WELCOME Welcome to the International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries (ICOFCS)! As you begin your educational journey we want you to know that we at ICOF are here to help you to reach your goals as you strive to understand the Word of God, prepare for the ministry that the Lord has ordained for you and earn the accreditation that you require in order to be established and respected as a true man or woman of God. Each of us here at ICOFCS have traveled the same road that you now take, and have made the same journey that you have now begun, so we truly understand the challenges and difficulties which you might now be facing. We want to encourage you to begin the journey, knowing that you will not be alone in the process. As you gain knowledge and understanding of the deep things of God, you will find your relationship with Christ deepening and becoming stronger. Each course that you take will open up new doors for you, “Philadelphia Doors” (Revelation 3:7-8) that no man can shut. Gaining the proper training and credentials will allow you to move forward into the call of God that resides within your heart. Without the proper training and credentials, those doors will forever be shut to you, and that is clearly not the Will of God for your life. ICOFCS provides multiple undergraduate and graduate methods for you to obtain your credentials, no matter if it is a one-year certificate in Biblical Studies, a two-year Associates Degree, a three-year Ministerial Degree or a Masters or Phd custom-tailored to your area of concentration. Even if you have no clearly defined degree goals and simply want to deepen your understanding of the Word of God, ICOFCS has a variety of highly flexible programs that you can take. Because of our unique modular approach to higher education, you can not only take one course at a time but you can also break that single course up into 10 separate class sessions, taken one at a time as your schedule and finances permit it. If you are not already a member of ICOF, we would like to encourage you to become a part of International Circle of Faith Ministerial Association (ICOFMA), a global network of Kingdom-minded believers and ministers who have come together in one mind and purpose to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ICOFMA has three separate categories: a Friend of ICOF, someone who is a supporter of ICOF but who is not actively engaged in ministry; an Associate Minister, who is involved in Christian service but not pastoring a church or in full-time ministry, and a Full Minister, someone who pastors a church or who is engaged in a full-time work for the Lord.

Our goal is to enable you, called to be a servant of the Most High, to be everything that you were meant to be, to provide opportunities of service to you as your knowledge and skill level increase and to connect you with like-minded ministers of the Gospel worldwide, thus allowing you to enlarge the stakes of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings (Isaiah 54:2) and for you to be a light to the Gentile nations, that you should be able to take God’s salvation plan to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 49:6). If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at: 888.874.8076 or http://www.icof.net. We love you with the love of the Lord and are prepared to train you, stand by you, enable you, connect you and encourage you in your journey on your way to the City Not Made With Hands! Amen and Amen! Dr. Ray Young – President ICOFCS

International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries Charismatic in practice Evangelistic in emphasis Loving in fellowship Bold in faith Conservative in doctrine Restorative in purpose

International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries are the embodiment of experience, knowledge, revelation, foundational truths and disciplines developed through nearly 80 years of international ministry. It encompasses a legacy of apostolic truths tested out by Bishop Ray Cornell and First Lady Ruth Cornell, founders of the ICOF‟s parent ministry, Dr. Bernie and First Lady Daisy Wade, Bishop Sanford and First Lady Georgia Wade, and Bishop George A. & First Lady Lois Wade. As the result of nine decades of Spirit-filled and Spirit-led ministry, Dr. Bernie Wade inherited and became the beneficiary of a great spiritual legacy. In recognition of that spiritual heritage he faithfully launched International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries to network with other likeminded colleges and seminaries. Together with his friends, Dr‟s Frank and Hurdis Bozeman (who lead Global Evangelical Christian Colleges and Seminaries) they birthed International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries. This network of academic professionals brings together a plethora of Spirit–filled educators with unlimited talents for preaching, teaching and empowering others. Together this group of dedicated Christian Leaders has brought Christian education to new dimensions and has assisted tens of thousands with their educational goals. International Circle of Faith Bible College (the parent school) uses a Yeshivastyle of learning. Yeshiva is the Hebrew word for a traditional rabbinical school. So likewise, International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries has a unique blend of mentoring opportunities (through discussions, fellowships and activation), discipleship training and internships through a local church, formal classroom instruction, physical campus, and experiencing God‟s glory and power through worship services. This style was chosen because it mirrors how Jesus taught, embraces the Hebrew roots of our faith in Jesus Christ and reminds us of His love and our call together to fulfill the Great Commission. Dr. Bernie Wade and his apostolic team have cultivated, as faculty members and church leaders, a dynamic training environment of servant-leadership. They are committed to letting the Lord build His church through the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit working in and through the lives of believers. We welcome you to come to International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries to participate in and be transformed through our one- and two-year credited programs, our Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees, our 12-week intensive Certificate program or by auditing courses that are offered for either fall 5 International Circle of Faith.

or spring semesters. Get ready for a life-changing encounter with the Glory and Power of God! LEGAL STATUS/GOVERNANCE International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries (ICOFCS) are organized under the auspices of International Circle of Faith Global Network (ICOFGN). As such ICOFCS is a department of the ICOFGN. International Circle of Faith (ICOF) operates as a church, an authorized non-profit organization headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky USA and with international offices in the District of Columbia, USA and national offices in most countries around the world. Specific governance and direct responsibility lie with the President of ICOF Global Network, the President of ICOF Colleges and Seminaries, the Presiding Bishop of International Circle of Faith Ministerial Association (ICOFMA), the Chancellor, and the Academic Dean, with the assistance of the International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries Board of Regents.

ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS Accreditation is a group process by which schools voluntarily agree to participate in a set of established standards in order to encourage quality education. Each country has varying criteria for accreditation. In the United States, accreditation is to ensure that the education provided by institutions of higher learning meets acceptable levels of quality. ICOF Colleges and Seminaries strive to meet and/or exceed these established levels of quality. Most schools have the accreditation of one agency. Because of ICOFCS commitment to excellence and the global nature of our ministry the ICOFCS Board of Regents chose to have several accrediting agencies to which we are accountable. Accredited status means that a school has voluntarily undergone a comprehensive examination to determine that it operates at a worthy level of performance. ICOFCS is continually working on its operations to ensure that we are birthing excellence. ICOF Colleges and Seminaries hold a plethora of accreditations national and internationally and are fully accredited by the

Association of Christian Universities (ACU) Washington, DC and Global Evangelical Accrediting Commission (GEAC), headquartered in Montgomery, AL. ACU and GEAC are interconnected, affiliated and/or accredited through or with the following institutions: Transworld Accrediting Commission Association of Christian Universities International Commission on Academic Accreditation, Inc. Logos Graduate School and Morehouse College. IACCI – International Commission on Academic Accreditation ICOF is a charter member of WANGO (World Association of Non Government Organizations). WANGO is an international organization formed by and for organizations that are nongovernmental. ICOF holds additional accreditations in countries all around the world including but not limited to Ireland, Bulgaria, India and many others. International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries are considered nontraditional accredited institutions. With this in mind we address two key areas. The first is religious or theological and the second is academic. While nations can and do change their moral compass or their national position on a variety of issues, even core issues like the nature of human life itself, the Word of God is not open to change based on convenience, personal desire or popular opinion. It is the Word of God that is our highest law. Yet, in that law, we are instructed to conduct our lives in a manner that exceeds the expectation of the law. Jesus Christ instructed us to “Render unto Caesar the things that Caesar‟s and unto God the things that are God‟s”. With this in mind, ICOFCS has accreditation with several non-traditional accrediting organizations. The uninitiated will be surprised to find that many large Universities like Harvard and many Catholic Universities are like the ICOFCS and are also not state accredited but provide their own accreditation. With over 40,000 ministers, 30,000 or more churches, some 11 Million constituents and more than 10,000 graduates, International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries is plausible as their own source of accreditation without the imprimatur of any government or organization. In the academic world it is a new millennium. It is absolutely essential for the educational community to embrace positive change and truly acknowledge through practice such dearly treasured American ideals as freedom and liberty. The ICOFCS is the embodiment of those values. The time has come for the "conventional wisdom" of tradition to be challenged and its cherished and tenaciously held beliefs and unproven assumptions to be brought into question. 7 International Circle of Faith. Copyright©2010, All Rights Reserved.

