2. Complete the appropriate forms.

3. Return the completed forms with a $75.00 (non-refundable) application fee. It is not unusual for an application to require as long as six weeks for processing. Applicants should allow as much time as possible for this procedure.

No reservation is final until the prospective student completes all forms, and receives an official notice of acceptance. Calvary accepts qualified candidates in the order in which they apply. Students are encouraged to apply after their junior year of high school.

Since the purpose of Calvary Baptist Bible College is to prepare students for a lifetime of service, Calvary will only enroll those students who present a clear testimony of personal salvation in Jesus Christ, and have demonstrated, through their local New Testament Church, a consistent Christian testimony, and intent to serve full time in ministry.

The scriptural guideline for godly training is to prepare faithful men and women who have already manifested a desire to be honest, obedient, and willing to serve others. We require each prospective student to be faithful to their local New Testament Baptist Church, and to be consistent in testimony and service. We require the recommendation of the pastor of the prospective students. Membership at Calvary Baptist Tabernacle will be required for all students while attending Calvary Baptist Bible College. Each student is also asked to affirm Calvary Baptist Bible College’s statement of faith. Admission to CBBC is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right of admission.

Calvary Baptist Bible College accepts transfer students and grants credit for previous college work according to the following guidelines:

1. The applicant must have left any previous institution in good standing. A student who was dismissed or suspended from another institution must submit a letter to Calvary Baptist Bible College explaining the circumstances. Calvary will also contact the dean of that institution.

2. Full credit will be given for equivalent transfer courses, provided that the courses coincide with requirements outlined in the student’s program of student at CBBC.

3. Only those courses wherein students have earned a grade of C or higher will be transferred.

4. A transfer student must complete two consecutive semesters (30 hours) in residence at Calvary Baptist Bible College preceding graduation.

5. Students enrolled at Calvary Baptist Bible College must receive approval from their Academic Dean before taking courses at other institutions (including correspondence course) for transfer towards an academic degree at Calvary.

A transfer student follows the same admission procedure as a regular student, and in addition, must request each institution previously attended to send a complete transcript of their work directly to Calvary Baptist Bible College 

A special student is:

• One who does not wish to enroll in a regular academic program of study, or
• A student holding a bachelor’s degree who wishes to secure additional training but does not wish to follow a program of study leading to an additional degree.

A special follows the same admission procedure as a regular student.

(Note: We recognize that there are those who have not received a high school diploma. In these special cases, we invite the prospective student to correspond with the Registrar for an evaluation of his individual situation).

High school graduates are encouraged to take the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test- code number 0049). Information regarding this test may be secured from their high school counselor, or by writing to:
