4. Distribution of Grades: Students should share their student portal username and password with their parents, if they desire to have access to their student’s grades. Due to FERPA regulations, without written consent from the student, the Bible Institute is not authorized to discuss the student’s academic standing with any third parties. 5. Correction of Grades: Students should contact the Academic Office within two weeks of grades being released to appeal for any point correction. D. Study Hours Study hours will be for the first five weeks of the 1st and 2nd semester. Every five weeks, the academic office will run student GPAs. At this point, any student who has a cumulative or semester GPA above 2.5 will be exempt. Those not meeting the requirement will remain in study hours.
Students in study hours will be responsible to spend a total of four hours in intentional and focused study in the Library, throughout the week. Attendance at Study Intensives before an exam will count toward your study hours.
E. Make-Up Work All classes missed due to any absence must be made up by viewing the class on the student portal. Students will receive an email with any make-up work. Unless otherwise communicated, all work must be completed within one class day of the class missed. If consecutive days of class are missed, the student has one class day for each of the missed days. The completed form must be returned to the Academic Office as soon as the work is complete. All makeup work must be completed prior to going on vacation breaks. Since the Bible Institute is not accredited as a “Distance Learning Program (“Online Classes”), an excessive number of class periods being made up may result in a student being unable to complete the program and having to withdraw. F. Late Submission Policy Assignments permitted to be submitted late will incur a 3% penalty for each day beyond the due date up to a maximum of 50% off the total grade. This penalty does not apply to tests/quizzes and assignments approved to be submitted late by the Academic Office. Professors have the right to deny late submissions or to impose higher late penalties if so desired. G. Overview of the School Year 1. The school year is divided into two academic semesters and a required Ministry Practicum. 2. Our annual Missions Conference is considered by the government to be part of the Word of Life Bible Institute student’s training, attendance is reflected in the Christian Disciplines grade. Those missing conference sessions will be expected to make up the conference by viewing the recordings. 3. Outside Summer Ministry Practicum: Because the Summer Ministry Practicum serves as an accredited internship, only a few non-Word of Life summer ministries are approved each year, primarily for married students and students with unusual or debilitating limitations. The ministry opportunity must be similar in terms of expectations and experience to that offered at a Word of Life camp. A formal application must be turned into the ministries office no later than February 15. This date also applies to students starting in the spring semester. H. Registration Registration for classes will be held at the beginning of each semester. Students are required to arrive by 4:00 p.m. on the scheduled dates in order to facilitate this procedure. All financial obligations for the semester must be met at this time. I. Withdrawal Procedure Students are not permitted to withdraw from the regular scheduled courses of the Bible Institute. Students withdrawing from the Bible Institute are required to see the Dean of Men or Women. Failure to do this may result
