Dean’s Honor List Students achieving an average of 3.50 or higher at the end of a semester (not including the Ministry Practicum or Internship) 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 Honors. B. Dean’s List Students achieving an average of 3.00 to 3.49 at the end of the semester (not including the Ministry Practicum or Internship), are placed on the Dean’s List.

Students on academic probation cannot miss study hours to participate in worship arts ministry teams. Students may also be suspended from Platform Teams and Ministry outings. Special permission requests may be denied. Students on academic probation may be required to have a personal tutor and/or attend study intensives. In extreme situations, students may be campused. D. Students with Special Needs Students with special learning disabilities or handicaps are advised by the faculty on an individual basis. Their continuance in school will be based on their willingness to work up to their ability and maintain a positive spirit while in attendance at the Bible Institute. It will be the student’s responsibility to communicate with the Academic Dean concerning any special needs. E. Academic Dismissal Students may be subject to Academic Dismissal on the following basis: 1. Freshman students below a 1.00 cumulative GPA at the end of one semester and who have been on Academic Probation for the previous period may be dismissed. 2. Failure to attend classes. 3.
