INTRODUCTION
Letter from the Director
Dear Prospective Student, Making a living is important, but so is learning how to live. By enrolling at CCBC, you are making a significant choice to wisely invest your life, and we are delighted at your interest in studying to show yourself approved unto God. You will make friends that last beyond this lifetime; some of them international students who through cross-cultural relationships will broaden your worldview. You will enjoy in-depth, verse-by-verse Bible study, learning how to rightly divide the Word of Truth and to pray with all prayer in the Spirit for Gods will to be done. Expect to be conformed more into the image of Jesus Christ by the transforming power of His Spirit working through the Word of God, and to be powerfully endowed for ministry by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. May God give you His loving heart and constrain you to participate in making disciples of all nations. The staff at CCBC earnestly prays for your calling, equipping and commission, as you give your whole heart to knowing Christ and making Him known. Cheers in Christ, Pastor David Shirley Director

General Information
Welcome to Calvary Chapel Bible College, a place where people from all over the world gather to get founded in the Word of God and seek the purpose and plan of God for their lives. CCBC was established in 1975 as a short, intensive Bible study program. It was developed as a part of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa's overall vision to equip the people of God for His service. Over 400 students currently attend CCBC. Throughout its history, CCBC has remained true to its initial vision: to be a place where committed Christians can learn the Word of God, draw closer to Jesus, and be equipped to serve Him.

Purpose & Vision


CCBCs purpose is To Know God and to Equip His Servants. Before Jesus said to Peter, Feed My sheep, He asked, Do you love Me? Until this question is settled we are not ready for true service. Our great desire at CCBC is to see each student totally committed and abandoned to Jesus Christ, loving Him with all their heart. To know Him is to love Him and we know Him through His Word. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. We purpose to give you the whole counsel of God, from Genesis to Revelation, which is sufficient to equip you. Then he said to them all, If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Our Lord came not to be served, but to serve and give His life a ransom for us all. We pray you will receive the manifold grace of God in order to develop the humble heart of a servant and be strengthened to bear much fruit, adorning the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect. This purpose and vision will be accomplished as Zechariah prophesied, Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. We expect you will be conformed more into the image of Jesus Christ and endowed for ministry by the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Affiliation
Calvary Chapel Bible College is a non-denominational institution and a ministry Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa where Chuck Smith is pastor. All members of the Bible College staff are employees and ministers of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, under the direction of its Board of Directors.

Compliance with State Requirements


Calvary Chapel Bible College meets California state requirements for religious exemption pursuant to California Education Code Section 94874(e)(1), as verified by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). The BPPE is a unit of the California Department of Consumer Affairs. The BPPE ensures that private institutions of postsecondary education are conducted lawfully. Calvary Chapel Bible College satisfies all of the applicable BPPE requirements.

Accreditation
A school is accredited when it has been investigated and found worthy of approval by an accrediting agency. Accreditation alone (or the lack of it) does not determine whether or not a school is legitimate or credible, since not all accreditation is equal. Some accrediting agencies are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), but others are not recognized. Also, some schools are based outside of the U.S. and are accredited by standards which differ from those of the recognized agencies in the U.S. Prospective students should be aware of these important distinctions. CCBC is not accredited and is not currently pursuing accreditation for two main reasons. First, we wish to continue having local pastors teach Bible classes. Some of these pastorsalthough called by God, gifted, and experienced in teachingdo not have Masters Degrees. Second, we want to keep the cost of tuition affordable so that more students have the opportunity to study at CCBC and remain free from school debt. Accreditation by a recognized agency would make it more difficult for CCBC to maintain these priorities. Instead, we have chosen to remain unaccredited and seek to demonstrate the credibility of CCBC through compliance with generally accepted accreditation standards, articulation agreements with accredited colleges, and especially through the spiritually fruitful lives of the students who have attended. Many opportunities have been available for students who are called to pursue education beyond CCBC even though academic degrees are not the main goal of our program. Although we are not accredited by a government-recognized accrediting agency, many accredited colleges have accepted some of our courses in transfer, and our Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree has been accepted by some of the finest seminaries in the nation. For more information on transferring from CCBC to other institutions, please see the Academic Information section.

Release of Student Information


Calvary Chapel Bible College voluntarily abides by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records.

Doctrinal Statement
The following doctrinal statement of faith governs the teaching at Calvary Chapel Bible College.

Scripture
We believe the Bible (i.e., the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments) is the Word of God, comprises the totality of Holy Scripture, is verbally inspired and inerrant in the original text, remains inerrant and infallible in all its substance, and is sufficient for salvation and sanctification. Therefore, it is the supreme, final, and authoritative standard for faith, theology, and life. We seek to teach the Word of God in such a way that its message can be applied to an individuals life, leading that person to greater maturity in Christ. (CCBC affirms the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy.)

Historicity
We believe in the full historicity and perspicuity of the biblical record of primeval history, including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal fall in the Garden of Eden and resultant divine curse on creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of the nations and languages at the tower of Babel.

God
We believe that the triune God eternally exists in one essence and three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; that He is essentially Spirit, personal, transcendent, sovereign, life, love, truth, almighty, simple (i.e., essentially one without parts), timelessly eternal, unchangeable, wise, just, holy, relational, pure actuality, dynamic, infallible in all things, including His foreknowledge of all future decisions and events, and that He created the heavens and the earth in six literal days.

Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, possessing two distinct natures which are co-joined in one person; that He was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless and miraculous life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His vicarious substitutionary death on the Cross, was physically resurrected in the same body that was buried in the tomb by the power of the Holy Spirit; that Jesus Christ physically ascended back to the right hand of God the Father in heaven, and ever lives to make intercession for us. After Jesus ascended to Heaven, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His

command to preach the gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today. (CCBC affirms the Apostles, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds.)

Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead who seals, indwells, sanctifies, baptizes, teaches, empowers, reveals, and guides the believer into all truth. The Holy Spirit gives gifts to whom He wills, which are valid for today, and ought to be exercised within scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to earnestly desire the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.

Mankind
We believe that man is created in the image of God; however, after the fall of Adam and Eve, all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are offered as a free gift by the Lord Jesus Christ to all based on His grace alone. When a person repents of sin and receives Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

Salvation
Salvation is initiated, attained, and procured by God through the death of Christ on the cross for our sins and His resurrection from the dead. The salvation Christ offers is available to all, and is received freely by grace alone and through faith in Christ alone, apart from good works, thereby justifying and indwelling the believer.

The Church
The universal Church is an organic body composed of all believers, both living and dead, who have been sealed by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. The church has the responsibility to worship the Lord and share the good news of Christs death and resurrection to the world, making disciples, baptizing believers, and teaching them to observe sound doctrine and live a morally pure life. We believe church government should be simple rather than a complex bureaucracy, with the utmost dependence upon the Holy Spirit to lead, rather than on fleshly promotion or worldly wisdom. The Lord has given the church two ordinances which are to continue until He returns adult baptism by immersion and Holy Communion. Water baptism is not necessary for salvation, and cannot remove sins, but is a picture of the salvation already received by the believer. We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christs sacrificial agape love, which is greater than any secondary differences

we possess, and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

Worship
We believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship. We believe worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in our worship. We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our gatherings are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshiped. We believe the worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have been truly worshiping God in spirit and truth.

