Oakwood University recognizes and accepts credit for courses taken through Griggs University and International Academy, which is the extension division of the Associated Colleges of Seventh-day Adventists. The policies governing acceptance of correspondence courses include:
- All requests for correspondence work must be approved by the Registrar’s Office and/or the Academic Policies Committee.
- A maximum of 12 semester hours of correspondence work may apply toward a baccalaureate degree program and eight semester hours toward an associate degree.
- While enrolled at Oakwood, a student will not be permitted to carry correspondence if the course is available at the university.
- A correspondence course with a D grade or below is not acceptable for credit.
- No correspondence credit will be entered on the student’s record until a minimum of 16 hours in residence with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 has been earned.
It is not recommended that seniors do correspondence or extension work. When such work is done as an absolute necessity, the official transcript for the work completed must be in the Registrar’s Office by the first business day in April for spring graduation.
Griggs University courses do not meet the Alabama State Certification requirements for education majors.