One of those assumptions deals with the strange notion that a school must be nationally accredited by the United States Department of Education to be of value or worth, as though no one else outside of the United States has any understanding or educational value to offer. Non-traditional, nonresidential education is a fact of life and has been for centuries. Many of the great minds of history were schooled in non-traditional formats or institutions like the ICOFCS. Even though the use of the personal computer and the internet are non-traditional almost all colleges and seminaries today readily accept them. Non-traditional, nonresidential, on-line and distance education are here to stay and, in fact, clearly represent the wave of the future in higher education. Traditional accrediting agencies are majority-based and not minority-based. It has been and remains the position of the ICOFCS that minorities are often overlooked in the accrediting process. Thus, schools who offer quality education are not „accredited‟ because they do not meet a cookie cutter approach offered through some government agency with little regard to minority culture. This is one of the guiding directives used by the Board of Regents in choosing how to form the academic accrediting agencies that ICOFCS would have relationship. The ICOF has and continues to work diligently to assure that minorities have a major voice in our academic policies and procedures ensuring us a key place in the academic future of the American public and the rest of the global community.

DIDACTIC / BACKGROUND In the United States, accreditation is (in theory) used to assure quality in schools or educational institutions and programs. However, in many cases accreditation is a simple matter of the exchange of money, power of influence. Thus, we have college graduates in the United States that are not able to read or write. This is not the kind of accreditation standards that the ICOFCS Board of Regents finds acceptable. As with many things in our culture, education has been left to be run by bureaucracy. What purpose does accreditation serve if the institution survives but the student is left with a life-time of educational deficiencies? It should be noted that accreditation is a voluntary, nongovernmental process of review and evaluation. The accreditation process requires an educational institution or program to meet certain, defined standards or criteria as set forth by the accrediting body. These so-called "standards" change from State to State, and from region to region. These standards also change with time. In fact, thankfully and partly because of our country's heritage and Constitutional stance regarding freedom of choice there are no two universities that have the same structure, philosophies, teaching modalities or evaluation criteria. The International Circle of Faithâ&#x20AC;&#x;s Education Department is not accredited by one of the seven regional accrediting agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education. Furthermore, our Colleges and Universities are not accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department or Secretary of Education. We are pleased with this and celebrate our subsequent unique freedom, independence, creativity and non-traditional status, which allow ICOF Colleges and Seminaries increased academic flexibility. Because we are headquartered in the United States and some of our Board of Regents are US Citizens, as loyal and true Americans we feel it is our duty to defend, support and encourage the pursuit and practice of the inalienable rights we enjoy in this great land. All too often we find that the pursuit of truth, liberty and justice may be hindered by self-serving unconscionable laws often dictated by religious institutions that are in direct conflict with our theological position and subsequently with the word of God. In an attempt to improve the quality of life for all, we at ICOF have set before us the task and goal of attempting to change the long accepted academic "social order" into something more closely resembling reality, and more importantly something more closely resembling the Word of God.

