University
CHARTER
The general nature and object of the corporation shall be to
conduct an institution of learning for the general education
of youth in the essentials of culture and the arts and sciences,
giving special emphasis to the Christian religion and the ethics
revealed in the Holy Scriptures; combating all atheistic, agnostic,
pagan and so-called scientific adulterations of the Gospel;
unqualifiedly affirming and teaching the inspiration of the Bible
(both the Old and the New Testaments); the creation of man by
the direct act of God; the incarnation and virgin birth of our Lord
and Saviour, Jesus Christ; His identification as the Son of God; His
vicarious atonement for the sins of mankind by the shedding of
His blood on the cross; the resurrection of His body from the
tomb; His power to save men from sin; the new birth through the
regeneration by the Holy Spirit; and the gift of eternal life by the
grace of God.

THE CREST
The scales represent the proper balance of life and the
fact that man weighed in God’s balances is always found
wanting; the cross speaks of Christ and our redemption;
the book is the Word of God; the lamp is the light of
Truth; and the rampant Bruin represents the uniqueness
and unity of our university community. The BJU motto,
Petimus Credimus (“we seek, we trust”), underscores the
University’s foundation and purpose. We seek to inculcate
into our students a desire for knowledge of the arts and
sciences, and we seek to satisfy that desire. We trust the
Bible as the inspired Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ as
the only hope of the world and His Gospel as the solution
to the problems of our day.

THE PLEDGE
Bob Jones University is determined that no school shall excel it in
the thoroughness of its scholastic work and, God helping it, in the
thoroughness of its Christian training.

It is understood that attendance at Bob Jones University is a privilege and not a right, which may be forfeited by any student
who does not conform to the standards and regulations of the institution. BJU may request withdrawal of any student at any
time, who, in the opinion of the University, does not fit the spirit of the institution, regardless of whether or not he or she
conforms to specific policies and regulations of BJU.

TO UNDERGRADUATE
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
This catalog has been written and designed to answer most of the questions that might be asked about
the University’s academic programs and services, as well as its academic, admission, registration,
curriculum development and research policies. The volume is intended to be used as a guideline and
does not create an expressed or implied contract.
Bob Jones University (BJU) reserves the right to expand, delete or otherwise modify its degree
programs or courses of study and associated policies; to change its rules and policies affecting the
admission and retention of students or the granting of credit or degrees; to change the academic
calendar, course offerings, course content or academic programs; or to alter its fees and other charges
whenever such changes are judged by it to be desirable or necessary. In any such case, BJU will give
appropriate notice as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.
Candidates for admission to any of the schools of BJU must give evidence of good character. Students
transferring from other institutions may be asked to present statements of honorable dismissal.
Any applicants whose admission falls outside of those criteria described in the paragraphs below will
go to the Admission Committee for a decision. The director of Admission will inform the applicants
of the admission decision.

NOTIFICATION OF NONDISCRIMINATION
BJU admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges,
programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the institution. It does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, age, sex, protected disability or
veteran status in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan
programs, and athletic and other institution-administered programs.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (ACT, SAT OR CLT)

College entrance examination scores, American College Test (ACT), SAT by College Board or
Classic Learning Test (CLT), are requested of all undergraduate applicants. These scores are helpful
in assessing an applicant’s college-level academic readiness, predicting future academic success,
deciding placement, advising him or her during his or her college career, and determining merit-
based financial aid.
Each applicant is urged to apply for and take a required examination well in advance of the semester
for which he or she seeks admission. An applicant who does not take a test prior to enrollment must
register for and take a test during his or her initial semester in residence. If a student fails to take a
test during his or her initial semester in residence, BJU will place an admission hold, preventing the
student from registering for future classes.
 15

The examinations are administered nationally on established schedules with a closing date for each
administration. Information, dates of administration, registration, etc., are available online for ACT
(www.actstudent.org), SAT (www.collegereadiness.collegeboard.org) and CLT (cltexam.com). High
school students may also secure information about these tests from their principal or academic
counselor or by contacting Admission at Bob Jones University. In completing a test application
form, applicants are requested to indicate that a copy of their scores be sent directly to Bob Jones
University.
Bob Jones University’s code number is 3836 for the ACT and 5065 for the SAT (CLT, no code).

2. Fill in the application form completely.
3. Upon receipt of these materials, Admission at Bob Jones University will process the application,

Former Students Who Have Been Suspended or Denied Re-enrollment

A student who is suspended from or denied re-enrollment in Bob Jones University may be
considered for readmission for a term that begins at least one complete semester following the date
of his or her suspension or enrollment denial.
16
In addition to following the procedures for Students Who Previously Attended Bob Jones University,
the student will be asked for additional information by an admission counselor.

