Credits
To participate in the CMC, you must be enrolled as a full-time student and be receiving academic credit from your home institution. CMC does not grant credit directly; rather it serves as an extension campus of the member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities and other participating schools. The program recommends to your home institution that you receive the equivalent of 16 semester hours of credit, distributed as follows:
