ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Each student is assigned some form of practical Christian service, for which he is given credit each semester. These Christian service credits are required for graduation but are not computed in the student's academic load. In addition to receiving satisfactory scholastic rating in all required courses, a student must give satisfactory evidence of good Christian character and soundness of doctrine, as set forth in the unabridged form of the Statement of Doctrine, and have met all financial obligations. STUDENT GUIDANCE SERVICE Since the establishment of the Personnel Department, the following steps were taken in the development of the counseling program. First, a centralized record system was adopted including cumulative interview forms . Second, a freshman testing program was begun to provide counselors with accurate data regarding the student's academic aptitude as well as personality traits. Third, channels were established with the Registrar's Office so that transcripts and grade records were made available to counselors . Accordingly, students are grouped on the basis of major and interest under a faculty counselor whose responsibility it becomes to guide each student of his group through college years and to recommend him to the Student Personnel and Guidance Committee for graduation when his schooling terminates . There has also been the addition of freshman orientation composed of lectures and discus sions brought by various memb ers who are in touch with common problems. Finally, the office of Freshmen Counselor has been established to aid new students and others in selecting a major, conquering study problems and solving the many other problems which arise especially the first year of the student's college life. The objectives of the counseling program have been interrelated with the disciplinary system of the school. A minimum number of rules is combined with instruction in Christian principles of conduct for the purpose of encouraging students toward mature self-guidance.
