Applicants who have prior relevant study, completed in a language other than English, will receive a maximum of 12 months credit (8 units) and will be required to complete no less than 2 years (16 units) of the PBC Bachelor of Ministry or Advanced Diploma to be conferred these awards. Unless specific unit exemptions are given, such applicants would be required to complete all compulsory units.

Prior to the beginning of each semester, each student shall apply for enrolment by completing and lodging an Enrolment Form, obtainable from the Student Office.

Students will not be able to add new units or transfer between units after the census date.
Students may apply to change their course enrolment at the beginning of a new semester up until the census date. Students will be required to complete an Application for Change of Enrolment form to make such an application. Students will be required to meet the requirements outlined in the Course Articulation and Change of Course Policy to qualify to change course enrolment.
