A Christian college’s diploma is a mark of someone following their standards of life. The man does not follow a Christian lifestyle—so he doesn’t deserve a Christian college’s approval.

Unless the college is unaccredited, other colleges should be willing to accept at least most of his credits.

Point being, he chooses to live in a way antithetical to the standards required of the Christian college he attended. They are under no obligation to somehow approve of that—even though he has only 6 credits left. He was unwise to dropout...and given his current lifestyle choices....he’s unwise to expect readmittance.

Most colleges won't accept his credits, for two major reasons.

One, colleges like you to take classes there. You can't transfer everything in and then get a degree, because the school has no idea if you actually know the material or not. Especially core-elective courses. So transferring, he'd probably have one-two years of classes to take, not just six hours. Colleges won't degree you for other colleges' classes.

Two. I have a longer post in post 38, but 15 years is a long time to finish your degree. Most colleges only accept hours taken within the past seven years, so just about any college would require him to retake his core classes anyway.

This should not be a concern.

See here:

Clarks Summit University is accredited by The Commissions on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and The Association of Biblical Higher Education.

All degrees have been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education
