General Elective Restrictions | Electives

AHE reserves the right to disapprove any request for credit not submited prior to the beginning of the semester or any request which does not meet the standards of the AHE program.

Definition:

Any course that is chosen by the family is an elective and requires approval before class instruction begins.

  • BJU Press Electives: Foreign Languages, Bible, Music, Speech, Family Life Skills, Health, Fitness DVDs, Art, Science, Math
  • Other Electives: Using a non-BJU Press curriculum (BJU Press must be used where available).
  • Transferred Electives: Course taken outside the home (team sports, traditional school, co-op course, etc.)

Financial Compensation

We are not able to validate credit for a course in which the student receives financial compensation. 

Dual Credit

While AHE generally approves for our students to take courses at local community colleges, we do not approve the coursework of students taking college courses to meet AHE graduation requirements while simultaneously receiving college credit (dual credit). 

Extracurricular Activities

We are not able to record extracurricular activity on academic transcripts. There is no doubt that these opportunities are valuable and are an indication of what type of person your child is. We recommend you add a simple letter to the college enrollment package that lists these activities chronologically if the college does not request such information in the application process.