Christs Return
We await the imminent rapture of the church and the second coming of Christ which will be physical, personal, visible, and premillennial. This motivates us to evangelism, holy living, heart-felt worship, committed service, diligent study of Gods Word, and regular fellowship.

Eternity
We believe those who are saved by Jesus Christ will spend eternity with Christ in heaven in a conscious state of blessedness, reward, and satisfaction; that those who do not personally receive the finished work of Christ by faith will spend eternity separated from God in a state of conscious torment.

Satan
We believe there is a real personal devil of great malevolence, cunning, and power, who seeks to deceive, tempt, kill, steal and destroy, yet his power is limited by God to only what God permits him to do; that the devil has been defeated positionally at the cross of Christ, and will be defeated practically at Christs glorious second coming which will eventuate in the permanent quarantine and punishment of the Devil, Beast, and False Prophet, in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.

We Reject:
(1) The belief that true Christians can be demon possessed and are helpless against the craft and wiles of the Devil; (2) any philosophy or theology which denies that human freewill can be exercised in the receiving of Christs free gift of salvation; specifically, we reject the belief that Jesus atonement was limited in its extent, instead, we believe that He died for all unrighteous people and that any perceived limitation rests in ones free rejection of Christs finished work of atonement, and we reject the assertion that Gods wooing grace cannot be resisted or that He has elected some people to go to hell; instead we believe that

anyone who wills to come to Christ may do so freely as a result of the Holy Spirits conviction and wooing persuasion of the heart; (3) positive confession, (e.g., the Faith Movement, that views faith as a force that can create ones own reality or that God can be commanded to heal or work miracles according to mans will and faith); (4) human prophecy that supersedes or is contrary to Scripture; (5) any introduction of psychology and philosophy which is contrary to Scripture and is in substance according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ into biblical teaching; (6) Open Theism or Freewill Theism which reduces Gods timeless, unchanging, dynamic nature, and exhaustive foreknowledge of future free decisions, to creaturely modes of being and operation; (7) the Emergent Church movement insofar as it departs from the historic orthodox Christian doctrines in favor of postmodernism, and (8) the overemphasis of spiritual gifts, experiential signs and wonders to the exclusion of biblical teaching. While Calvary Chapel Bible Colleges holds to these beliefs, we welcome any believer in the Lord Jesus Christ who has a sincere desire to grow closer to Jesus. Our desire is to share in the fellowship of Christ in a way that brings glory to God, avoiding division, and to share in His Agape love. In some cases, departure from the doctrinal statement may, in the evaluation of the College, constitute grounds for denying admission to CCBC, subsequent dismissal, or prohibition from graduating.

New Students
What to bring:

Be sure to bring a Bible! A good study Bible in an essentially literal translation such as the New King James Version, the New American Standard Version, or the English Standard Version is ideal. If you have a few Bible study resources such as a concordance, Bible dictionary, or Bible software, bring those too. If possible, bring a laptop computer with the ability to run Bible study software. All students will receive Logos Bible Software. If you are not able to bring a laptop, be sure to bring an MP3 player with ear phones for listening to the Bible Survey Tracks, which are provided to students on MP3 CDs. A multiple outlet strip with circuit breaker may also prove helpful in the dorm room. Be sure to pack an alarm clock, personal toiletries, towels, wash cloths, sheet set for a standard twin bunk bed, pillow and laundry bag. For storage, bring plastic drawers or containers with lids to fit under the bed, or small cardboard drawers.

14

Feel free to bring a bicycle and/or sports gear such as a soccer ball and cleats, basketball, tennis racket, ping-pong gear, volleyball, etc. Musical instruments such as guitars are acceptable. You may want to bring school supplies, although CCBC is located near shopping centers and there is no need to bring too many extra items. Pay phones are limited, so a cell phone is a good investment. The College office can receive incoming urgent phone messages. If you have not yet paid the tuition and fees in full, bring your method of payment for tuition balance, fees, etc. CCBC accepts Visa or MasterCard, personal checks, money orders, cash, or Traveler's Checks. Bring some spending cash for incidental expenses:

Change for laundry ($1.50 per load, detergent not included) Change for printing papers ($.10 per page) Change for dorm cleaning and bathroom supplies (roommates each pitch in a few dollars)

What not to bring:

Please be aware that video and computer games, secular music and movies and the like distract students who come to this campus to be set apart for the study of Gods Word. Computer games are not allowed to be played on campus. For music and movies, the general rule is that if the item cannot be found in a typical Christian bookstore, it is not allowed on campus. In addition, please do not bring televisions, DVD players, stereos, etc.

Beyond these practical recommendations, we hope all students come to CCBC with a heart to seek the kingdom of God first, a readiness to be transformed by the Spirit through the study of Gods Word, and an openness to love others for Jesus sake as the outworking of true faith.

This is an 80-credit degree program designed for students who want to study the Bible in order to know God more deeply through His Word and be equipped to serve Him. It is composed primarily of the Core Classes in Bible and Theology, Bible Survey courses, verse-by-verse studies of Bible books, and Practical Christian Ministry. Various Elective courses are also available. No prior college education is required for this degree, only a high school diploma or its equivalent. Students who have earned a high school diploma, California Proficiency Exam (CPE) or GED are eligible for the Associate of Theology program upon submitting complete high school transcript, CPE, or GED. Students must complete all graduation requirements as described below. Homeschooled students who desire to pursue an Associate of Theology degree must submit high school transcripts. Students who have completed secondary education outside of the United States and desire to pursue an Associate of Theology degree must submit an evaluation of foreign credentials from an evaluating agency.

Bachelor of Biblical Studies:


This degree program is composed of the same course of study as the Associate of Theology, but is designed for students who complete an Associate of Arts degree or its equivalent at an approved college or university, either before or after studying at CCBC. Students who have earned an Associate of Arts degree or the equivalent at an approved college are eligible for the Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree.

Students who have completed a degree outside of the United

19

States and desire to pursue a Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree must submit an evaluation of foreign credentials from an evaluating agency. Please allow ample time for processing.

Non-Degree Programs
Certificate of Completion:
The Certificate of Completion is intended for students who have not completed high school or have learning difficulties. The same graduation requirements for the degree programs are followed but students are graded on a Pass/Fail system based on the individual students ability and effort. These students may be enrolled in Academic Lab where they will be able to receive extra help if needed. Credits earned in the Certificate of Completion program cannot be later converted to letter grades or transferred toward a degree program. Students who want to enroll in the Certificate of Completion program and have their work graded on a Pass/Fail basis must meet with the Registrar before enrolling in classes to discuss the students academic ability and agree on an acceptable standard of grading for the students work.

