Magna Cum Laude ..................................................................................... 3.80–3.89

Grade point averages are determined entirely on the basis of grades received at FEBC.
Course Withdrawal
A student has up to three weeks from the Day of Registration to drop a course. A grade of ‘F’
(Failure) will be reported for any course withdrawn after the third week without a valid
reason.
Auditing
Courses to be audited must be registered for. Auditing a course means attending a class
without obligation to do class assignments or take examinations.
Attendance Requirements
All students are expected to be faithful in class attendance, and likewise in the regular
devotional exercises of the College. The Morning Chapel is deemed the most important part
of the daily curriculum; therefore, attendance at chapel is mandatory for all full-time students.
Transfer of Credits
Course credits with a minimum grade of ‘B’ earned at other Bible Colleges may be
considered for transfer into the FEBC programmes if they meet the academic standards of this
School. Applicants should arrange to have their academic transcript sent directly to FEBC
from the Bible College or Seminary they had attended. A copy of the prospectus or catalogue
of the institution may also be required. Please note that the unit of credit used in FEBC is the
semester hour.
Confidentiality of Student Data
The College is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the student’s personal information
and undertakes not to divulge any of the student’s personal information to any third party
without the written consent of the student.
The confidentiality undertaking has the following exceptions: (1) All records are available to
the administrator, faculty, or staff of the College, having legitimate educational concerns. (2)
Appropriate information is released to medical personnel when the health of the student or
others would be endangered by the withholding of information. (3) Specific data is given to
the governmental officials and agencies designated by law, or in compliance with a judicial
order.
