class, etc.), disciplinary action may result, including receiving a zero for the course(s) missed. Permission to miss class for other reasons must be arranged with the Student Life Deans. If permission is granted, the missed hours will still count towards the 24-class hour limit. Students are expected to be in class on time so as not to be a distraction to other students. After 10 minutes, the classroom doors are locked for security reasons. At that point, students are not able to enter the classroom. If a student misses 10 minutes or more of any class hour, that hour will be regarded as an absence. B. Test/Quiz Absences 1. If a student misses a test or quiz, he/she will receive a 0 for that test/quiz (sickness is not an excuse to miss a test/quiz). In extreme situations, within 48 hours the student must fill out an appeal to the Academic Assistant, and it will be reviewed by the Academic Dean and/or Associate Academic Dean. 2. Students, who have been approved to make up quizzes/tests through special permission, will be able to make them up upon returning to campus. C. Attention All students are expected to pay attention in class. Students should demonstrate attention by taking notes during lectures, chapels, and preaching services. Disrespectful posture, whispering, passing notes, snacking, and chewing gum are not appropriate. Instant Messaging, Texting, using Facebook, cruising the Internet, etc. during class lectures are not acceptable. The instructor, not the bell, ends the class period. It is impolite to close notebooks/computers and pack up before the instructor dismisses the class. Students should not visit the restroom during the lecture or exam period.
D. Aptitude Study is hard work. There are no shortcuts. Effort will be required to succeed.
E. Cheating Confessed cheating will result in a zero for the test or assignment. Students caught cheating may be dismissed. Even though instructors use new tests each year, students are not permitted to use old tests from former students as study aids. Students should not give hints to those who still have make-up work to be completed. All tests are the property of Word of Life Bible Institute. F. Questions Questions will be limited during lectures due to class size. Students should only ask questions that are relevant to the whole class. Students should be careful not to monopolize class question opportunities. Disrespect to lecturers in any form will not be tolerated. Questions can be directed to the instructors between classes, but students must be sitting in their assigned seats before the second bell rings to start class. II. ACADEMIC INFORMATION A. Graduation Attendance at Graduation is expected. Students must notify the Registrar if they plan to miss Graduation. There will be a modest administrative fee to mail the yearbook and/or diploma. B. Electives There is an additional charge for electives as listed in the catalog. Withdrawals from electives are permitted prior to the start of the second week. Class dress must be worn to electives. First semester students who take electives should have been in the upper 50% of their high school class for one elective and the upper 25% to attempt two electives. Returning students must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 to take one elective and a minimum of 3.00 to take two electives.