Audit:
Off-campus students may audit classes for personal enrichment. Students earn an AU if he/she attended a minimum of 70% of the class, otherwise they will receive a UA. Audit students must sign the sign in sheet at class. No college credit is given and students who audit a class may not change the class to a credit class at any point in time. There is no degree or certificate awarded for classes that are audited. A student may take classes for credit and audit, but only the classes taken for credit will apply toward a degree.

Emphasis Program
When registering for classes, students may choose to pursue an emphasis by selecting particular elective courses during their studies at CCBC. Four emphasis tracks are available: Missions & Evangelism, Apologetics, Worship, and Christian Leadership. These optional emphasis tracks are available in two forms:

A special, 12-unit emphasis within the 80-unit Associate or Bachelor degree programs A short-term, 12-unit certificate of emphasis designed for part-time students (360 total clock hours instead of the 2400 required for degree programs)

20

For degree-seeking students, an emphasis track can be thought of as a minor. For more information on the emphasis program please call or download the brochure from the CCBC website.

Graduation Requirements
It is the students responsibility to track their graduation progress and enroll in classes needed for graduation. Students are encouraged to check with the Registrars Office to be sure they are on track. Students may enroll in classes through Distance Learning during breaks if needed.

Graduation Policy
Calvary Chapel Bible College trains persons for Christian ministry and leadership; it demands a high standard of character and conduct as measured by the Scriptures. Students who by the evaluation of the faculty and administration do not demonstrate these qualities during their degree or certificate program will not be recommended for graduation. Students must be recommended by the faculty to obtain graduate status prior to graduation. Fulfillment of degree requirements does not guarantee a recommendation to graduation. Calvary Chapel Bible College reserves the right to dismiss students at any time for any reason deemed appropriate by the administrative staff. Prior to degree completion the student may be required by Calvary Chapel Bible College to furnish additional and/or updated information to ensure accuracy and a complete file. *Calvary Chapel Bible College does not ordain ministers or directly place graduates in ministry positions outside the College. Occasionally, when Christian ministries announce openings for positions, the College makes the information available to students to apply for these positions if they wish to do so. However, making this information available does not constitute an endorsement of any ministry by the College.

Populi

22

CCBC provides all students with access to Populi, our web-based Student Information System. Students use this online system to apply to CCBC, pay tuition and fees, access course information, submit assignments, keep track of all grades and assignments, search for Library resources, store files, communicate with staff and faculty, print academic and financial records, and track their progress toward graduation. In order to stay current with important announcements and grading information, students are expected to remember their Populi username and password and log in regularly throughout their time at CCBC.

Graduation Tracking
All students are responsible for tracking their graduation progress regardless of the campus or campuses attended. Students should check Populi regularly and meet with the Teacher Assistants before class concerning missing assignments and absences. All graded homework should be saved and backed up, both for future reference and as proof in case of an error in grading.

Repeating a Course
Courses may not be repeated for credit unless they are attendance-based, on campus requirements or if the course has not been completed with a satisfactory grade (C- or above).

Enrollment verification letters are available from the Registrars Office upon request. Students who need an enrollment verification letter or form completed for any reason prior to registration must pay the bed deposit before verification of their enrollment will be released.

Academic Dishonesty
If a student uses another persons ideas, words, music, artwork, computations, models, or any other product of their creative or academic endeavors in such a manner as to imply that the thing used was his/her own (i.e., plagiarism) or if the student uses notes, tests or memory aids during tests when such use was not expressly authorized or if he/she appropriates or knowingly uses test master copies to gain information prior to an examination date or knowingly allows another person to use his/her work as if it were that other persons work or otherwise acts in such a manner as to gain for himself/herself or another an unfair advantage over other students (i.e., cheating), the student may face disciplinary actions as set forth in the Student Discipline section of this catalog, up to and including dismissal from the College.

Academic Standards & Attendance


Credits
Calvary Chapel Bible College operates on a 15-week semester system. One credit represents 15 hours of time spent in class. For each hour spent in class, students are assigned approximately one hour of homework to be done outside of class. Overall, one credit represents approximately 30 total hours of lecture, study, discussion, recitation, or laboratory work, or any combination thereof. All on-campus students must take a minimum of 17 credits per semester. Since 80 credits are required for graduation it is ideal for students to enroll in 20 credits each semester. The degree and certificate programs require approximately 2400 total clock hours. The short-term, 12-unit certificate of emphasis requires approximately 360 total clock hours. Off-campus students may enroll in part-time classes up to 15 credits or full-time classes with a minimum of 16 credits. Generally, students are not permitted to take more than 22 credits in a semester whether through the Main Campus or Distance Learning or a combination of both. Only students with a 3.85 GPA may enroll in up to 25 credits. No students may take more than 25 credits. Any credits exceeding 25 in a semester from an Affiliate Campus will not be accepted by the Main Campus.

24

Grading
While good grades are not the main goal of our classes, evaluation is an important tool in teaching and discipleship training. We recognize that, although all people are equal in value, they often differ in their gifts and abilities. As we design our courses and evaluate students work, we do our best to make sure that students receive grades that properly reflect the effort they put into their studies. If a student is unsatisfied with a final grade and thinks that an error has occurred in the calculation of the grade, he or she may submit a request for a grade change in writing to the Office of the Registrar within 90 days after receiving a grade report. The Office of the Registrar will review the grade and if there is sufficient evidence showing that the grade was inaccurate it will be corrected. Students are responsible to keep all graded assignments and exams. These items will be necessary whenever a request for a grade change is filed. At CCBC, we use both letter grades and grade points that count toward a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). This standard grading system makes it easier for our students to transfer credits from CCBC to other academic institutions, and applies uniformly to all courses.

Academic Lab
Students who struggle with academics are enrolled in Academic Lab, a class designed to help students overcome their difficulties and improve their study habits. Although our staff is not professionally trained to help students with learning disabilities, Academic Lab meets once per week for two hours and provides an opportunity for students to receive special help on an individual basis. It also helps determine if a student would be better suited to a non-degree program.

Academic Probation and Suspension


Grades are evaluated at the end of each semester. Those who fail two or more classes in a semester or whose grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0 will be placed in Academic Lab the following semester. Academic Lab provides two hours per week as time specifically set aside to study and receive extra help as needed. Students who fail to meet the requirements of Academic Lab and/or do not improve their GPA during this time of Academic Probation may be denied enrollment (suspended) for the following semester. Students who consistently make no effort to complete assignments or regularly skip class will be asked to withdraw, expelled, and/or suspended. The Registrar serves as the administrator of the academic policies of the College and adjudicator in academic matters. In addition to suspension for academic reasons, students may be required to withdraw from CCBC when their behavior and attitude are inconsistent with the standards and basic purpose of the College. Such withdrawals may be for a

26

specific time during which the students have time to evaluate their personal goals and relationship to the College. In some cases, pastoral counseling and a letter of recommendation from a pastor are required for re-admission. The Dean of Men and the Dean of Women serve as the administrators of the behavioral policies of the College and adjudicators in disciplinary matters.

