INTRODUCTION Students and faculty at Davis College are engaged in the pursuit of truth. Davis recognizes that this pursuit of truth will require a thorough study of the Scriptures. However, mere knowledge of the Scriptures does not guarantee success in life. Ultimately, biblical study must compel individuals to change and conform to a Christ-like lifestyle. By understanding the world better through a study of general education subjects and through the acquisition of skills and abilities learned in the concentration courses, Davis College students can work and minister in a way that truly reflects Jesus Christ. I. FOUNDATIONAL STUDIES Entrance assessments will be given during new student orientation prior to each fall and spring semester. Students who fail to take an entrance assessment at the scheduled time will be required to schedule a make-up exam at the convenience of the Office of Academic Affairs.
Students will not be considered matriculated in a program until entrance assessments have been completed. Students who are not matriculated in a program are not eligible for financial aid.
Foundational studies courses, except FOUN 3022 Career Development, cannot be used to satisfy other program requirements (electives, Biblical/Theological Studies, Liberal Arts Studies or Concentration Studies courses) or be counted toward academic awards. All students are required to take an English and mathematics placement exam at the beginning of their college enrollment unless they have already completed and obtained transfer credit for an equivalent college level course. FOUN 0971 Foundations in Mathematics is a pre-requisite for MATH 1011 Mathematics I for students with unsatisfactory scores on the math entrance assessment. Students with unsatisfactory scores on the English entrance assessment are assigned a writing coach for assignments throughout the first semester. ACT - Scores of 30 and above on the English section of the ACT waive the requirement to complete ENGL 1011 English Composition I. The MATH 1011 Mathematics I pretest requirements can be waived if a student achieves a score of at least 30 on the ACT math exam. Students with ACT math scores below 30 are given pretests to determine proper placement. Please have official test scores submitted to the Admissions Office for review. SAT - Students may waive MATH 1011 Mathematics I pretest requirements if they obtain a score of at least 675 on the Math portion of the SAT exam. Students that score below 675 are given pretests to determine proper placement. Please have official test scores submitted to the Admissions Office for review. FOUN 3022 Career Development is a 1 credit hour course. This course is designed to prepare students for the world of work and/or further education. Special topics will include, but are not limited to, career preparation, essential job seeking skills, the job search process, resume writing, vocational portfolio, and/or interviewing techniques. It also provides Davis with the opportunity to acquire meaningful feedback regarding the effectiveness of its programs in the area of student learning. It is required of all students graduating with the BRE degree. II. ASSIGNMENT OF CREDIT HOURS All courses taken for credit at Davis College, which are applied toward completion of degree requirements, conform to applicable state and federal regulations concerning the assignment of credit hours. The following provides information concerning credit hour assignment policies.