It is clearly time to STOP discriminating against minority schools simply because they don't "fit the norm", have a football stadium or possess millions of dollars in assets. The international scope of our educational institutions gives us flexibility to include a variety of educational authorities inside and outside of the United States and we have worked with other nations to meet their unique standards for accreditation. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. We do not seek accreditation by religious institutions that have included in their statement of faith articles that are in direct conflict with our statement of faith and with the word of God nor will we sign a doctrinal statement that is contrary to the Word of God. In other words, traditional "brick and mortar" schools and many localities or school boards are biased in their educational views (both academic and religious) and act from a "profit incentive" based motivation in hopes they can exclude those whom they perceive as interlopers. It should be noted for the record that many educators, teachers, counselors, pastors, presidents of nations, heads of religious organizations, professors and a variety of others have their degrees from International Circle of Faith institutions. PRACTICUM OR PURPOSE While not accredited by a government agency, the International Circle of Faith is accredited by the ACU (Association of Christian Universities) and a number of other organizations and institutions inside and outside of the United States. As an international organization it is necessary to seek non-traditional accreditation as the United States Department of Education does not accredit institutions in foreign countries. With continued efforts on our part and the actions of other intelligent, enlightened people the world over, we are witnessing a revolution in education that can only have a positive liberating effect upon all. However, our focus remains the same: quality, Bible-based education. Accreditation by ACU ensures that degrees issued by International Circle of Faithâ&#x20AC;&#x;s many institutions possess the "potential for acknowledgment" they require to conform as much as possible to acceptable standards set by institutions and companies here in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

CONCLUSION Education is not a wholly owned subsidiary of the United States or some megacorporation. When it comes to Christian education this position statement is only the beginning of what needs to be said. Around the world dedicated men and women from many countries provide superior educational opportunities to their students. Fortunately, many of these are part of the ICOFCS. While International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries and its graduates and degree holders already experience a universally high acceptance rate there still exist occasional isolated individuals or organizations that are not yet sufficiently enlightened enough to embrace the reality that: "Education, knowledge, skill, ability and wisdom belong to the INDIVIDUALâ&#x20AC;Ś regardless of how of where he or she gained it". Many of our students/graduates are among the highest caliber, most intelligent, talented, best-educated and most effective individuals you will find anywhere. They and their ICOF degrees are equal to their counterparts from traditional schools anywhere in the world.

PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE In the Bible, we find that Daniel became a head of state not because of his compromise with the established system of his day but rather because of his excellent spirit. It is our stated position at the ICOF Colleges and Seminaries that we strive to exceed all academic standards established by any agency. While we are not asking to have a particular governmental accrediting agency accept our standards for quality education, we have nonetheless set our standards to meet and wherever possible to exceed those of the United States Department of Education, the Secretary of Education and all of the seven regional accrediting agencies standards for accreditation as well as a plethora of even higher standards from the governments of other nations. Please remember that accreditation does not guarantee everyone will accept your degree. International Circle of Faith Colleges and Seminaries award university level degrees based in part upon on the evaluation of life experience and previous education, both formal and informal. The opportunity for independent work, study, research and documentation of such is provided to students. All students are required to complete a requisite amount 11 International Circle of Faith.

of original work commensurate with the degree they are applying. This can be work done prior to enrollment with ICOF or after acceptance to a program. Our online Universities and Colleges accept all transfer credits from established Colleges and Seminaries. We award credits for all relevant life experiences, and ascribe credit to independent study projects (self-taught, guided readings, etc.) as well as all other forms of original work, creations or accomplishments. Our programs are not designed to meet any specific local, state, territorial, regional or national licensing or credentialing laws. They are designed to meet the theological guidelines of International Circle of Faith as they adhere to the Bible and apply to our high academic standards. Further, being non-traditional in nature, our programs are not designed to meet a particular requirement established by any private association, or "traditional" licensing or accrediting organization. Generally our graduates do quite well in the job market and are often found among “Who‟s Who” listings for their field. For those of you seeking an ICOF degree for a specific licensing, employment or additional educational purpose, we advise you to first check with the association, governmental agency, employer, or specific educational institution to determine the acceptability of that licensing. This advice should be to any College or Seminary whether or not they are associated with ICOFCS. Unfortunately, not all of society or its deeply entrenched traditional institutions are as progressive or responsive as we are. We encourage you to carefully evaluate us to determine if our programs are for you. If after your evaluation, you agree (as have so many others) that this is the path for you, then don't hesitate!

