Graham Bible College is committed to providing quality higher education. Our concern for academic excellence emanates from the belief that Christian higher education should be superior, not inferior, to that provided by other colleges and universities. The college feels that anything less than this is not to the glory of God. Therefore, every effort is made to provide the academic excellence worthy of a college dedicated to the Lord and necessary for the education of those preparing for service to the Lord in the days to come.

Graduation  Requirements

Graham Bible College reserves the right to alter graduation requirements when it is decided that such changes are necessary. Normally a student is graduated according to the stated requirements at the time of admission unless attendance has not been continuous. In case of readmission, requirements at the time of readmission must be met.

The student is required to fulfill graduation requirements within eight (8) years of his initial enrollment.

Students are limited to four (4) college credits before filing a complete application with the college.

Students who have filed an application must submit a high school or GED transcript along with college transcripts. Credits at GBC will not be filed officially until this is done.

 

Attendance

Regular attendance is required of all students. Faculty members have full responsibility for the implementation of this policy. A student who presents the instructor with an adequate and documented reason for an absence will normally be given an opportunity to make up the work missed.

Classes cancelled will be made up at a time determined by the instructor in consultation with the administrative office. In the event classes are cancelled due to snow, a call will be made to the students' homes by 5:30 pm.

For unscheduled classes (Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day), the instructor shall issue an assignment which will cover lecture hours missed.