TIME REQUIRED FOR PROCESSING OF APPLICATION

Ordinarily, an application can be processed in no less than three weeks, and it is not unusual for an
application to require six weeks or longer for processing. It is necessary to secure the high school
record, character recommendations, college transcripts of any coursework and to coordinate all
these records in Admission before the admittance decision can be made. Following an applicant’s
acceptance, a nonrefundable reservation fee must be paid to confirm the applicant’s reservation (due
fall semester, May 1; spring semester, November 1). Upon enrollment, the reservation fee will be
applied toward the semester’s tuition and fees. No reservation is final until all these records are in
order and the reservation fee is received. Consequently, an applicant should allow as much time as
possible for the processing of the application.

FRESHMAN ADMISSION BY HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

Freshman Standing
An applicant must request that his or her high school forward a copy of his or her official high
school transcript directly to the director of Admission.
Applicants from approved high schools will be admitted to the freshman class upon certification
that the applicant is a high school graduate and recommended for college work, and provided that
the applicant has met all other requirements for admission.

Required Units
Applicants should have achieved high school graduation and have at least 16–18 acceptable units of
secondary school work. (A unit is defined as five 45-minute periods each week for 36 weeks.)
Ten of these units must be in academic subjects. The following distribution of units is
recommended: English (three units), mathematics (two units), natural science (one unit), social
studies or history (two units), and foreign language (two units).
Students who BJU is willing to accept but are deficient in entrance requirements must make up
deficiencies by taking additional credits on the university level. These credits are added to the total
of 120 required for degree conferral. Since one semester of college work is usually construed to be
the equivalent of a year’s high school course, a student deficient one-half unit of academic electives
is required 121 credits for degree conferral; a student deficient one unit, 122 credits for degree
conferral, etc. These additional credits must be taken in the areas of study in which the student is
deficient.

Early Admission Program for High School Students

Early admission for high school students is offered as a means of enriching the education of
outstanding high school students. Students still enrolled in high school are not eligible for Title IV
federal financial aid.
The student will be admitted upon recommendation of his or her high school principal or
homeschool parent. The student should have above average scores and should consistently be doing
A and B work in all high school courses.
There are two ways a high school student may be admitted to Bob Jones University:
1. Resident Courses. A qualified high school student may enroll in resident courses at BJU upon
completion of his or her sophomore year of high school. The courses offered will be regular
 college courses, and those high school students admitted will attend courses with regular college 17

students. For information about enrolling in resident courses, contact Admission at BJU.
2. Online Courses. A high school student may choose from several online courses after the
completion of his or her sophomore year. These courses give the student the quality, structure

ADMISSION
and interaction of an on-campus class with the flexibility to fit the student’s schedule. For more
information, go to www.bjuonline.com or contact Admission at Bob Jones University.

FRESHMAN ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION

Students who Bob Jones University is willing to accept but whose educational backgrounds have
been irregular may be admitted on any of the following bases:

Equivalency Diploma
The High School Equivalency Diploma or Certificate is now issued by the state department of
education of nearly all the states as part of their services in the field of adult education. In many
states this service is available on the same basis to veterans and non-veterans alike, in others on a
differentiated basis, and in still others to veterans only. In all cases, however, it is awarded to persons
of post high school age on the basis of achievement shown by examination rather than achievement
shown by accumulation of high school credits—though in some states examination results must be
supported by a partial high school record. Specific requirements vary from state to state, especially
as to the minimum age at which one is eligible to take these examinations. An inquiry addressed to
any state department of education will reveal current practices for that particular state. Other things
being equal, an equivalency diploma is construed as sufficient for college admission and meets all
the specific entrance requirements.

General Education Development (GED) Tests

The General Education Development test also serves as a basis for admission for the veteran or other
adult applicant when satisfactory scores have been achieved at an approved examination center
prior to the enrollment of the student in BJU. Satisfactory scores achieved on these examinations,
whether or not they have resulted in the issuance of a diploma, are construed as meeting all entrance
requirements. In some circumstances, advanced standing is given on the basis of the college-level
GED tests.

Undergraduate Placement & Academic Restrictions

High School Graduate
The primary consideration is based on the student’s high school “adjusted GPA.” The adjusted GPA
is calculated using the grades from core academic courses only: math, science, history, language arts
(English, speech, etc.) and foreign language.
Limited Load­, maximum 14 credits—A student with an adjusted high school GPA of 1.7–1.9 (C-)
Academic Probation—A student with an adjusted high school GPA of 1.3–1.6 (D+) or previous
poor academic performance at another institution
Associate Placement—A student with an adjusted high school GPA of 1.0–1.2 (D)
In addition, after the primary consideration (adjusted GPA) is determined, other factors are taken
into consideration that may affect a “borderline” student’s status:
• ACT/SAT scores
• Achievement test scores
• Comments from the school official recommendation
These factors may result in a student being placed in a “lower level” restriction.
18
For instance, if a student has a borderline GPA such as 1.7, his or her college entrance examination
composite score for ACT is below 16 or for SAT is below 890, or his or her achievement test
complete battery percentile is 50 percent or below, and there is a comment from a school official
that the student has academic struggles, he or she may be placed on Academic Probation instead of
Limited Load.