GENERAL INFORMATION: Vision: To spread God's glory throughout the world by equipping others to be honorable and acceptable vessels for both His Power and His Glory. Mission: To make disciples of all nations, to foster love, humility and Jesus' posture of servant-leadership, to nurture the spirit of excellence, to restore foundational truths to the Body of Christ; to lay the groundwork for students and participants to have clarity in both doctrine and revelation and to teach experientially and relationally how to operate in the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

School Colors: Blue and Gold Mascot: Eagle Team: Eagles Key Scripture: “Many nations will come and say, „Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths. The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem‟ “. - Micah 4:2 Doctrinal Beliefs: WHAT WE BELIEVE • The Bible is the sovereign Word of God and every word of it can be taken as absolute truth. • Healing through laying on of hands, anointing with oil, and/or faith in the written Word of God. • Baptism in water. • The Baptism in the Holy Spirit. • The manifestations of the gifts of the Holy Ghost for every believer in Christ. APOSTLES’ CREED We believe in God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He 27 International Circle of Faith. Copyright©2010, All Rights Reserved.

descended into hell. The third day He rose from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He judges the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the church as the body of Christ, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION: ICOF mirrors the rabbinical (yeshiva) style of teaching and mentoring, involving personal interaction with faculty and guest lecturers. Students will also be further discipled (trained) through interactive involvement in the local community. Yeshiva (pl., yeshivot) is the traditional rabbinical style of study, the purpose of which is teaching through instruction, discussion and personal interaction under the oversight and in conjunction with senior spiritual leaders. YESHIVA STYLE OF LEARNING "Yeshiva" basically comes from the Hebrew word for "sitting, sitting and meeting together." This concept is derived from the fact that people gathered, usually on the Sabbath day to study together at their leisure the tradition and the law. In these institutions, the pupils gathered together to discuss and to define the Jewish law mainly by reflecting it one from another. This method called "chavruta" means "get together of friends." It comes from the root of the word "chaver" and means "to join or to become friends." A yeshiva is not just a place where one comes only for classes and then goes home. It is a community where students learn together, pray together and grow with each other. The objective of a traditional Jewish yeshiva is what is called "Talmud Torah" or "the learning of the Torah", the process of becoming intimately acquainted with the word of God. In the same way, ICOF focuses on providing its students/participants with a firm foundation of Biblical truth. Also, as in the traditional yeshiva method of study, students will learn to encounter the questions and the objections that people have to believing in the Lord. Students will also be given real responsibilities and firsthand experience in the practicalities of serving others and Christ. Mentoring Discussions, Fellowships & Activation Resident Faculty and instructors are trained leaders in the anointing. Students/participants at ICOF will have ample opportunity for both formal and informal discussions with faculty/instructors including dinner 28 International Circle of Faith.

fellowships. They will also be guided through training and will assist in the laying on of hands on others for them to receive healing and deliverance. They will also participate in our Outreach Programs and they will receive first-hand activation in the operation of the gifts, moving in prophetic ministry – words of wisdom, words of knowledge, dream interpretation, etc. Discipleship Training/Internships Development of character and a servant‟s heart will be worked out in areas of practical service/interning at the local church in a familial-type relational dynamic. Practical service/interning will be in the Ministry of Helps area, which includes Audio/Video Productions, Bookstore Management, and Children‟s Ministry as examples. Formal Classroom Instruction Classes at ICOF are a dynamic dialogue between students and teachers. Scholarship and understanding are stimulated through an exciting question and answer exchange. The teacher as he or she presents the materials will also ask questions and allow discussion times on the text and bring forth the most valuable lessons to be learned. The students/participants are encouraged to search for real truth and to be responsible for his or her conclusions. Thereby a formula for learning is crystallized and can be reproduced during private study times. Nine (9) hours weekly are in a formal classroom setting. Students/participants will be established/grounded in the biblical foundations and in key aspects necessary for ministering under the anointing.

ACADEMIC POLICIES STUDENT RECORDS / PRIVACY ACT Student records, other than name, date of enrollment, degree program, and date of graduation will not be released to a third party without the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x;s written permission. This also includes any government officials or organizations, unless they have a warrant to do so.

