Academic Information
High School and College Transcripts
High school transcripts should be requested by the applicant from all high schools attended. If the applicant has not yet graduated, he should request that the high school send a transcript of the course work completed up to the current semester. Students who have completed one or more college courses should have official transcripts sent directly to Baptist College of Ministry from the Registrar’s Office of each college, university, or other school attended since high school. Students wanting to have credits transferred from another institution should submit a paper at least 4 pages long that they have already submitted for a college class for the academic office to evaluate. Prospective transfer students must still have official high school transcripts sent to Baptist College of Ministry as well.
Graduates of Baptist College of Ministry applying for a seminary degree need only obtain transcripts for any college work completed since their graduation.

American College Testing (ACT) Assessment scores are required for admission for all students matriculating in a college-level program for the first time, as well as for transfer students who have not completed at least fifteen semester hours of in-residence college work.

It is recommended that applicants be tested in the fall of their senior year in high school. The ACT college code for Baptist College of Ministry is 4562. Applicants who have already taken the ACT Assessment may have their scores sent to Baptist College of Ministry by submitting to the American College Testing Service a request for Additional Score Report (ASR).
