F. Registration Registration for classes will be held at the beginning of each semester. All students are required to arrive by 5:00 PM on the scheduled dates in order to facilitate this procedure. All financial obligations for the semester must be met at this time. Withdrawal Procedure Students are not permitted to withdraw from the regular scheduled courses of the Institute. Students may withdraw from electives without a penalty before the second class. Students withdrawing from the Bible Institute are required to see the Dean of Men or Women, Business Manager, and Registrar for processing. Failure to do this may result in the student being issued F’s for all coursework taken during the semester. Keys and ID’s need to be turned in at this time. Refund policies are stated in the catalog. Students who withdraw at any point during the school year are responsible for getting their personal belongings home within two weeks. Students must contact the Dean of Men or Dean of Women to return to campus. Word of Life staff and students are not responsible for packing and shipping the belongings. After two weeks all belongings that remain on our property become abandoned property and will be donated or discarded. G. Transferring Students Transfer students may replace particular courses with electives for no additional fee. III. ACADEMIC STANDINGS When grades are finalized at the end of each semester, students are placed in one of several classifications depending upon their GPA for that semester. 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 Honor. Dean’s Honor students do not have required study hours. However, if students choose to study in the dorm or Library, they must observe the study hour rules. Dean’s Honor students may not enter or leave the dorms while study hours are in progress. The Deans may revoke these privileges prior to the end of the semester if the student’s grades fall drastically. If the student’s current semester GPA falls below 3.0 at the midpoint or at the end of the semester, the student will be placed in study hours for the remainder of that quarter, or for the first half of the next quarter (whichever applies). 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 who graduate with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 to 3.49 for the entire year will graduate with Honor. Dean’s List students do not have required study hours. However, if students choose to study in the dorm or Library, they must observe the study hour rules. Dean’s List students may not enter or leave the dorms while study hours are in progress. The deans may revoke these privileges prior to the end of the semester if the student’s grades fall drastically. If the student’s current semester GPA falls below 3.0 at the midpoint or at the end of the semester, the student will be placed in study hours for the remainder of that quarter, or for the first half of the next quarter (whichever applies). C. Academic Probation Students who have demonstrated low academic achievement in high school or prior college work may be accepted to the Bible Institute on Academic Probation. Students are placed on Academic Probation when their grades fall below certain minimums. If the student has declining grades, the deans may assign the student to Academic Probation prior to the end of the semester. Special permissions may be limited. Students on academic probation cannot miss study hours to participate in intramural sports. 1. Freshmen: A cumulative GPA below a 2.00 computed at the end of the semester will place the student on Academic Probation. A current semester GPA below a 1.50 at the end of the semester will place the student on Academic Probation regardless of his cumulative GPA. Students may be assigned a personal tutor. Students may be offered group tutoring.