Examination Results
A student who is accepted for admission on the basis of satisfactory examination results will be
placed on academic probation. These exam results include the GED, an Equivalency Diploma or
Certificate (adult education), etc. The minimum GED scores are as follows: individual subject
scores–40; composite score–45.
There are occasions when a student submits a GED with scores that barely meet the minimum
allowable scores and his or her high school transcript reflects poor academic achievement (GPA
of 1.6 or below) or he or she has low ACT scores (16 or below) or SAT scores (890 or below). That
student may be placed on Associate Placement initially instead of Academic Probation in order for
the student to prove that he or she can handle university-level academic work.

OTHER ADMISSION CATEGORIES

Admission as a Provisional Student
The Office of Admission will grant a student Provisional Admittance when not all of the
requirements of the student’s application file have been submitted, but it is to the student’s benefit
to grant admittance. Upon submission of the missing requirement(s), the Provisional Admittance
is changed to Full Admittance. A student who is granted a Provisional Admittance has the rights
and privileges of a student with Full Admittance (financial aid, advising, course registration, etc.).
Provisional Admittances are issued infrequently.
In cases where an official high school transcript is the missing requirement, financial aid will only be
disbursed for the initial term of enrollment. If an official transcript is not received by the start of the
subsequent term, then all federal and state aid will be returned from the initial term and the student
will remain ineligible for additional aid until an official transcript is received.

Admission as a Special Student

Bob Jones University accepts a limited number of special students who fall into one of the following
categories: (1) Students who have completed a bachelor’s degree and who wish to take additional
work in some area without working for a degree; (2) Mature students, past normal college age, who
qualify for regular admission and who wish to take only a few courses on a part-time basis but are
not interested in a degree.
A special student is not required to remove entrance deficiencies and may take any course for which
he or she has met the prerequisites. Bob Jones University, however, does not permit any student to
take all his or her courses in one or two fields but recommends even for special students a program
of general education. No student has the academic classification of “special’’ unless the student has
applied and been admitted as a special student or unless, after being admitted as a regular student,
the student has been given permission by the registrar to become a special student. The fact that a
residence hall student may be classified as “special’’ academically does not mean that the student will
be granted special privileges by the dean of men or dean of women.
A special student seeks admission in the same manner as a regular student. Work taken as a special
student may be applied toward a degree program later if the student qualified for admission to a
degree program at the time the work was taken.
 19
Admission as a Part–Time Student
Since 12 semester credits constitute the minimum full-time load at Bob Jones University and since
all residence hall students are full-time students, a part-time student by definition is any student
carrying less than 12 semester credits. All residence hall students are required to carry a minimum

ADMISSION
of 12 credits. Many part-time students are spouses of full-time university students who wish to take
certain special courses; others are residents of the local community who wish to enroll for a partial
load only. By nature of their programs of study, many part-time students are special students—
although some part-time students follow a regular program of study.
To secure a permit to register, a part-time student must follow the regular procedure in filing
application for admission. A student carrying six to 11 semester credits may be eligible to receive
part-time Title IV federal financial aid. In order to receive full federal financial aid, a student must
carry a minimum of 12 credits.

Admission of International Students

One of the unique features of Bob Jones University is that as a private liberal arts university it
attracts its student body each year from virtually all the states plus the District of Columbia, the
outlying possessions of the United States, and more than 40 countries. In addition to those who are
foreigners by citizenship, BJU attracts a number of students who have American citizenship, but
were born and raised in a foreign country.
Bob Jones University is proud of its international students and works diligently to facilitate the
admission of its qualified international applicants. The international student, however, who desires
admission to Bob Jones University will do well to read carefully the following paragraphs.
An international student makes application for admission to Bob Jones University in the same
manner as any other student—with the additional need to meet certain requirements of the student’s
own country plus the requirements of the United States for approval to study in this country. Before
a letter can be sent from Bob Jones University to the student to assist him or her in securing the
necessary credentials to leave the student’s own country to enter the United States for study, the
international student must:
1. Submit the electronic application with the reservation fee for the semester for which the
reservation is requested (must be in U.S. funds). In the event the application should be denied,
the reservation fee will be refunded.
2. Furnish satisfactory evidence as to the student’s character, ability to meet financial obligations
in this country and academic preparation for study in an American university. The student must
also provide proof of proficiency in the English language.
Students for whom English is not their native language must take the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) exam upon making application to Bob Jones University. The exam is offered
only at selected times and places. Information, dates of administration, online registration, etc.,
are available at www.ets.org/toefl. It normally takes four to six weeks for the exam results to be
reported to BJU. The TOEFL code number of our institution is 5065. These test scores are useful
in processing a student’s application for evaluating his or her mastery of the English language.