Attendance
Time spent in class at CCBC is about much more than gathering notes and information in order to pass an exam. The great benefit of the live classroom setting is that it is a time of face-to-face fellowship and learning as a community of believers in the presence of God. Another benefit is the opportunity for the students active participationthe ability to ask questions and personally engage in discussion. For these reasons, we emphasize the need to attend class faithfully. We recognize that extenuating circumstances sometimes prevent a student from being able to attend class. For this reason, we distinguish between excused and unexcused absences. In order to provide consistency in the grading process and to free up the instructors, absences are evaluated by the Registrars Office, and not by the individual course instructors or staff members. The Registrars Office staff is available to help students regarding any concern with attendance. If a student misses class and believes it may be excused, he or she may follow these simple steps: 1. Go to the Registrars Office within 2 weeks from the date of the absence and fill out an Excused Absence Form with an explanation of the reason for the absence. 2. Optional: Go to the Library and get the audio recording. We encourage students to listen to any sessions they miss and take notes. Anytime a student is absent, he or she will be held responsible for the information covered in the class missed. 3. Upon returning to class, turn in any homework that was due on the day missed. On the front of the assignment, write Late due to absence so to avoid losing additional points. Upon review, the absence will either be excused or unexcused. If it is excused, the students grade will not be affected. If unexcused, the grade will drop by one increment. For Morning Chapel, attendance points are calculated differently (total unexcused absences are multiplied times .5) since it meets more times than the other classes.

27

Students can track their attendance on Populi, but attendance will not be factored into your grade until the end of the semester when courses are finalized. The following reasons will typically result in excused absences: 1. Sickness or medical problems that prevent the student from being able to attend class. This includes medical appointments that cannot be rescheduled. If a student is ill, the absence will be excused. We see the importance of getting rest when ill and of avoiding the spread of germs. 2. Events involving the students family or close friends that clearly require him/her to be present, normally limited to medical emergencies, funerals, baptisms, and weddings. The following reasons will usually not result in excused absences: 1. Problems with transportation to class. 2. Mission trips. (CCBC normally sets aside a special week or two during the semester for mission trips to be scheduled without conflicting with the schedule of classes. See the current Academic Calendar for details.) 3. Voluntary commitments that conflict with the class schedule. We understand that sometimes things come up which the student may feel are more urgent than attending class on a given day. However, students must count the cost ahead of time in terms of how their grade will be affected. Students will not be able to finish with a perfect grade without perfect attendance. Students need to be on time for class. This means that if a class is scheduled to start at 2:00, the student has signed it and is seated before 2:00. A student is counted as tardy (late) for a class when he/she signs in within 15 minutes after the class is scheduled to begin. A students grade will be reduced by one increment for every 2 tardies. If a student arrives more than 15 minutes after a class is scheduled to begin, he/she is counted as absent. Note: If an instructor arrives more than 15 minutes after a class is scheduled to begin and class has not begun, students are free to leave without being counted, absent. For obvious reasons, students who consistently skip class for frivolous reasons may be suspended or expelled. If a student believes a decision regarding their attendance is unjust, he or she may submit a written appeal by email to registrar@calvarychapel.com.

28

Withdrawal Procedure
On-campus students desiring to withdraw from school must meet with the Dean of Men or Dean of Women. The student is then responsible to complete the Withdrawal Form and return it to the Dean of Men or Dean of Women. If a student withdraws for any reason after the Withdrawal Deadline (see the Academic Calendar) he/she will receive an Unofficial Withdrawal (UW) for the semester. This calculates as an F, affecting the students grade point average. Withdrawals due to illness or emergencies as approved by the Registrar will result in an Official Withdrawal (W) which will not affect the students grade point average.

Transcripts, Degree Up-Grade, Diploma Re-issue


Transcripts
The Transcript Request Form is available on the CCBC website. Transcript requests cannot be processed prior to payment. Transcripts are $5 each. This fee is non-refundable. Please allow 2 weeks for delivery. Note: If you attended prior to 1992 contact the Registrars Office before requesting transcripts as the current filing system was not in place at the time.

Degree Upgrade
If a student has graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College with an Associate of Theology degree and has since earned an Associate of Arts degree or its equivalent from an approved institution, the student is eligible for a degree upgrade. The student must complete and mail the Up-Grade form. There is a nonrefundable $50 upgrade fee. Up-Grade Requests will be processed upon receipt of all materials as listed on the Up-Grade Request form which is available on the website. Please note that any incomplete information cannot be processed. Once the information has been reviewed, the student will be contacted and notified of their degree status. As diplomas are ordered once a semester, the student will receive their new diploma at the end of the current semester if the up-grade request was made prior to the 8th week of that semester. Otherwise the diploma will be issued at the end of the following semester.

Diploma Reissue
If a students diploma has been lost or damaged, he or she may contact the Registrars Office and request a new copy for a non-refundable fee of $50. The student should allow up to three weeks for delivery.

29

Transferring to and from other Institutions


Transferring Credits to CCBC
Students who have studied Bible or theology at other institutions may request review by the Registrar to transfer credits to CCBC. A maximum of 12 credit units may be transferred from another school toward the two-year program at CCBC. Courses will be examined individually and must be deemed identical or very similar in content to courses offered at CCBC. Any credits that are transferred will count toward Electives or Bible Elective credits only. Credit cannot be awarded by CCBC for life experience. Degrees cannot be granted retroactively from the time before CCBC was authorized to grant degrees, prior to 1991. Thus, Certificates of Completion from Calvary Chapel Bible School cannot be exchanged for the Associate of Theology or Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree from CCBC. Classes and standards for graduation have changed considerably over the years. All work completed at any institution must apply towards the degree granted. Degrees cannot be granted for work done which applied towards another degree except where deemed appropriate by the administration. Courses completed at a Calvary Chapel School of Ministry and Calvary Chapel School of Worship are also evaluated according to this policy. The purpose for these policies is to prevent CCBC from being anything like a diploma mill and to ensure that the degrees offered by CCBC are of the highest integrity. To request a transfer credit evaluation, please submit your official transcripts from the institution(s) you have attended. No official evaluation can be made without official transcripts. In some cases, you may be asked to provide additional information about your coursework in order to complete the evaluation. CCBC will maintain a written record of the students previous education and official transcripts and a record showing that transfer credit was granted, if appropriate, with the student notified accordingly. For students who receive VA benefits, the VA will also be notified. For information and policies regarding transfers to and from Affiliate Campuses, please see the Affiliate Campus section of this catalog.

Transferring from CCBC to Another Institution

30

Students have many opportunities to build on their biblical education and pursue further study beyond CCBC at accredited Christian colleges and seminaries. Many accredited colleges have recognized CCBC as a credible Bibleteaching institution and have accepted CCBC courses in transfer. Also, some of the finest seminaries in the nation have recognized CCBCs Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree as meeting the admissions requirements for their masters degree programs. The following list includes some of the institutions which have accepted credit from Calvary Chapel Bible College or admitted students to graduate programs who have earned the B.B.S. degree from CCBC. Each institution may accept transfer credits or grant admission for students on a case-by-case basis. They have reserved the right not to accept certain credits or admit students as they deem appropriate.

