Student Code of Conduct

Students must be respectful in their dealings with other students, professors and the University College staff at all times.Students will be expected to pursue integrity in all areas of life, especially in their academic life.  They should do their own work.  Plagiarism will not be tolerated.  All resources must be properly noted.All communications, including phone calls, emails, text messaging and letters should be held to the highest standard of Christian behavior.

A student enrolling    in ECUC courses may rightfully expect that the faculty, administrators, and other students will maintain an environment in which there is freedom to learn.  This requires that there be appropriate conditions and opportunities in the classroom and on campus.  As members of the college community, students should be encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment; to engage in sustained and independent search for truth; and to exercise their rights to free inquiry and free speech in a responsible, non-violent manner.

If a situation should arise where a student poses a serious discipline problem, the matter should be referred to the Dean of Student Affairs or the Vice President of Student Services, or VP for Academic Affairs.  The faculty member should brief those concerned immediately and thoroughly of the situation, particularly in the event that a conference with the student is necessary.

If faculty is unable to contact an administrator, they have the authority to suspend a student from class for two class periods for disruptive behavior.  Details for the suspension will be submitted to the Vice President of Student Services for a disciplinary hearing.

Students must respect and obey civil and criminal law and are subject to legal penalties for violation of laws of the city, county, and state.  Violations of such rules and regulations for which students are subject to disciplinary action include but are not limited to the following

GRADING

The quality of a student’s performance in a course is recognized by a letter grade that translates to points for calculation of the GPA: 

Grade	Points	Explanation
A	4.00	Superior
A-	3.67
B+	3.33	Above average
B	3.00
B-	2.67
C+	2.33
C	2.00	Average
C-	1.67
D+	1.33
D	1.00	Below Average
F	0.00	Failed
P	*	Passing
I	*	Incomplete
IP	*	In progress
NR	*	Not reported
WA	*	Administrative Withdrawal
W	*	Student Withdrawal
Cr	*	Credit
Ncr	*	No Credit

All grades appear and remain on the official transcripts.  The deadline to make grading option changes for currently registered courses in a term is the last day to add or drop courses without faculty signed add/drop slips.  Once a grade has been recorded, no grade changes are allowed unless for reasons of clerical error. Time limit for accepting grade changes is six months from when the original grade was recorded.  INCOMPLETE (I)  The grade of Incomplete can be given in the following   situations:  When a student has failed to do some portion of the required work in a course because of some unexpected hardship. In this case, the grade of Incomplete must be requested by the student from the instructor no later than the last regularly scheduled session of the course in question.  When, in the judgment of the instructor, a student who has completed on time all the required work of a course, but needs to redo some minor portion of that work to bring it to a satisfactory level. If such work can be accomplished reasonably within the Incomplete time limit, the instructor can, at his or her discretion, give the grade of Incomplete and notify the student of the requirements. A student may not apply for this type of Incomplete.  Incomplete grades requests are due in the Office of the Registrar before the last day of instruction in each term. If left incomplete, at the end of the Academic Year, outstanding incomplete grades are automatically converted to Fails. Students and instructors will be notified accordingly.  Incomplete grades count negatively in relation to financial aid satisfactory academic progress.  A pattern of Incomplete grades and extensions will call into question a student’s continued status at General Seminary.  CREDIT/NO-CREDIT OPTION  Certain courses are graded as “Credit/No-Credit.”.   Students who successfully complete a “Credit/No-Credit” course receive credit for the course but not a grade.  “Credit/No-Credit” courses do not impact GPA.  Students may choose to take a course as “Credit/N-Credit”.   To do so, they must seek and acquire the instructor’s permission, then notify the Office of the Registrar of this decision.  Students have until the add/drop date to elect to take a course as “Credit/No-Credit”.  Once a course is taken as “Credit/No-Credit” students cannot elect to take it for a letter grade.  Courses such as most practicum courses (indicated by a course number of 3xx) and all Theological Field Education courses are taken as “Credit/No-Credit”.  WITHDRAWAL (W) Students desiring to withdraw from a course must make their intention known to the Office of the Registrar and seek their advisor’s approval. A Withdrawal notation does not call into question the continued status of a student at the seminary. However, a pattern of Withdrawals may call into question a student’s continued status at the university college.  GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theology, Christian Education, Christian Counselling, Mission/Ministry and Biblical Studies will be awarded to candidates upon successful completion of minimum 139 Credit Hours with a minimum GPA of 2.00 in all courses.