In establishing academic preparation for study at Bob Jones University, students educated outside
the United States will have their secondary education records evaluated at Bob Jones University.
20
Students with post-secondary study outside of the United States must submit a credential evaluation
report from World Education Services (www.wes.org/application). Those with prior university
work should request a course-by-course evaluation. Bob Jones University must be identified as the
recipient of the completed World Education Services report.
Because of the time involved, every international applicant is expected to submit their application
with all the necessary credentials at least six months to a year in advance of the semester in which he
or she expects to enroll. Canadian students must allow no less than three months for the processing
of their applications.
A letter of tentative acceptance granted to an international student on the basis of satisfactory
preliminary information is subject to final confirmation by the completion of all records pertaining
to the student, including the evaluation of academic credentials, which is final and binding in
all cases. It is understood that the international student, in claiming the reservation, accepts this
provision as part of the student’s contract with Bob Jones University.

Bridge to College English

The Bridge to College English (BCE) exists to prepare international students to succeed in English-
medium courses at Bob Jones University for admission as degree candidates. The BCE includes
non-credit courses in various aspects of English, as well as two college-level courses: Composition
& Grammar (3 credits) and Pathways (3 credits). It supports the following goals of the Division
of English: Students will be able to communicate well and will be able to apply knowledge of
language structure. Students have the advantage of being immersed in English in a warm Christian
atmosphere where Christlike character is nurtured.
The BCE is offered during the fall semester. Near the end of the semester, students will take the Test
of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Students who achieve the necessary TOEFL score will be
admitted in a degree program for the spring semester.

Minimum TOEFL Entry Requirements Internet TOEFL (iBT) Paper TOEFL (PBT)
Undergraduate Level 48 (section scores of 10) 460
Graduate Level: Master’s 62 (section scores of 15) 510
Graduate Level: Doctorate 100 (section scores of 15) 600

The core of the BCE is daily instruction in English as a second language, including all four language
skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The student will be in a small class where he or she
will receive generous amounts of friendly, individual attention. The student will receive help in
listening to lectures and taking notes, as well as other skills needed by students.

Admission of Service Personnel

A limited amount of credit may be allowed for training programs followed in military service,
provided this work is in line with baccalaureate requirements. Any veteran desiring an evaluation
of such work must have his or her official transcript forwarded directly from the proper authorities
to the registrar of Bob Jones University. Credit is allowed on the basis of the recommendation in the
manual, “A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.”

Veterans Readmission
Bob Jones University fully supports and complies with the veteran readmission requirements in the
Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. In general, any student whose departure and absence
from Bob Jones University is necessitated by reason of service in the uniformed services shall be
entitled to readmission to the University (exceptions include individuals receiving dishonorable or
bad conduct discharges or those who are sentenced in a court-martial). In most cases, the student
must apply for readmission within five years of completion of military service. For full details in
regard to notification of Student Life and re-enrollment, see Policy Volume V on the university 21

intranet.

Admission to Advanced Standing

ADMISSION
Transfer students seek admission to Bob Jones University in the same manner as entering freshmen.
It will be helpful, therefore, for every prospective transfer student to read the general requirements
for admission and the requirements for freshman admission. The transfer student is individually
responsible to see that transcripts of all previous high school and college-level work are sent directly
to Bob Jones University from each institution attended. All such transcripts must be requested at the
time the application is submitted to Bob Jones University, since the application cannot be processed
until all records are in order. Transcripts are not accepted from students.
All transfer credits are accepted on a provisional basis, which means that they do not become a
part of the student’s permanent record until the student has successfully completed one semester
of resident study leading toward a degree from Bob Jones University. To validate the credit on
any transcript, a student is expected to earn the same grades or better in residence at Bob Jones
University.
The transfer student should note that the academic year at Bob Jones University is divided into two
semesters and that the unit is the semester credit. Quarter hours are converted into semester credits
at the ratio of 3:2—that is, three quarter hours equal two semester credits. While every effort is
made within the regulations to give the transfer student the full value of his or her previous work, no
fractional credits are recorded and course credits of a fragmentary nature are disallowed.

Validation Examinations
Students desiring advanced standing on the basis of academic work which BJU is unable to accept
without examination may validate such work by examination during their initial semester of
enrollment. All validation examinations must be completed by the end of the first half-semester after
a student enrolls. A fee is charged for each exam to validate credit for acceptance and/or placement.
This procedure also applies to academic work taken in Bible schools which do not have an approved
college department.

Admission as a Postgraduate Special Student

A student holding a bachelor’s degree who wishes to secure additional training but who does not
wish to follow a program of study leading to an advanced degree may enroll as a postgraduate
special student. Such a student may take courses only on the undergraduate level, choosing those
courses based upon his or her objective for taking such special work. To register for a graduate
course, however, the student must meet all prerequisites in the same manner as a student who takes
the course to apply toward a graduate degree program.