ACADEMIC CONDUCT Dishonesty in academic matters (and in any other matters) is a serious affront to the entire community. ICOF observes the following code of academic conduct: No student shall receive assistance not authorized by the instructor in the preparation of any assignment, essay, or examination to be submitted as a requirement for a course. No student shall knowingly give unauthorized assistance to another person in such preparation. No person shall sell, give, or lend copies of examinations or papers to other students. Themes, essays, term papers, tests, and other course requirements must be the work of the student submitting it. Direct quotes used are to be clearly indicated and ideas authored by others are to be appropriately acknowledged. No student shall alter, take, or attempt to take, steal, or otherwise procure in any unauthorized manner any material pertaining to the conduct of a class. Academic dishonesty (e.g., cheating on a test, plagiarism) is addressed by the faculty member supervising a given class. Misconduct of any type in an academic setting (e.g., disruptive behavior in the classroom, marking an attendance sheet for an absent student, rudeness or disrespectful behavior toward a faculty member or student, sleeping in class, doing non-class-related work or activity, etc.) is to be addressed by the faculty member supervising a given class. Any faculty member/instructor has the prerogative to count a student absent, to require work to be redone, to require additional work, to give a lower or failing grade for the related assignment, to require the student to leave that class session or other appropriate corrective action. Recurring incidents of academic misconduct in the same course may result in the withdrawal of the student from the course by the Chancellor, Academic Dean or the Administrative Dean/Dean of Students. If the offense is sufficiently serious, it is the Chancellor, Academic Dean or the Administrative Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x;s prerogative to pursue further disciplinary action as warranted.

GENERAL COURSE POLICIES Papers: All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Modern Language Association (MLA) Style Guide (ISBN# 08735-2975-8), see also http://www.mla.org/. All work submitted for credit must meet the following standards: Typewritten or computer word processor printed; Double-spaced; Twelve (12) point font size; Times New Roman or Arial font face; One (1) inch margins (top, bottom, left, and right); Consistent with other requirements of the MLA Style Guide; Title, end note, and bibliography pages cannot be counted toward the required length of the paper. Any requests for variation from these standards must be requested in writing from and approved in writing by the Administrative Dean/Dean of Students. GRADING SYSTEM Alphabetical / Numerical Grading System Grades are issued by faculty members according to the scales below It should be noted that most post-secondary institutions will not receive credit for any course in which a grade lower than “C” was received. I = Incomplete: A temporary grade limited to a course in which a student has been granted an extension to complete the required assignments or exams due to personal illness, family crisis, or other faculty-accepted reasons. WA = Withdrawal with Approval: A permanent grade indicating that sufficient class time was not met for successful completion of the course and approval to withdraw was granted due to personal illness, family crisis or other facultyaccepted reasons. WC = Withdrawal for Cause: A permanent grade indicating that disciplinary action was taken and the student was removed from the course roster by the Chancellor, Academic Dean or the Administrative Dean/Dean of Students.

Philosophy behind the Grading System Since ICOF is seeking to train both the spirit and the mind, our schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x;s grading system will be based on the following philosophy: Points Received 50% on Academic Comprehension 50% on Experiential Assimilation 4 -- Grasped material with thoroughness, industry, and correctness of detail and made the material their own by thinking about it and integrating it, using originality, natural ability, and insight. 3 -- Intelligently fulfilled the requirements of the course. Assimilated the subject matter with thoroughness, correctness and understanding of its relationship to life. 2 -- Average work, either steady work of an acceptable quality or work of a high quality which is uneven, irregular or fragmentary. May be mechanically or outwardly correct but shows little reflection upon or personal assimilation of the material. 36 International Circle of Faith. CopyrightÂŠ2010, All Rights Reserved.

