A student may take no more than eighteen semester hours each semester without special permission.
All courses attempted and completed become part of the student's permanent record, and will show on any transcript of credits issued. Courses in which a student receives a grade of D or F may be repeated. In such cases, the lower grade will be disregarded and only the higher grade and corresponding quality points will be taken into consideration for computation of grade point average and meeting graduation requirements.
Academic standards will be maintained at a recognized college level. A grade average of C (78%) or GPA of 1.5 or above is required for a student to continue as a regular student, or to hold any student office or position of leadership in ministry. When a student's work falls below this standard, he is placed in a probation status. Failure to improve grades while in probation status may result in dismissal from the college.
Without exception, when a student knows he is doing substandard or failing work, he should seek to meet with the instructor or instructors of his classes, for special assignments which might be assigned and completed to help raise the student's grades. Delay in seeking such help can easily mean it will be too late for such help to be given. Each teacher establishes his own policy on such matters.