Admission as a Graduate Student

For details concerning specific requirements, consult the BJU Seminary and Graduate Studies
Catalog.

TRANSFER CREDIT
Undergraduate Transfer Credit Practices
High School Record
A transfer student’s high school record is evaluated in terms of Bob Jones University’s entrance
requirements. Occasionally a student who was admitted to another institution without deficiency
will be deficient in entrance requirements when transferring. Such deficiencies, if any, will be
indicated on the registration materials given to the transfer student when he or she enrolls.
22
Transfer Credit Regulations
The regulations governing the transfer of credits earned in other institutions are as follows:
1. It is the policy of Bob Jones University to consider for transfer credits earned in a regular
college or university or other institution of collegiate level. The accreditation status of the other
institution(s) will be a factor in transfer credit decisions, but it will not be the sole or primary
factor.
a. Coursework Earned at Non-Regionally or Nationally Accredited Institutions: In cases
where a student submits coursework from an institution that is not regionally accredited
or that is nationally accredited, a course-by-course evaluation is conducted by the registrar
based on recommendations of the faculty in the relevant academic program to ascertain if
the coursework is at the collegiate level and is comparable to courses offered at Bob Jones
University.
b. International Coursework: International students with post-secondary study outside of the
United States must submit a credential evaluation report from World Education Services
(www.wes.org/application). Those with prior university work must request a course-by-course
evaluation and identify Bob Jones University as the recipient of the completed report. See the
BJU Admission of International Students Policy for additional information.
c. Military Institutional Coursework: Coursework from the Air University, the Defense Language
Institute, the United States Naval Academy, the United States Military Academy, the United
States Air Force Academy and the United States Coast Guard Academy will be considered for
transfer if a comparable course is offered at Bob Jones University.
2. Only those credits which carry a grade of at least C or its equivalent at the undergraduate level
or at least B at the graduate level may be transferred (no grade of D, F or P).
3. Credit for courses such as music theory and language is transferable only by placement test
validation. Art and design courses are validated by presenting a portfolio to the art and design
faculty to be evaluated. This validation must be secured at the time of the student’s initial
semester registration in Bob Jones University. Moreover, the student must place in the course at
the next level for the transfer credit to be recognized.
4. Courses acceptable for transfer must be substantially in line with the course of study offered by
Bob Jones University and must serve a useful purpose in the particular curriculum which the
student proposes to follow. To be accepted, a course need not be identical with a course offered
at Bob Jones University; but it must be a course, even as a general elective, which is in line with
the degree requirements defined in the Undergraduate Catalog. For example, a student who
has heretofore pursued for any length of time a curriculum in any field in which courses are
not offered at Bob Jones University may not expect to receive full transfer value for his or her
previous work. A limited number of such credits is transferable as general electives.
5. In transferring credits, all evaluations are made in terms of courses as they appear in the
University’s Undergraduate Catalog. Though the original course titles are retained, the
student’s transfer record will show the course number as it appears in the Bob Jones University
Undergraduate Catalog. Transfer courses for which there exist no parallel courses in this
institution but which are acceptable for transfer will be assigned the proper departmental
classification.
6. Transfer credit may be given by Bob Jones University in any one field of study not to exceed 30
semester credits. For example, a student who has had extensive training in religion elsewhere
may not expect to transfer more than 30 semester credits in religion. If the student expects
to major in the field in which he or she presents the maximum number of transfer credits,
the student must complete a minimum of 12 semester credits in the major field at Bob Jones
University.
7. Transfer students may fall into any classification from freshman to senior, though rarely is a 23

student able to transfer and complete degree requirements in one year.

8. Though certain adjustments may be made to the program of study for a student who transfers to
this institution late in the college program, it should be noted that the “in residence” regulation

