F. Overview of the School Year 1. The school year is divided into two academic semesters and a required Summer Ministry Practicum. 2. There will be multiple special seminars during the school year. Attendance is expected and monitored. Students should refer to the Academic calendar for further info on these dates. 3. Only a few non-Word of Life ministries are approved each year for the summer. In order to be considered, the student must complete an Outside Summer Ministry application to be reviewed and either denied or approved by the Dean of Ministries. The Ministries Department will not typically accept applications after the due date, which is typically in mid-Fall, prior to Thanksgiving. G. Registration Registration for classes will be held at the beginning of each semester. All students are required to arrive by 5:00 PM on the scheduled dates in order to facilitate this procedure. All financial obligations for the semester must be met at this time. H. Withdrawal Procedure Students are not permitted to withdraw from the regular scheduled courses of the Institute. Students may withdraw from electives without a penalty before the second class. Students withdrawing from the Bible Institute are required to see the Dean of Men or Women, Business Office, and Registrar for processing. Failure to do this may result in the student being issued F’s for all coursework taken during the semester. Keys and ID’s need to be turned in at this time. Refund policies are stated in the catalog. Students who withdraw at any point during the school year are responsible for getting their personal belongings home within two weeks. Students must contact the Dean of Men or Dean of Women to return to campus. Word of Life staff and students are not responsible for packing and shipping the belongings. After two weeks all belongings that remain on our property become abandoned property and will be donated or discarded. A student who does not return to campus from any scheduled break and does not communicate with WOLBI staff will be withdrawn from the program after two weeks of inactivity and withdrawn from all active courses.
Please Note: The email address of any student that withdraws will be disabled.
I. Transferring Students When courses have been approved for transfer credit, students have the option to replace them with electives for no additional fee.
III. Academic Standings When grades are finalized at the end of each semester, students are placed in one of several classifications depending upon their GPA for that semester. A. Dean’s Honor List Students achieving an average of 3.50 or higher at the end of a semester (not including the Ministry Practicum) are placed on the Dean’s Honor List. Students who graduate with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher for the entire year of the Bible Institute will graduate with High Honor.
