Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are JSOL credits transferable?
A: JSOL is a division of Hebrew Theological College, which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association. As an accredited institution, students have been able to transfer HTC credits to many colleges and universities around the world. JSOL courses may be used to fulfill elective or general studies requirements, according to each college's rules . Please contact the Office of the Registrar or appropriate department at your college to discuss credit transfer policy to ensure a smooth transfer of credit. Upon completion of the course, students can request a transcript from Hebrew Theological College.

A: Yes! Your IEP tuition credit ($1100 for students on IEP 2011/2012; $900 for students on IEP 2010/2011) can be used to cover part of the cost of a JSOL course.