OT312 Leviticus (2 credits)


This course is a verse-by-verse study through Leviticus, focusing on God's principles for worship, service, obedience and holiness: the believer's priestly calling. This focus is the reason for the Hebrew title for Leviticus: And He called.

OT331 Song of Solomon (2 credits)

In addition, we will see clear teaching about the relationship between the believer and the Lord Jesus Christ.

OT332 Isaiah (2 credits)

Both books present the stories of women who faced great challenges in their lives and met these times of trial with courage and commitment to God. They serve as excellent examples, even to women of the 21st century, of living lives surrendered to God. As we come to understand the events of these Scriptures, we will gain insight into the sovereignty of God and the nature of a life guided by His hand.

OT362 I & II Kings (2 credits)

STUDENT LIFE
Introductory Letter
In the world that we are living in today there are obviously many things that a person can invest his or her life in. However, of all that a person can choose to do, there is absolutely nothing more worthy than devoting oneself to the service of God. Here at CCBC students have a unique opportunity to step away from all the distractions for the sake of studying the Word of God, for it is through God's Word that one can develop a life of communion with Christ. In Numbers 6:1-8, the Lord instructs His people on the Nazirite vow. It is described as a vow of separation to the Lord. If an Israelite desired to deepen his commitment to the Lord he would willingly make this vow. By doing so, he would be choosing to abstain from anything made from grapes, stay away from dead bodies, and not cut his hair. It was not an issue of haircuts, grapes, or funerals, but a separation for the sake of intimacy with God. Things that were normally acceptable for the Nazirite were no longer his desire. A student's life here at CCBC is in some ways similar to a vow of this sort. There is a setting aside of unimportant things for the sake of "pressing towards the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." May you discover God's will for your life as you seek His face. Jason Cunningham Dean of Men Megan Crawford Dean of Women

Practical Guidelines
At Calvary Chapel Bible College it is our desire that all would draw closer to Jesus and grow daily in His grace. As we grow in Christ-likeness, we will be less concerned about pleasing ourselves and more concerned about pleasing God and being a blessing to others. Most people are not crazy about rules and regulations, but we do need guidelines. In the same way as traffic rules are necessary so that we will not be driving in a hundred different directions and running into each other, our campus rules help ensure an appropriate

environment for all students to study the Word of God. Our desire is to build up our brothers and sisters by allowing the focus to be on Christ and not ourselves. By the law of love we forfeit all rights to the self-life. This may sound radical, but it is the everyday cost of discipleship. This season in the lives of those who come to Calvary Chapel Bible College is an opportunity not only to grow spiritually but to be challenged practically in the ability to love others and to consider others better than ourselves.

Dorm Room Living


Students are assigned a bunk, a small closet, and bathroom storage space. Please limit what you bring as you will be sharing the room with other students and space is limited. Under each bunk bed there is a storage space 13 high, to be shared by two students. Food is not allowed in the dorm rooms, but there are individual storage bins and limited refrigerator space for food located in the student dining area. Sorry, no pets either!

Curfew
All students will be held to the campus curfews of 12:00 a.m. (midnight) Sunday through Thursday. All students must be in bed with lights out by midnight. Off campus students must leave the campus by this time. There is no curfew on the weekends, Friday and Saturday but campus security staff will still take note of those who are outside of their dorms past midnight for the sake of accountability.

Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Personal bunk lights may be left on, but overhead lights must be turned off in the dorm rooms. There is to be no talking, laughing, etc., including talking on cell phones, in or around the dorms after 10:00 pm. This time has been set aside to allow for sleep, personal devotions, study, or prayer.

Visitors
CCBC welcomes visitors who wish to view the campus. Informative tours of the campus and classroom visits can be arranged by calling the CCBC Front Office at 951.696.5944. Visitors who wish to stay on campus for one or more nights need to contact the Conference Center at 951.698.5031 to arrange lodging.

48

Students guests are not permitted to stay in dorms, as the dorms are only to be occupied by currently enrolled on-campus students.

Code of Conduct
Following behavior is deemed unacceptable for CCBC students and may result in immediate dismissal:

The use of alcohol, tobacco, or any illegal drugs (Gal. 5:19-21) Any type of sexual impurity or immorality (Gal. 5:19) Cheating on tests, plagiarizing papers or signing someone else into class (1 Cor. 6:8) Stealing or borrowing without permission (Eph. 4:28) Violence of any kind, including threats of violence and vulgar language (Rom. 1:29-30) Discrimination, general harassment, or sexual harassment (Rom. 13:8) Departure from CCBCs Doctrinal Statement of Faith (Phili. 1:27) Ignoring or breaking any law of the State of California or of the United States of America (Rom. 13:1, 2) Smoking. CCBC is a non-smoking facility. Smoking is unacceptable for all CCBC staff and students. Damaging CCBC property. Students are to take good care of the CCBC facilities, including the dorm rooms. Any person who carelessly damages CCBC property will be required to pay for the damages. This policy also applies to the property of Calvary Chapel Conference Center, which shares the campus with CCBC.

We discuss our code of conduct more fully during Registration and Orientation Week, when all students take time to review all of the guidelines set forth in the Student Handbook.

Dress Code
The dress code at Calvary Chapel Bible College is very casual. The purpose of the following guidelines is to set a general standard of modesty that will help men and women avoid being distracted by the physical attributes of their classmates. It is expected that students adhere to the following standards of modesty:

Clothing & Swimwear


Men need to wear shirts with sleeves at all times when outside the pool area; no tank tops, muscle shirts, or low-riding pants that show underwear. For

49

swimwear, loose-style swimming trunks are appropriate. For women, clothes that show the stomach or back, short shorts, short shirts, or tight/low-cut clothing are not permissible. For swimming, one-piece bathing suits or modest tankini suits are appropriate. Once out of the swimming enclosure, a cover up must be worn by both men and women.

Body Piercing & Tattoos


Body piercing is not permitted at Calvary Chapel Bible College, with the exception of girl's ears and small nose jewelry for girls. If you have had your body pierced in any other way, we simply ask that you do not wear body jewelry while attending the College, nor should you acquire any new tattoos during your time at Bible College. Off-campus students are to adhere to the same standards as on-campus students.

Student Discipline
In addition to suspension for academic reasons, students may be required to withdraw from CCBC when their behavior and attitude are inconsistent with the standards and basic purpose of the College. Such withdrawals may be for a specific time during which the students have time to evaluate their personal goals and relationship to the College. In some cases, pastoral counseling and a letter of recommendation from a pastor are required for re-admission. The Dean of Men and the Dean of Women serve as administrators of the policies of the College and adjudicators in disciplinary matters. For infractions of laws, regulations, policies, and standards, students may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the institution. Such disciplinary action may be imposed for violations that occur off campus when the violation may have an adverse effect on the educational mission of the College and/or students of the College. When the administrative staff of CCBC must address matters of student conduct requiring discipline, it is done with the goal of restoration (Galatians 6:1). Assessment takes into account the nature of the problem as well as the students attitude. Students are expected to conform to biblical standards of morality and consideration of others. Students may appeal administrative decisions in writing.

