3. Computation of Grade Point Averages: Grade point averages (GPA) are determined at the end of each grading period. The cumulative GPA is computed by averaging the work from the beginning of the student’s attendance at the Bible Institute through the period covered by the grade report. (Quality points earned divided by hours attempted determine the GPA.) 4. Distribution of Grades: Students should share their intranet username and password with their parents, if they desire to have access to their student’s grades. 5. Correction of Grades: Students have two weeks to question grades by contacting the Assistant to the Academic Dean. D. Make-up Work All classes missed due to any absence must be made up by viewing the class on the campus Intranet. Students will receive an email from the Academic Assistant. Unless otherwise communicated, all work must be completed within one class day of the class missed. In the event that consecutive days of class are missed, the student has one class day for each of the class days missed. Late Submission Policy: when assignments are submitted late, there will be a 5% penalty for each class day after the due date it is submitted up to 50% off the total grade. This penalty does not apply to tests/quizzes and assignments that are approved to be submitted late by the Academic Office.
E. Overview of the School Year 1. The school year is divided into two academic semesters and a required Ministry Practicum.
2. Two special seminars are held during the school year: Missions Conference and Founder’s Bible Conference. Since these sessions are considered by the government to be part of a Word of Life Bible Institute student’s training, attendance is expected and monitored. Those missing conference sessions will be expected to make up the conference videos. 3. Outside Summer Ministries: Only a few non-Word of Life ministries are approved each year for the summer. In order to be considered, the student must have previously worked at this ministry for an entire summer. The ministry opportunity must be similar to that offered at a Word of Life camp. There is a non-refundable outside ministry application fee of $10.00. The application and fee should be turned into the office no later than Monday of Thanksgiving week. Students starting in the spring semester have until March 1st to submit their application request and fee.
