A student may enter any semester in the three-year-cycle of classes. While there are no lengthy application forms to complete, a personal interview with prospective full-time students is required before such registration. We at the Institute know that we can serve students better if we know their goals, their educational background, and their present spiritual situation. These kinds of things can be best gleaned from a personal interview. If you are thinking about matriculating as a full-time student, contact A18BI’s administrator to set up an interview.
Hourly cost of courses:
Fifty percent of the tuition is required upon registration, checks payable to First Bible Baptist Church, or payable online. Full payment is due to our Financial Office by May 1 for the spring semester and December 1 for the fall semester.
While Acts 1:8 Bible Institute tuition is purposely kept affordable, students are expected to use good stewardship and maintain integrity. No student may receive final grades or a transcript, or graduate while his or her financial commitments to the Institute are delinquent.
If payment is not made, the student will receive an Incomplete and be declared ineligible for future classes until their balance is paid.
Tuition refunds will be made based on the number of weeks into the semester attended, with a 100% refund up to three weeks, 50% up to seven (7) weeks and 0% thereafter.
Spouses are encouraged to attend all courses with their husband or wife. There will be no tuition charge for the spouse.
Each instructor will inform his/her students of the required texts for the course. Purchase of required textbooks or notebooks will be the responsibility of the student. The instructor’s choice of materials will reflect lasting value in the texts.
We are created in the image of God, designed to reflect the glory of God (i.e., to be like Him, Jesus Christ).
Christians are forgiven and redeemed by the grace of God through the finished work of Jesus Christ. As believers we are to reflect the integrity, character and behavior of our Savior, Jesus Christ, in the way in which we live our lives. We must hear and do God’s words (James 1:22–25).
We are to be committed to love God, love people, serve others, and to tell everyone. To do this, the believer should strive to live a holy life, renew your mind, assemble together, submit to biblical authority, exercise wise stewardship, speak the truth in love, and display the fruit of the Spirit as a result of the filling of the Spirit.
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again” (2 Corinthians 5:14–15).
Generally, credit students have three weeks to withdraw from classes at the beginning of each semester without any academic penalty. It is very important that students remember the proper procedure concerning withdrawal from classes so that there are no misunderstandings. A credit student wishing to withdraw from a class within the grace period must inform the administration (not the instructor of the class, though the instructor may be informed by the student as a common courtesy) about his desire to withdraw, and this must be done within the grace period allowed.
Should a student neglect to inform the administration about his intent to withdraw from a course, the student will receive an F on his report card and transcript for the unofficially withdrawn course. The importance of keeping this policy in mind cannot be overemphasized.
The incomplete grade is given at the judgment of the instructor of each individual course. It is not common, nor should it be. At the discretion of the instructor, an incomplete may be given on a report card when a student could not finish a given semester because of serious illness or some other understandable reason.
An incomplete must be made up as soon as possible, by arrangement with the instructor.
Students must pass all required courses in order to graduate from A18BI.
A student desiring to repeat a course may do so for a higher grade. The new grade will replace the old grade in computation of the grade point average.
Those students auditing classes will not be required to participate or take exams. Accordingly, they will have no credit record or transcript.
Accommodations have been made for students who would like to audit courses with a view toward receiving credit for such classes. At the beginning of the semester, the audit student must inform his or her instructor of the possibility of a future change to credit. The student will then be responsible to engage in class work as if he or she were a credit student. The instructor will record the audit student’s final grade for the course. Should the audit student indeed decide to change his or her course to credit, he or she must submit the additional tuition for which that change to credit would demand. Course grade(s) will then be entered on the student’s permanent record.