Student Housing
CCBC offers on campus housing to single, full-time students who are enrolled in 17 or more credits. We have six dormitories, each with its own unique location on our beautiful 47-acre campus. Every dorm is equipped with air-conditioning, a full bathroom in each room, and bunk beds. Students thoroughly clean their dorm rooms at least once a week to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for all residents.

50

Although we do occasionally offer limited on-campus housing for married couples, our office also keeps a current list of available rooms and apartments for rent nearby. We are happy to provide this information for students who wish to find housing off campus, especially since many of our listings prefer CCBC students as tenants.

Internet Access
CCBC provides wireless Internet access at several locations on campus, including the Library and Computer Lab, Coffee Shop, Recreation Room, and Cafeteria. The Internet on campus is filtered so that inappropriate content is not accessible. Students receive a Wifi account when they register for classes, and must sign an Acceptable Use Policy before their account becomes account.

DISTANCE LEARNING
Introduction
Welcome to Calvary Chapel Bible College Distance Learning! Our mission is to train Christian men and women to handle and communicate the inerrant and infallible written Word of God, which leads to a life that reflects a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. It has always been our purpose to develop Christ-like character and a thorough academic and devotional understanding of the Bible as we focus on the verse-by-verse teaching of the whole counsel of God. This is accomplished by delivering college level curriculum in audio format. We offer courses in biblical studies, theology, history, Christian life, missions, and ministry. There are many good reasons to consider a Calvary Chapel education. However, the most important reason is, and has always been, our philosophy of ministry and personal spiritual growth. We rely on the sufficiency of Gods Word to spiritually transform the student into Christs image, nothing more and nothing less. Throughout our history, the college has remained true to its initial vision: to provide an atmosphere where committed Christians can learn the Word of God and draw closer to Christ. We desire to see each student excel in several areas as expressed in the following objectives: 1. To deepen the students relationship and dependency on Christ in life and ministry through Bible study, prayer, and worship. 2. To encourage dependency on the enabling work of the Holy Spirit in his/her life and ministry. 3. To increase the students awareness of and involvement in evangelism, church planting, and world missions. 4. To help the student gain an appreciation for the Christian perspective on theological, moral, and practical issues. If you desire to know Christ through the rigorous study of His Word in a flexible and convenient atmosphere, and sense Gods leading, then Calvary Chapel Bible College Distance Learning is for you! Blessings, Joe Holden Director of Distance Learning

Historical Sketch
Distance Learning has been providing learning opportunities since 1985. It was developed to allow students who are unable to attend the main campus or an affiliate campus, to obtain the same quality of education and degree as our resident students. The school has grown rapidly, attracting students from all over the United States and several other countries including Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Russia, India, and South Korea. Distance Learning is comprised of two mediums of study: the School of Correspondence Education and the School of Online Education. Distance Learning is a department of Calvary Chapel Bible College, which is comprised of two distinct mediums of study, delivering undergraduate course curriculum in order to obtain an Associate of Theology or a Bachelor of Biblical Studies. The two mediums are the School of Correspondence Education and the School of Online Education.

Correspondence Education
The School of Correspondence Education is a paper-based program which offers classes through the mail. This may be preferable for the student who would like a more hands-on, concrete approach to the assignments, or does not have reliable internet access necessary for the online program. The student may contact the Academic Supervisor at any time throughout the course for instruction on assignments.

Prison Education
The Prison Education program was developed as a Bible college opportunity for those who are incarcerated. This program is similar to the correspondence program; however, some policies have been altered to better fit the prison system and aid the student in completing the requirements. The time frame for completing a class has been extended, classes are in MP3 CD or audio cassette format, and sponsors inside and outside the prison aid the student to ensure that the materials are delivered and questions are sufficiently answered.

Online Education
The School of Online Education offers courses with increased flexibility and less expense to the student who prefers an electronic format. Students access course lectures and materials anywhere in the world where high-speed internet is available. Another added benefit of this program is the increased communication with the student. Students receive feedback on assignments regularly allowing them to track their progress throughout the course.

53

International Student Program (ISP)


In our effort to make an undergraduate Bible college education available to students in developing nations and full-time Christian educators or ministry workers born in developing nations, we have created a special tuition and administrative fee schedule: 1. $25 One-time Administrative Fee (Regular fee for non-ISP students is $50) Students should submit the regular online admission application and call (951) 696-5944 to pay $25 administrative fee. 2. $100 Per Course (Regular price for non-ISP students is $100 per unit) 3. Textbooks are not included, but are available for purchase on request. Students applying for the ISP discount cannot be citizens of nor reside in the United States, European Union, Canada, Australia, South Korea, or Japan. Students will receive special instructions upon acceptance into the ISP regarding the enrollment and purchase of courses. The ISP does not apply to correspondence (paper-based) education and is limited to online courses only. All students enrolled in courses living outside the continental United States are subject to shipping charges that are higher than the standard rate inside the United States due to location. Please check with the college administrator for the latest shipping fees to your area. Please call the Distance Learning department or visit the Distance Learning page of our website for more information. Distance Learning course catalogs are also available. 951.696.5944 x359

Distance Learning Applicants


Distance Learning desires students who are committed to Jesus Christ. Students are required to read, understand, and adhere to the colleges statement of purpose and faith. Since Distance Learning is an undergraduate institution, the prerequisite for enrollment to any degree program is evidence of completion of high school, G.E.D, or the successful completion of the California High School Proficiency Exam. Home-schooled applicants must provide an official record of completion from their home school association. Those students who cannot verify high school graduation must fulfill this requirement through traditional means or take

54

the G.E.D. equivalency test before entering into a degree program. If no high school completion verification can be provided, students are encouraged to apply to the Certificate of Completion program and/or continue to work towards completion of their high school requirements. Once all application materials have been received, evaluated, and accepted into the program, the applicant will receive important information from Distance Learning including a letter of acceptance, registration information, course catalog, and important dates to remember. Though there is no application deadline, please allow three weeks for processing.

New Students: First Time Applicants


New students who desire to apply for admission to any degree program with Distance Learning must submit a completed application. Applications will not be evaluated until all material is received. The admissions committee will evaluate applications only when a complete application has been received. The student may send officially sealed transcripts with his/her application or have them sent directly from the institution itself to the Distance Learning office. Any student who has been admitted to Distance Learning and remains inactive for 12 consecutive months (evidenced by a lack of course registration) will be required to submit a new application for admission and $50 administration fee. A student is considered full time if he/she takes a minimum of 12 credits with a maximum of 25 credits per academic module.