ADMISSION
requires a candidate for a baccalaureate degree to complete a minimum of 30 semester credits
in at least two semesters in residence at Bob Jones University. Candidates for an associate degree
must complete a minimum of 15 semester credits in at least one semester in residence at Bob
Jones University. This stipulation means that in the minimum of two semesters the student must
carry a full load of work and must meet the minimum academic standards required by Bob
Jones University for degree conferral.
9. Bob Jones University does not accept in transfer any college-level work taken prior to the
completion of the sophomore year of high school. College-level work completed after the
sophomore year of high school will be evaluated on an individual basis.
10. A unit of credit at Bob Jones University is a semester hour. Quarter hours are transposed into
semester hours at the ratio of 3:2; that is, three quarter hours equals two semester hours. No
fractional credits are recorded, and course credits of a fragmentary nature are disallowed.
11. AP, CLEP and IB Credit: BJU does recognize Advance Placement (AP), College-Level
Examination Program (CLEP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) credits subject to the
following limitations. To be recognized, credits must have been earned prior to enrollment at
Bob Jones University and after the sophomore year of high school. Credit for AP is based solely
upon AP tests and not on AP courses. AP test scores must be 4 or above for recognition. General
CLEP scores are not recognized. Subject area CLEP credits are acceptable so long as the scores
are 50 or above. IB credit is based solely upon the Higher Level Examination results. IB test
scores must be 5 or above for recognition.
A total of six English credits may be earned by IB, excluding AP and CLEP programs. The
total credit earned through AP, CLEP and IB programs is limited to 30 semester credits, which
includes any credit in transfer presented from approved distance or online learning institutions.
There is no charge for recognition of AP, CLEP and IB credits. Prospective students desiring
information concerning the AP and CLEP programs should contact The College Board, P.O. Box
977, Princeton, NJ 08540.
12. All work taken at other institutions for transfer into a degree program at Bob Jones University
once the student has been accepted into a program must be approved by the registrar in
advance. In such circumstances, the amount of credit to be taken elsewhere will be limited.
Moreover, the student is expected to complete his or her final semester of coursework in
residence at Bob Jones University.
13. Military Training and Experience: Academic credit for military service or training will be
considered in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the manual, “A Guide to the
Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.” See Policy Volume V on the
university intranet for additional information.
14. Credit Appeals Process: Upon completion of the credit review processes, students will be
notified of the decision by the Registrar’s Office. A student wishing to challenge course credits
deemed ineligible for credit must file a written appeal with the registrar, who will bring the
matter to the attention of the Deans Council. Within 10 business days of receipt of the appeal,
the chair of the Deans Council will notify the student of the Deans Council’s decision.
15. Transfer work is calculated into a student’s cumulative undergraduate grade point average (GPA)
at the time the degree is conferred. For associate degree students, transfer work is not calculated
into the final GPA. The student is required to earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher in courses
taken at Bob Jones University in order to earn an associate or bachelor’s degree from BJU.
24
16. Current students will not receive approval to take any core course at another institution if that
course is offered online through Bob Jones University. See Policy Volume V on the university
intranet for additional information.

Undergraduate Transfer Credit from Bible Schools

In addition to the regulations just enumerated, the following regulations clarify the basis of transfer
for work completed in a standard Bible college:
1. Credits earned in the field of religion in a standard Bible school of college level are considered
for transfer purposes on the same basis as credits earned in other fields in a regular college
or university.
2. Credits earned in a Bible school of approved collegiate standing are accepted on the same basis
as credits earned in any other institution of college level.
3. Credits in the academic fields earned in a Bible school which does not have a recognized
college department may be transferred only by validation. This validation may be secured
by examination, as in English, or by the completion of the next course in sequence with a
minimum grade of C, as in Greek. The procedure used is that recommended by the department.
All validation examinations must be completed within the first half-semester of a student’s
registration in BJU. A fee is charged for each validation examination.
4. Evaluation of credits completed in Bible schools is made according to the regulations governing
all transfer work, including the quality of work required, the maximum number of credits which
may be transferred, etc.
5. Because of the wide variety of religion courses offered in Bible schools and because of the
variations existing in course titles and course contents from school to school, Bob Jones
University allows all transfer credits in religion on an equivalence basis in terms of courses and
credits listed in the Undergraduate Catalog under the School of Religion. This assignment of
credits is made on the basis of the contents of the courses pursued elsewhere as compared with
parallel courses offered in this institution.
6. Upon completion of the credit review processes, students will be notified of the decision by the
Registrar’s Office. A student wishing to challenge course credits deemed ineligible for credit
must file a written appeal with the registrar, who will bring the matter to the attention of the
Deans Council. Within 10 business days of receipt of the appeal, the chair of the Deans Council
will notify the student of the Deans Council’s decision.

Transfer Work Procedures

Approved Work: Accepted courses are recorded with a Bob Jones University catalog number and the
title of the course transferred from the other institution. Approved transfer work is available on one’s
degree progress audit in the Student Portal. Any apparent contradiction, omission or error should
immediately be brought to the attention of the credentials analyst in the Registrar’s Office.
Validation Approval: Courses subject to validation by placement test, portfolio or division approval.
Validation ensures the level of instruction for continued study in the subject area.
1. If continuing in a subject area at Bob Jones University, all validations must be secured at the
time of the student’s initial semester registration at Bob Jones University.
2. If not continuing in a subject area, validation is not necessary and the courses may be approved
as elective credit. By the end of the student’s initial semester of enrollment at Bob Jones
University, the student must notify the Registrar’s Office of his or her intent to discontinue study
in that area at Bob Jones University.
 25
Conditionally Approved: Courses currently in progress at another institution and conditionally approved
based upon final grades with receipt of an official transcript. Only grades of A, B or C will transfer.
Pending Approval: Courses where additional information is needed (e.g., course description,
syllabus, etc.) before a decision can be made.

