Under certain circumstances, TUMI National does allow students to transfer credits for previous work done from other training institutions, up to and no more than eight (8) credits for the Certificate program, and up to an additional (6) for the Diploma program, totaling fourteen (14).

Note: the Certificate for completing the Capstone Curriculum (Certificate in Christian Leadership Studies) must be completed in toto in order to qualify for the TUMI/Tabor Associate of Arts Degree in Urban Ministry. Transfer credits may apply to the CLS Certificate, but not completing Capstone in its entirety will effect qualification for the AA program.

Here are the steps that we follow to process student requests for transfer of credit:

• Submit the student’s current TUMI transcript to Rev. Don Allsman along with a formal request from your satellite. Note: only Site Coordinators can submit requests to National for consideration of credit transfers.
• Ask your student to request that a sealed transcript from their training institution be sent to:
  Don Allsman
  TUMI National Satellite Director
  2001 S. Vermont
  Los Angeles, CA 90007
• Once we have received both the TUMI transcript (if one exists) and the student’s official transcript (sealed by the institution), we will review both records and make a determination of possible transfer of credits, and how many, if any, will be accepted. We will notify the Site Coordinator the number of credits that have been accepted, along with what department area they will be drawn from (i.e., Biblical Studies, Theology and Ethics, Christian Ministry, or Urban Mission).
• Once you receive notification of transfer of credits, the Site Coordinator should contact the student to inform them of how many credits are eligible for transfer, and what areas they will be applied to. (If the student elects to apply the transfer, Site Coordinators should immediately make note of the transfer on the revised TUMI transcript to avoid confusion regarding the transfer in the future).
