J. DISCIPLINE & PARENTS
When appropriate, parents may be notified when their student faces a serious discipline situation. The most
preferable form of communication is when students assume responsibility for themselves as adults by contacting
their parents regarding their own personal circumstances whether it be discipline, academics, or health. Under
certain conditions, the Student Life Department may elect to require students to contact their parents when there is a
major disciplinary infraction or a high accumulation of discipline points. The following will be used as a general
guideline.
Any student who is less than 21 years of age and fits any one of the following categories will be required to contact
their parents by way of letter or phone call under the supervision of a Student Life Dean:
1. Accumulation of 35 or more points by the end of fall semester.
2. Accumulation of 70 or more points by the end of spring semester.
3. Any situation that requires a restoration contract.
VII. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
A. FOR EMERGENCIES, CALL 1444
B. FIRE PROCEDURES
You should become thoroughly familiar with specific details of the emergency fire procedure in your dormitory. While
the following applies to the Bible Institute in general, there may be specific procedures to follow in each dorm.
Remember that the first objective is to have everyone safely exit the dorm.
1. Steps to take upon discovering a fire:
i. Sound alarm by pulling the alarm box in your dorm or by shouting.
ii.
Leave the dorm immediately. If conditions permit, secure the dorm as follows:
a. Close all windows.
b. Keep all lights on.
c. Close room doors.
d. Last one out of the hallway closes the door.
e. Last one out of the dorm closes the door.
iii. Report the fire from an adjoining building.
a. Report fire by calling extension 1444.
b. Report your name and the location of the fire.
iv. When exiting a dorm, wear hard-soled shoes and carry a towel for the purpose of breathing when heavy
smoke is present.
v. Gather in the assembly area for your dorm. Each dorm is assigned an assembly area, where you should join
with your roommates immediately upon leaving the dorms. This is necessary so attendance can be taken
and determination made if anyone is still in the dorm. Assembly areas are listed in the dorms.
