Upon admission, academic credits earned at other educational institutions will be assessed by the Academic Office and transfer credit will be granted based on course content and instructional hours equivalency to the courses offered at SBU. Any credit used for admissions requirements shall not be used again for credit toward the Master\u2019s degree program. Credit will not be awarded based on prior experiential earning.<\/p>\n AOM courses taken at educational institutions approved by the California Acupuncture Board and accredited by ACAOM may be fully accepted for transfer credit.<\/p>\n AOM courses taken from accredited educational institutions that are not approved by the California Acupuncture Board may only be accepted for a maximum of 50% of transfer credit and no more than 25% of the 50% transfer credit may be awarded for the clinical internship training.<\/p>\n AOM courses taken from unaccredited educational institutions that are approved by the California Acupuncture Board may only be accepted for a maximum of 50% of transfer credit and no more than 25% of the 50% transfer credit may be awarded for the clinical internship training.<\/p>\n All other courses that were taken from educational institutions accredited by an accrediting agency which is recognized by the United States Department of Education may be fully accepted for transfer credit.<\/p>\n Courses taken from unaccredited educational institutions that are not approved by the California Acupuncture Board will not be accepted for transfer credit.<\/p>\n Equivalency and comparability of Transfer Credits (TC) is based on the course title, content, quality, level, and units\/hours in the course-by-course evaluation process. Credit cannot be given for courses with a lower grade than \u201cC\u201d.<\/p>\n If SBU has a question as to whether the content of prior coursework is equivalent to the course for which the transfer credit is sought, SBU will require the student to provide additional information regarding the course or may require the student to take a challenge examination. Half of the course tuition fee is required as an administrative fee for each challenge examination.<\/p>\n Courses taken from foreign educational institutions must be evaluated by a credential evaluation agency which is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) prior to granting transfer credit. AOM courses taken from a foreign educational institution may be accepted for a maximum of 50% of transfer credit if equivalent to the University\u2019s courses. All other courses that were taken from a foreign educational institution may be fully accepted for transfer credit if equivalent to the University\u2019s courses.<\/p>\n If a student has successfully completed a minimum of 70% or more of the required hours in a qualified transferring course, that student needs to attend the equivalent course in order to complete the number of hours that are deficient. The faculty of the particular course will verify the student\u2019s competency in the course through a comprehensive examination.<\/p>\n If a student has completed less than 70% of the required hours in a qualified transferring course, the equivalent course must be successfully repeated in its entirety for credit.<\/p>\n Courses completed more than five (5) years prior to the date of admission may not be transferable unless the student demonstrates proficiency in the subject matter, or shows documented evidence that they have been and remain in a profession directly relevant to these courses.<\/p>\n The Registrar will inform the student in writing of any award of transfer credits. The Registrar will also maintain records of transfer credits granted in individual student\u2019s file.<\/p>\n The evaluation of transfer credit shall be completed within the quarter that the official transcript and TC Evaluation Request Form were received.<\/p>\n Transferring students must comply with the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirement. Transfer credits will be counted towards the maximal length of study at the University. Fifteen (15) quarter units shall constitute one (1) quarter term, which will be used in the determination of time limitations for graduation.<\/p>\n The initial transfer credit evaluation granted at the time of admission to the AOM program is free of charge. However, each additional TC evaluation will require a $50 processing fee.<\/p>\n South Baylo University School of Oriental Medicine has not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other college\u00a0or university.<\/p>\n More than 30% of quarter units (equivalent to 20% of semester units) at the graduate level earned by another institution may not be accepted as transfer credits toward the Master\u2019s degree program.<\/p>\n \u2022 Transfer Units to Qualify for SBU Quarter System<\/strong> NOTICE CONCERNING TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS AND CREDENTIALS EARNED AT OUR INSTITUTION<\/strong> [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Non-Degree Seeking (NDS) Applicants” open_toggle_text_color=”#0C71C3″ open_toggle_background_color=”#f7f7f7″ closed_toggle_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.7)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#f7f7f7″ icon_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.3)” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” open_icon_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.3)” open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”25px” admin_label=”Toggle” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”#0c71c3″ title_font=”Lato|700|||||||” title_font_size=”20px” closed_title_font=”Lato||||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_link_font=”|300|||on||||” body_link_text_color=”#000cff” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#ffffff 0%|#ffffff 100%” background_color_gradient_start=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_end=”#ffffff” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|false” title_font_size_tablet=”18″ title_font_size_phone=”” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_toggle_icon=”font-size:20px;||” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”rgba(0,0,0,0.23)” border_style_all=”solid” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”rgba(124,218,36,0.74)” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#f7f7f7″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The University will consider applicants who are not seeking a degree, but who require course work to meet an educational objective other than the University\u2019s degree.

