirada, adding to the application the notation that studies are desired in the Valley Extension Center. EXTENSION CENTERS Talbot currently has additional extension centers in Los Angeles, Escondido, San Luis Obispo, San Jose, Davis, and Tempe/ Phoenix. Please write to the office of admissions and records for details and applications. EXTENDED DAY CLASSES Late afternoon and evening classes which meet one or two days a week are regularly offered at the La Mirada campus and the Valley Extension Center. This arrangement provides an oppor tunity for a number of individuals to obtain a course or two each semester, when other responsibilities prevent enrollment as a regular student. The courses offered are identical in content to those provided in the regular schedule and are applicable toward the degree programs of the seminary. An Extended Day Applica tion may be secured from the office of admissions and records. HOLY LAND STUDIES Talbot Seminary will transfer up to 12 units of elective credit for graduate level courses taken at the Institute of Holy Land Studies,
gy and the Doctor of Ministry degrees. A Diploma in Ministry is also offered.

Those carrying less than the full-time load are consid ered part-time students. A student is normally permitted to can-ya maximum of 18 units each semester. To exceed this maximum load, the student must petition the director of records. A unit of credit is generally considered to consist of one class hour (50 minutes) a week for a semester. In some cases, such as laboratory sessions, a unit of credit may involve more than one class period a week. As indicated on the curriculum charts for each degree program, the·various curricula require 14-18 units per semester in order to graduate in a specified number of years . However, students who find it necessary to work 20 or more hours weekly to provide Jiving expenses should plan to reduce their academic load. Such a reduction would extend the time required for a degree program, though participation in summer school and interterm could help offset the difference. CHANGE OF REGISTRATION A student who finds it necessary to drop or add a class must secure the proper form from the office of admissions and records. A charge of $2 is made for each transaction. A student who drops a course without fulfilling this requirement will receive a grade of "UW"in the subject. · Changes in registration may be made during the first two weeks of classes. Courses cannot be added after Thursday of the second week of classes unless approved by the registrar. Courses may be dropped without grade accountability during the first eight weeks of classes. If a course is dropped during the first eight weeks of the semester, it will not be recorded on the student's permanent record. For information on tuition refunds, see the Financial Information section of this catalog. Those desiring to withdraw from a class after the eighth week must file a petition with the office of admissions and records. Between the eighth and thirteenth weeks of classes, for a course which is dropped by a student doing passing work there will be a grade of' 'W' ' recorded, but for a course dropped while one is not doing passing work there will be a grade of "F" recorded.