ADMISSION
Transfer work is not calculated into an undergraduate student’s grade point average (GPA) until the
degree has been conferred. Transfer work of an associate degree student or a graduate student is not
calculated into his or her GPA.

Transfer Work Waiver

Students may waive receiving transfer credit for courses from a previously attended institution by
completing a Transfer Work Waiver. Any coursework waived can never be counted toward any
undergraduate degree at Bob Jones University. The student may have to retake the courses at Bob
Jones University to fulfill degree requirements. The Transfer Work Waivers should be completed at
the Registrar’s Office by the end of the student’s initial semester of enrollment.

Transfer Work Validation Waiver

Students who do not pass or do not pursue validation for transfer work (e.g., art, music theory,
world languages, etc.) and who will not be continuing in the subject area, including as a major or
minor, may have such courses count as general electives. By the end of the student’s initial semester
of enrollment at Bob Jones University, the student must complete a Transfer Work Validation Waiver
at the Registrar’s Office to have transfer work count toward elective credit. If the student decides to
continue in the subject area, all prerequisites must be met. If later the student changes to a major or
minor in the subject area, a Transfer Work Waiver form must be completed at the Registrar’s Office.
The transfer work will then be removed from the student record.

HOUSING AT BJU
All single students under 23 years of age, except those residing with their parents or close relatives
in the local community, are expected to live in the university residence halls. Students must supply
their own textbooks and school supplies, as well as their own twin bed mattress cover and linens,
blankets, pillows and towels. The University suggests that students wait until they arrive before
purchasing room furnishings such as small refrigerators.
Two housing options are available according to classification. Freshmen live on freshman floors in
order to maximize their first-year experience in a community of freshmen and upperclassman peer
leaders where freshmen are challenged to grow personally, academically, socially, and spiritually.
There are freshman floors in men’s and women’s residence halls. In addition, seniors can select to
live in seniors rooms with one other senior and have fewer everyday living requirements. These
rooms are sprinkled throughout the regular halls.
BJU, through Human Resources, lends assistance to married couples in locating housing in the area.
Note: BJU is not legally liable for injuries or damages to property, or for failure or interruption of
utilities, or for interruption of services due to weather or acts of nature occurring in the residence
halls. Students are strongly encouraged to provide their own personal insurance.

STUDENT IMMUNIZATIONS
All reservations for residence programs are contingent upon the applicant’s submitting the BJU
Student Immunization form. First-time students who do not complete this requirement prior to
matriculation must obtain the required immunizations at area medical providers in the first few
weeks after their arrival on campus.

charged once the student completes the appropriate pretest(s). Students interested in the optional
math modules should visit the Academic Resource Center for more information.

Applied Music Lessons (non-music majors or minors)

The Division of Music is pleased to offer all University students, regardless of major, the opportunity
to take applied music lessons for academic credit, subject to audition and faculty availability. Studio
fees cover the additional cost of specialized instruction from our artist-teacher faculty, instrument
and equipment maintenance and repair, and access to practice facilities.

and orchestral instruments in 12 weekly lessons and earn one (1) academic credit per semester.
 29
• Group applied music lessons: Students developing beginning- to intermediate-level skills may
receive group instruction in piano, voice, violin or cello and earn one (1) academic credit per
semester.

Students may audition for applied music lessons during Summer Orientation and during any
University pre-registration/registration period.
The private applied lesson studio fee applies to any non-music major or non-music minor enrolled
in a private lesson.
The group applied lesson studio fee applies to any non-music major enrolled in a group class (e.g.,
PI 101, HRP 101, VO 101, etc.). Music minors must audition into private applied lessons, so the group

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
studio fee policy does not apply to them.
Music majors pay a program fee that includes studio fees for private lessons and group classes; they

the cost of the diploma, the rental of academic regalia and administrative costs, and is payable in full
whether the candidate receives the degree in person or in absentia. Diplomas for May graduation
are ordered from the engraver in February, and August diplomas are ordered in June. If graduation
plans are canceled or changed after the diploma has been ordered, the student is charged for the
unused diploma.

Vehicle Registration
A student who brings an automobile or motorcycle to campus must register the vehicle with the
Office of Public Safety. A vehicle registration fee will be charged per semester for all residence hall
and day student vehicles. Day students who have more than one vehicle to register may register the
additional vehicle, provided only one of the vehicles will be parked on campus at any given time. A
separate, smaller fee will be charged for each additional vehicle.

Vintage (Yearbook) Fee

Full time students pay a yearbook fee (required) of $25 in both the fall and spring semesters. A
student attending only one semester of an academic year, may purchase a yearbook by paying the
second semester fee of $25.