The passing score on the examination is determined by subject matter experts (SMEs) who use a criterion-referenced scoring method.<\/p>\n Applications for examination must be received in the Sacramento office at least 120 days prior to the date of the examination for which the application is made. The application requires personal and demographic information, including relevant transcripts\/diplomas, be submitted to the Board’s office. Diplomas and transcripts must be official documents. All foreign language documents must be accompanied by an English translation certified by a translator who can attest to the accuracy.<\/p>\n For more information, visit: www.acupuncture.ca.gov Phone: (916) 515-5200 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fax: (916) 928-2204 [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Licensing Requirements for National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)” open_toggle_text_color=”#0C71C3″ open_toggle_background_color=”#f7f7f7″ closed_toggle_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.7)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#f7f7f7″ icon_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.3)” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” open_icon_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.3)” open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”25px” admin_label=”Toggle” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”#0c71c3″ title_font=”Lato|700|||||||” title_font_size=”20px” closed_title_font=”Lato||||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_link_font=”|300|||on||||” body_link_text_color=”#000cff” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#ffffff 0%|#ffffff 100%” background_color_gradient_start=”#ffffff” background_color_gradient_end=”#ffffff” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|false” title_font_size_tablet=”18″ title_font_size_phone=”” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_toggle_icon=”font-size:20px;||” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”rgba(0,0,0,0.23)” border_style_all=”solid” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”rgba(124,218,36,0.74)” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#f7f7f7″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n NCCAOM Certification continues to increase in value as more states implement licensing regulation in acupuncture, Chinese Herbology, and Asian Bodywork Therapy. More insurance companies accept NCCAOM Certification as a basis for reimbursement for treatment. As national certification standards are adopted throughout the country, mobility to practice where one chooses also increases.<\/p>\n NCCAOM Examinations are administered three times each year at 30 sites across the country. Each administration consists of TWO DAYS of testing. This allows candidates to take examinations for more than one NCCAOM program over the same administration period. The Acupuncture Examinations will be administered on the first day of testing. The Chinese Herbology Examination will be administered on the second day of testing.<\/p>\n The application deadline is the date by which all application materials, including supporting documents and fees must be postmarked. The registration deadline is the date by which the Exam Registration Form (ERF) must be received to request the exam date and location of your choice. You will receive an ERF from NCCAOM after you are approved to test.<\/p>\n For more information, visit:\u00a0<\/span>www.nccaom.org<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”on” column_padding_mobile=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Row” module_id=”DAOM” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”680.6px” custom_margin=”80px||||false|false” custom_padding=”7px||0px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”90px||0px|” custom_padding_phone=”” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Admissions for DAOM program” image=”https:\/\/southbaylo.edu\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/daom-program.jpg” icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”300px” content_max_width=”1280px” module_id=”daom” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_text_color=”#966b00″ header_font_size=”30px” header_line_height=”1.3em” body_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ background_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”||3px|||” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true” image_max_width=”300px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The DAOM program is a professional doctorate program designed to further expand the working knowledge and competencies of Acupuncturists and East Asian Medicine practitioners through higher level clinical research, advanced practices, and demonstration of expertise in selected areas of specialty in the field of East Asian Medicine (EAM).