New Transfer Students/Bible Transfer Credits


Students who desire to transfer coursework from another institution into Distance Learning for credit should request all official transcripts along with a catalog containing the previous colleges statement of faith (if applicable) and course descriptions to be sent to the Registrar for evaluation. Distance Learning will evaluate transfer credit for only Bible courses and transfer credits may only be used to fulfill elective classes. Transferable Bible electives are considered to be courses that are academic subjects. All courses that are technical, performance, non-academic, or vocational are not eligible for transfer. Nor are courses below the 100 level that are considered college preparatory or remedial. Transfer students may transfer a maximum of 12 credits. The student should not assume that all Bible coursework will transfer. The registrar makes final decisions after carefully considering each course and comparing it to the required coursework of the Distance Learning program. Transfer students are required to submit a completed application identical to that of New Students. Students interested in transferring credits should have official copies of their academic transcripts along with the institutions course

55

catalog sent to the Distance Learning Office.

Affiliate Campus Transfer Students


Students who are currently, or have in the past, enrolled at a Calvary Chapel Bible College Affiliate Campus and now desire to enroll in a certificate or degree program must complete a full application through Distance Learning. If the student has been academically inactive for a period of one year, he/she is required to submit a $50 administration fee with his/her application. The $50 fee will be waived for students who have been active at an Affiliate Campus within the previous year. Students who desire to transfer credits earned at Affiliate Campuses into Distance Learning may be able to apply those credits to required and elective correspondence courses. Each transfer course must be evaluated by the Administrative Manager. Please see the Affiliate Campus section for more information.

Main Campus Transfer Students


Students who are currently, or have in the past, enrolled in a degree program at Calvary Chapel Bible Colleges main campus, and desire to enroll into a degree program at Distance Learning, must submit an Exempt Admission Form to the Administrative Manager. This will authorize and facilitate the transfer of records from the Main Campus into Distance Learning. If records are partially or wholly unavailable, the student must submit what is lacking in the application. If the student has been academically inactive for the previous 12 months, a nonrefundable $50 administration fee must accompany the Exempt Admission Form. Students who desire to transfer credits earned at Calvary Chapel Bible Colleges Main Campus into Distance Learning may apply those credits to required and/or elective correspondence courses. Each transfer course must be evaluated by the Administrative Manager.

Non-native English Speaking Students


Applicants who are not native English speakers are required to demonstrate proficiency in English by submitting satisfactory TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores taken within two years prior to the date of application. For the written TOEFL test, scores must be 500 or above for acceptance and for the computer based test the minimum score is 175. Information about TOEFL may be obtained from: TOEFL P.O.

Distance Learning Academic Policy


Grading
The courses are graded on a letter grade basis, with the Academic Supervisor responsible for assigning a grade. The grade will be based on the course assignments. The final grade will be based on the number of accumulated points, out of 100 possible points. If a student is unsatisfied with a final grade and thinks that an error has occurred in the calculation of the grade, he/she may submit a grade dispute in writing to Distance Learning, Attention: Academic Committee, along with a copy of the coursework in question and the corresponding grading checklist within two weeks of receiving the grade. If you are planning to graduate, or need your grade recorded before the due date, please allow adequate time for the grading of all assignments.

Examinations, Notes, and Assignments


All examinations and assignments offered by Distance Learning are open-book and unproctored. However, course requirements must be completed without the assistance of another individual. The student must submit original examinations, notes, and assignments to Distance Learning for grading. Each student is encouraged to make copies of their coursework for their own records in case not all materials are received by the school due to human or mechanical error. It is the students responsibility to ensure all materials are enclosed in a proper format for grading. All examinations and coursework must be submitted on clean paper with all appropriate headings and content according to course instructions. All research papers or reports submitted for grading must follow the instructions given in the Course Requirements. Due to the nature of distance education, all classes require notes based on audio lectures and textbook evaluation papers. These papers and notes must reflect the content of the author and/or lecturer regardless of the students personal conviction. Simply writing Scripture passages or unrelated material is unacceptable and is not fulfilling the course requirements. Calvary Chapel Bible College, Distance Learning requires 100% completion of lecture notes. The primary focus of the class is for the student to access and comprehend all the lecture content provided. Our desire is that each student would grow in Christ and learn from the Word of God while listening to the lectures. So then faith cometh by

61

hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Each student is required to fulfill the lecture note-taking assignment showing full verse coverage of the lecture. Since Lecture notes are the only way to assess whether or not the student has listened to the lectures, we ask that the student be thorough. For each missing lecture note assignment or lecture note assignment showing incomplete lecture coverage, one letter grade increment will be dropped from the FINAL GRADE (Example: B+ to B).

Shipping Course Materials


Note: Due to the dimensions of our shipping materials, any binders larger than 11" x 3" x 13" will not be returned with graded coursework.

Course Withdrawal/Change of Status


Changes in a students academic load, such as withdrawing from a course, requires the completion of a Withdrawal Form which can be obtained in the back of the Course Guide for SCE students and on the Online School homepage for SOE students. Students withdrawing from a course within the first five weeks of the course start date will receive a W (withdraw). Any withdrawal after the end of the fifth week will earn a UW (unofficial withdraw) which will affect the students GPA.

Refund and Credit Policy


All students who are unable to complete the course for any reason, such as incomplete work or course withdrawal will not receive a monetary refund for their courses. They may, however, receive tuition credit that can be applied toward another course. While tuition credit may be issued, material costs along with administrative fees are nonrefundable. The following determines the percentage of tuition fees to be credited to the students account: Courses dropped before the official course start date Courses dropped by the end of the second week Courses dropped by the end of the third week Courses dropped by the end of the fourth week Courses dropped by the end of the fifth week There are no credits after the end of the fifth week 100% 80% 70% 60% 50% 0%

Due Date Extensions


Students who have enrolled in a course and do not complete their requirements by the due date may purchase an extension for $50, granting them an additional 1 month (per

62

class). A maximum of two extensions are permitted. As a result, the students official grade will be entered as an I (incomplete) through the extension period and subsequently changed to their final grade upon the completion of the course or the expiration of their extension, whichever comes first. Extensions may only be ordered within the final week of the course module. If the student does not make arrangements before/on the expiration of the course due date to purchase an extension, he/she will not receive credit for any late assignments. There will be no verbal extensions issued by Distance Learning. Purchasing of an extension must be completed by calling the Distance Learning office at (951) 696-5944 before 4:30pm (PST) on the Due Date of the course. An extension verification letter will be mailed to the student for each extension purchased. For each extension purchased, the students final grade will be lowered 10 points, bringing a 100 to a 90, etc. If returned coursework is postmarked after the class/extension due date it is considered late and consequently the student will receive an UW for the course, which will affect the students GPA. There are no exceptions. Prison extensions can also be acquired by calling the Distance Learning office within the final week of the course module; however, there is no monetary charge or grade point deduction.

Academic Probation
Students whose cumulative GPA drops below 2.0, or whose previous semester GPA is below 2.0, will be placed on academic probation during the following module. Students on academic probation will be restricted to three (3) credits the following enrollment period. If the students GPA does not improve at the conclusion of the next module, he or she will be asked to counsel with Distance Learning in order to set up a system of academic accountability or be suspended from the college. The student who is suspended for academic reasons will not be considered for reenrollment until the student appeals to and is accepted by the academic committee.

