VII. OFFICIAL SCHOOL BREAKS A. While Biblical Mandates apply at all times, students are not held to the Institutional Policies of Word of Life during school breaks unless they are on the Bible Institute campus or on a Word of Life ministry trip, in which case they are.
B. During official school breaks, the campus and dormitories close. Students are expected to arrange their own housing and transportation during those weeks.
C. Students are typically not permitted to leave or return early or late for official school breaks. In the case of extenuating circumstances, special permission is required from the Student Life Deans. Failure to obtain this may result in a zero grade for missed coursework. 1. If special permission is granted to leave early, coursework can be made up in one of the following ways: a. Complete the work ahead of time by viewing the previous year’s class on the campus intranet. b. Arrangements must then be made with the Academic Department to complete assignments and take quizzes and exams. c. Return early to make up the work in the library. Note: Summer Ministry Practicum requirements are not an acceptable excuse for prolonging make-up work. 2. All make-up work must be completed by the deadline established by the Academic Department including all assignments, quizzes, or exams. Failure to do so will result in a zero grade for the course. 3. As per the standard stated elsewhere, no more than 20% of a semester may be made up by video. If illness or other factors result in a student missing more than 20% of the semester, they may be asked to withdraw and then to re-enroll when they are able to complete the program in the classroom. VIII. ACADEMICS AND STUDENT LIFE A. Announcements 1. Your school email and canvas is the main source of communication. Check your communication daily. 2. Scrolling announcements will be posted on classroom screens during breaks. 3. Students are responsible for any important announcements or meeting requests sent to their email accounts or posted in Canvas by staff and faculty. B. Classroom 1. Cell Phones must be put away during class lectures. Laptops and tablets are to be used only for classroom related tasks. 2. Beverages are permitted in the classroom only if they are in a non-spill, closed lid container. 3. During warmer months, students should eat any snacks outside. During colder months (December to March) students may eat indoors. First-year students should restrict eating to the JWC lobby. Any trash or spills should be taken care of immediately. Snacks are to be limited to breaks only. 4. Cough drops, breath mints, and small, hard candies not on a stick are permitted in the classroom during class session.