1 -- Indicates barely passing work that is inferior to the average both in quantity and in quality. Manifests a lack of initiative or sense of responsibility, or both. After receipt of a grade, a student has two weeks (14 days) to petition to change any grade status to a higher grade or an “Incomplete” to a letter grade via the resubmission of required course work. If a student fails to resubmit the required course work during the two week grace period, the final grade given shall stand. Any changes after that period will be determined by the Administrative Dean/Dean of Students. CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY Regular class attendance is essential. All classes should be attended; but the following schedule will be followed if emergencies develop: Absences are allowed per course each semester equal to the number of class meetings per week; (e.g., if a class meets once a week, one absence is allowed.) Additional absences must be cleared with the faculty member supervising that class and must be made up or excused at their discretion. Unexcused Absences in excess of the allowed number will result in the lowering of the final grade by one letter; e.g., a grade of A will automatically become a B. Absences in excess of 25% of the scheduled class meetings for a course, regardless of the reason, will result in automatic withdrawal from the course with a grade of WA or WC. The arrival of a tardy student in a classroom interrupts the class and causes the student to lose valuable information; therefore, three times late will accumulate as one absence. REPEATING A COURSE A student who receives a grade of “D” in a required course must repeat the course in order to graduate. When a course is repeated, the last grade points and credit hours earned replace the previous grade points and credit hours in computing the grade point average. However, all grade entries on the transcript remain a part of the student‟s permanent academic record. The student must indicate that it is a repeat course at the time of registering for the course.

REFUND POLICY Part-time students (auditing classes) are not eligible for refunds. Also, students/participants dismissed for disciplinary reasons are not eligible for refunds. Note: Non-payment of tuition by the published due dates for both parttime and full-time students/participants are grounds for dismissal. Full-Time Students/Participants in both credited and certificate programs: Application fees are non-refundable. If full-time students/participants are paying per the monthly schedule, those deposits and payments are not refundable. If a full-time student/participant has paid their tuition in full prior to the first day of class, then refunds on tuition will be granted as follows: Credited Programs Full two-semesters paid: o Prior to first class: 75% o First month after the first class (1st – 30th day): 50% o Second month after the first class (31st – 60th day): 25% o No refund after the 61st day after the first class: 0% Certificate Program 12 Weeks paid o Prior to first class: 50% o First month after the first class (1st – 30th day): 25% o No refund after the 31st day after the first class: 0% To Receive Final Course Grade All course costs must be paid in full before a final course grade will be given, before credits are awarded or before graduation requirements are deemed complete. Auditing Policy The instructor is not required to grade any homework. The student will not receive a course grade.

Graduation Requirements: Credited programs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Diploma and Degree A student must have at least a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 and the required number of credits.

GENERAL GUIDELINES OF CONDUCT Each member of ICOF Colleges and Seminaries community is expected to conduct him/herself with honesty, integrity, responsibility, and love as taught in God's Word. All are expected to obey the laws of the college, local church, community, state, and nation. Individuals are highly valued in the image of God, but where group welfare is in jeopardy, the value of the group will prevail over the individual. Some College guidelines are not absolute standards for all Christians, but are in the best interests of a community of Christian leaders in training. All students/participants who attend ICOF Colleges and Seminaries Schools must commit themselves to live by the standards set by the College. These standards apply whether the student is full-time or part-time, and are to be followed whether students are on or off the College campus.

