General ConductThe conduct of each student (dormitory or commuter) must be in accordancewith the expectations of the administration of <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>Baptist</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Ourstudents’ conduct is not only a refl ection of themselves, but also the Lordand the <strong>College</strong> and Church. <strong>Trinity</strong> is committed to upholding the highestlevel of personal behavior.The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, and tobacco; dancing, gambling, andattendance at bars, clubs, etc., are strictly forbidden. Although activitiessuch as attendance at commercial movie theaters and other similar formsof entertainment may be debated among Christians, it is our position thatstudents at <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>Baptist</strong> <strong>College</strong> not attend such while enrolled.Dress and AppearanceThe dress and appearance of believers, especially those training for theLord’s service, is extremely important. Dressing appropriately can maximizeopportunities to witness and draw people to Christ. Consequently, studentsare expected to present and maintain an appearance that is neat, clean,and modest, and one that maintains a distinction between the sexes. Thisis clearly outlined in the Student Handbook. Questions concerning dressand appearance should be directed to the respective deans.Christian ServiceAll students are required to participate in at least one area of Christianservice each semester while attending <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>Baptist</strong> <strong>College</strong>.