Distance Learning Academic Policy


Time for Degree Completion
The Certificate of Completion, Associate of Theology, and Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree programs are designed to be completed at the students own pace and not to exceed seven (7) calendar years from the students initial enrollment.

Graduation Policy
Calvary Chapel Bible College trains individuals for Christian ministry and leadership; therefore, it demands a high standard of character and conduct as measured by the

63

Scriptures. Students who by the evaluation of the faculty and administration do not demonstrate these qualities during their degree or certificate program will not be recommended for graduation. In addition, students must be recommended by the faculty to obtain graduation status prior to graduation. Fulfillment of degree requirements does not guarantee a recommendation to graduation status. Distance Learning reserves the right to dismiss students at any time for any reason. Prior to degree completion the student may be required by Calvary Chapel Bible College to furnish additional and/or updated information to ensure accuracy and a complete application file per the Bureau for Private Post-secondary Education. Students must submit the Petition for Graduation form at the time of enrollment into their final class prior to graduation. The form may be obtained through the Distance Learning business office. There is a graduation fee of $50.

Transcripts
Upon graduation, students will receive an unofficial academic grade report reflecting grades received for coursework at no charge. Any subsequent requests for official transcripts must be made to the Main Campus using the Transcript Request Form available from the Downloads section of the CCBC website. The form must be accompanied with a $5 payment for each transcript requested. Please allow 2-3 weeks for processing and delivery.

Disclaimer
While every effort is made to provide accurate and up-to-date information, Calvary Chapel Bible College Distance Learning reserves the right to alter, without notice, statements in the catalog concerning policies, procedures, academic offerings, and tuition fees.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. -Psalm 19:7-11

AFFILIATE CAMPUSES & SCHOOLS


Introduction
Affiliate Campuses and Affiliate Schools provide a range of opportunities for students to add to their Bible College experience. Students can begin or continue their Bible College studies at these Affiliates located throughout the United States and overseas. Please carefully read the introductory information below and the section entitled Affiliate Campus Policies if you are interested in these opportunities. Note: the terms CCBC and Main Campus are synonymous and are variously used below to refer to Calvary Chapel Bible College located in Murrieta, CA. Affiliate Campuses and Schools use a distinct name and typically refer to themselves as CCBC of a particular location (e.g. CCBC Europe or CCBC Indianapolis). The Affiliates are free-standing Bible college ministries of local churches overseen by Calvary Chapel pastors who are affiliated through Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship (CCOF). They are legally and financially independent of the Main Campus, and set their own policies. Affiliate Campuses offer full room and board accommodations along with classes while Affiliate Schools offer classes only. The Affiliates offer a course of study that is similar to the CCBC Main Campus. Because of the like-mindedness of these Affiliates and the Main Campus, students are able to transfer easily between these institutions. In order to maintain credibility and accountability, Affiliate Campuses and Schools submit all course information for each semester to the Main Campus for review to determine transferability of courses to the Main Campus. International Affiliate Campuses give students an opportunity for a first-hand cross-cultural experience. Most of these campuses originated from a church planted in the area where the campus continues to be an integral part of the work. Students learn practical ministry in a closely knit community atmosphere, and engage in the lives of the church members. Much more than a simple lab assignment, students minister and allow God to work out what He has worked in. Any additional information may be obtained by visiting the Affiliate Campuss website and/or contacting the Affiliate Campus. At the Calvary Chapel Bible College website, go to Affiliate Campuses for links to the individual Affiliate Campus websites.

Students who attend an Affiliate Campus, as with all other students, are responsible to track their own graduation progress according to the Main Campus requirements listed on the Graduation Worksheet. To download this form or complete it online, please navigate to the Downloads section of the Calvary Chapel Bible College website.

Affiliate Campus Policies


Our desire is that great numbers of students will continue to be blessed and be a blessing as they attend the Affiliate Campuses and Schools. We hope these policies will strengthen the relationship between the Main Campus and the Affiliates and help ensure continuity and integrity for students long into the future. These policies are effective for students who have applied or will apply for the Fall 2010 semester and all semesters thereafter: For legal reasons and reasons related to the credibility of CCBCs program, the Main Campus will issue degrees or accept credits in transfer from Affiliate Campuses and Schools only for students who have applied to and have attended or will attend CCBCs Main Campus in Murrieta, CA. In order to receive a degree from the Main Campus students are required to attend a minimum of one full-time semester (or the equivalent of 20 credit hours) at the Main Campus. This requirement may also be fulfilled by completing courses through CCBCs Distance Learning Department which operates as part of the Main Campus in Murrieta, CA. Students may choose to attend an Affiliate Campus for their first semester. These students can later apply to the Main Campus for future semesters and request to transfer units to the Main Campus at that time. The application fee is waived for students who have attended an Affiliate Campus within the past 12 months, but a full Main Campus application is required. Students who complete all of their coursework at Affiliate Campuses will only be eligible for the certificate or degree issued by the Affiliate Campus they attend. Since not all Affiliates offer their own degrees or certificates, students should check with the particular Affiliate they are interested in attending to see what is offered. Upon review and approval by the Main Campus Registrars Office, a maximum of 60 units may be transferred from Affiliates to CCBCs Main Campus. The Main Campus will only issue official transcripts and enrollment verification letters for students who attend CCBCs Murrieta campus or Distance Learning. From the perspective of the Main Campus, it is recommended that students who wish to study abroad complete their first semester of study at CCBC in Murrieta, continue at Affiliate Campuses for their second and/or third semesters, then return to CCBC for their final semester. Following this plan allows tracking for graduation and makes the process of transferring credits easier for students.

66

Coursework may not transfer from Affiliates to the Main Campus if the coursework does not conform to Main Campus standards or if paperwork is not received on time. The Main Campus will only consider accepting courses in transfer that were taken at the physical location of the Affiliate Campus or School. Affiliates Distance Learning courses and courses completed at extensions of Affiliates will not be accepted in transfer to the Main Campus. Students may contact the CCBC Registrars Office at any time for information regarding transferabilty of coursework from specific Affiliate Campuses and Schools. The Affiliate Campus Registrar serves as part of the Main Campus Registrars Office and is the administrator of CCBCs policies regarding Affiliate Campuses and Schools.

Graduating at Affiliate Campuses


During the semester prior to graduation, students need to meet with the Affiliate Campus Registrar at the Main Campus. Students who are attending an Affiliate Campus that semester need to contact the Affiliate Campus Registrar by phone or email. Students are encouraged to contact the Affiliate Campus Registrar at any time regarding graduation requirements, transferability of credits from Affiliate Campuses, the graduation ceremony, etc. All students are responsible for knowing the graduation requirements as determined by the Main Campus. Graduation paperwork will be completed at the beginning of the semester of graduation and sent by the Affiliate Campus to the Main Campus. Students are welcome to participate in the graduation ceremony at the Main Campus even if they are attending an Affiliate Campus or School when they complete the graduation requirements. Be sure to check with the Affiliate Campus to ensure that the semester dates do not conflict then contact the Affiliate Campus Registrar to arrange your participation in the graduation ceremony.
