SPECIAL INFORMATION – NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
Special Information for Extension
Centers in Tennessee
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is
authorized by the Tennessee Higher Education
Commission. This authorization must be renewed each
year and is based on an evaluation by minimum
standards concerning quality of education, ethical
business practices, health and safety, and fiscal
responsibility.
If a complaint is not settled at the institutional level, the
student may contact the Tennessee Higher Education
Commission, 404 James Robertson Parkway, Nashville,
TN 37243-0830. Telephone: 615-741-5293.
Resolution and reconciliation is best accomplished in
Christian love with candid communication (Matthew
18). If intractable, Christian mediation should be sought
apart from secular litigation (I Corinthians 6). Students
should seek resolution through the grievance process
within institutional channels, apart from the public
view.
Transferability of Credit
Credits earned at The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary may not transfer to another educational
institution. Credits earned at another educational
institution may not be accepted by The Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary. You should obtain confirmation
that The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary will
accept any credits you have earned at another
educational institution before you execute an enrollment
contract or agreement. You should also contact any
educational institutions that you may want to transfer
credits earned at The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary to determine if such institutions will accept
credits earned at The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary prior to executing an enrollment contract or
agreement. The ability to transfer credits from The
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary to another
educational institution may be very limited. Your
credits may not transfer and you may have to repeat
courses previously taken at The Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary if you enroll in another
educational institution. You should never assume that
credits will transfer to or from any educational
institution. It is highly recommended and you are
advised to make certain that you know the transfer of
credit policy of The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary and of any other educational institutions you
may in the future want to transfer the credits earned at
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary before you
execute an enrollment contract or agreement.