PURPOSE OF DISCIPLINE It is the desire of the College that students exercise self-discipline in all situations. At times, however, students need assistance in leading a disciplined life. As outlined in Matthew 18:15-17, responsibility for discipline is shared by every member of the community - each person is responsible for the well-being of all. Therefore, we have high expectations of each other, and show our care for one another through encouragement of responsible choices, and confronting and correcting those choices that are irresponsible and undermine not only our purpose for being at our school, but possibly our future Kingdom service. Those involved in carrying out needed disciplinary measures are the President, Chancellor, Academic Dean and the Administrative Dean/Dean of Students. Examples of the disciplinary actions that can be taken as follows: DISCIPLINARY WARNING - Written or verbal, this statement serves as a warning concerning repeat behavior. WORK ASSIGNMENT - A number of hours of community service may be imposed. FINES - Monetary fines may be levied. These may be paid in cash or added to the student's bill. If added to the bill, they will be noted as Disciplinary Fines. LOSS OF PRIVILEGE - Loss of privilege such as participating in various student activities or in opportunities to take optional trips. PROBATION - An official agreement that informs the student that any subsequent misconduct, during or after the probation term, will result in additional discipline, including but not limited to, suspension or dismissal from the College. SUSPENSION - The student/participant is removed from the College for a period of time. While on suspension, students may not attend classes or be physically present on campus. They also forfeit any activities that occur while they are suspended. DISMISSAL - Any student who does not conform to the lifestyle expectations of the College (in particular sexual misconduct), who continues to repeat prohibited actions, or whose character is not in keeping with Biblical standards may be dismissed at any time prior to commencement. This dismissal may include the denial of granting a degree. If the student's action warrants, police will be called and the student/participant prosecuted. Parents may be contacted. Any discipline imposed is at the sole discretion of the Chancellor and Academic Dean and their representatives.

DRESS CODE Students are encouraged to demonstrate by their dress and appearance a mature Christian attitude and the ability to discern propriety. Our dress and grooming communicate a great deal to others about our personal values and attitudes. Accurately or not, others form first impressions about our character by the way we dress and present ourselves. Part of the educational process, then, is learning to dress appropriately. The following standards and guidelines will assist students in making decisions about their dress and appearance in class, on campus/church property and at all College-sponsored activities. 1. All students, staff and faculty are expected to dress with Christian appropriateness. Dress should be modest. Some extremes are not acceptable, including halter tops, crop tops/open midriffs, and short and/or revealing skirts and shorts. For men, this guideline includes wearing a shirt unless appropriate to activity such as certain sports. 2. During work periods, student workers are expected to conform to the dress code set by the department in which they work. 3. Shorts may be worn except during Friday night and Sunday morning worship services. However, shorts (and skirts) must be modest and conform to a standard of mid-thigh or longer. 4. Clothing with inappropriate advertising, pictures and/or slogans that are contrary to the mission and Christian standards of the College are prohibited. 5. Men may not wear hats or caps in the Sanctuary. Caps and hats in classes are at the discretion of the faculty member supervising the course. Note: Students wearing unacceptable clothing may be required to leave the classroom or the campus entirely. DATING (This section may have differing application at various schools and serves only as a general guideline). The general approach of the administration of ICOF is that the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x;s primary priority for the season of enrollment is their developing spiritual and academic training. Therefore dating will be discouraged for currently unattached singles. In any case it shall be expected that dating should not interfere or distract from attendance and focus on collegiate instruction. Where it becomes 41 International Circle of Faith.

evident that a dating relationship is interfering with academic, social, or spiritual development, the couple will be appropriately advised. SEXUAL IMMORALITY Sexual immorality is strictly prohibited by God's Word, and therefore by the College. This includes premarital sex, extramarital sex, homosexuality, and any other sexual activity outside the bounds of a Biblical heterosexual marriage. Sexual misconduct is immediate grounds for dismissal. General Behavior Scripture teaches that certain attributes and the behaviors which flow out of those attributes are to be nurtured by each believer. As an example, Galatians 5:22-24 encourages us to walk in the "fruit of the Spirit": "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." In contrast, the Bible also condemns certain attitudes and actions. Not only do these behaviors displease God, but they will tear down the life of our College community. Some of those behaviors are: stealing, lying, gossip, racist conduct, use of pornography, vulgarity, back biting, sexual promiscuity, drunkenness, carousing or night club activities, brawling, and illegal activities including drug use. Members of the ICOF college community are required to commit themselves to Biblical standards of behavior. This commitment serves the good of the individual and fulfills the expectations of community life. Mutual trust and accountability are important values to our community. Therefore, violations of these Biblical standards are considered a breach of integrity within our community and will be subject to the disciplinary measures outlined above.