Students earn federal financial aid by attending classes, and federal regulations state that students
who withdraw during a term may keep only the Title IV financial aid funds they have earned up to
the date of withdrawal.
If a student withdraws prior to completing 60 percent of the period or term, the Office of Financial
Services will calculate the earned portion of federal financial aid by determining the percentage of
the payment period or term that has been completed. The date of withdrawal used to calculate the
return of Title IV aid is based on the last date of the student’s attendance in class. The funds to be
returned will be calculated by the Office of Financial Aid based on a formula provided by the U.S.
Department of Education.
If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution is required to return a portion of the
funds and the student may be required to return a portion of the funds as well. Once the Title IV
funds are returned, the student may have a balance due on his or her account.
If a student received a disbursement of federal aid for educational expenses over and above the
charges for tuition, program fee, and room and board (when applicable), the student may be
required to repay a portion of those funds to the federal aid programs. Failure to return federal aid
money may result in loss of eligibility for federal aid in the future.
If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him, the institution would owe the student a
post-withdrawal disbursement which must be paid within 180 days of the student’s withdrawal.
32 Title IV funds will be returned to the U.S. Department of Education in the following order:
1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
2. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
3. Federal Parent (PLUS) Loan
4. Federal Pell Grant
5. Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant
6. Other Title IV assistance
7. Other state aid
8. Private and institutional aid
9. The student
Note: Students who never began attendance in any classes at Bob Jones University are not eligible
for Title IV funds. If a disbursement was made prior to determining that the student never began
attendance, funds must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education. Any funds disbursed to a
student must be returned to the Department of Education by the student.

RETURN OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TUITION ASSISTANCE FUNDS

POLICY
If a student withdraws prior to completing 60 percent of the period of the term, the Office of
Financial Aid will calculate the earned portion of Tuition Assistance Funds by determining the
percentage of the payment period or term that has been completed. The date of withdrawal used to
calculate the return of Tuition Assistance Funds is based on the last date of the student’s attendance
in class. The funds to be returned will be calculated by the Office of Financial Aid using the below
formula.

16-week Course withdraw timeline:

Before or during weeks 1–2 100% return
During weeks 3–4 75% return
During weeks 5–8 50% return
During weeks 9–10 40% return (60% of course is completed)
During weeks 11–16 0% return

8-week withdraw timeline:

Before or during weeks 1 100% return
During weeks 2 75% return
During weeks 3-4 50% return
During weeks 5 40% return (60% of course is completed)
During weeks 6-8 0% return
Unearned Tuition Assistance funds will be returned to the government within 30 days of a
student’s withdrawal. In instances when a Service member stops attending due to a military service
obligation, the Office of Financial Aid will work with the affected Service member to identify
solutions that will not result in student debt for the returned portion.

Application
FOR FINANCIAL AID

STEP 1: APPLY TO BJU

In order to qualify for financial aid, the recipient must be admitted as a student. A student may
begin this process as early as the fall of the junior year of high school or the summer before the
senior year.

STEP 2: BEGIN TO SEARCH FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

Many non-government and non-BJU scholarships and grants have application deadlines between
January and May.

FINANCIAL AID
STEP 3: COMPLETE THE FAFSA
(FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID)
The FAFSA will open October 1 each year for the next academic year at www.fafsa.gov. The Bob
Jones University institution code is 003421. The FAFSA application process will identify the
student’s EFC (Expected Family Contribution)—the amount of money the federal government
calculates a family should be able to contribute to the student’s college expenses. The EFC is used
not only to determine federal aid, but also to establish eligibility for BJU financial aid.

STEP 4: COMPLETE ANY REQUIRED PAPERWORK

The BJU Financial Aid office may request additional paperwork if needed. Any necessary
documents must be submitted for review before July 1 to ensure that any available aid will appear on
the first statement of the year as expected aid.

STEP 5: RECEIVE AN AID OFFER

Once the financial aid process has been completed, the Office of Financial Aid will send an aid offier.
This offer will list all federal, state and BJU-related aid the student is eligible to receive.
In order to take advantage of all possible financial aid opportunities, the student should complete
the FAFSA and all nongovernment and non-BJU scholarship, grant and loan applications by March
1 of each year.

FEDERAL LOANS
Federal Direct Student Loan Programs
Undergraduate students enrolled at least half time (6 credits) may be eligible for both the Federal
Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans. Graduate students are only eligible for the Federal
Direct Unsubsidized loans. The Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans are fixed interest rate
loans. Limits on how much students can borrow per loan are established based on financial need,
dependency status and academic classification.
• Subsidized—a need-based loan only awarded to those eligible students who show financial need
on the FAFSA. No interest accrues on this loan as long as a student is enrolled at least half time.
• Unsubsidized—available to any eligible student who is enrolled at least half time whose financial
aid does not meet the maximum Cost of Attendance. Interest begins accruing immediately.
• Borrowers may receive Direct Subsidized Loans for no more than 150% of the length of the
student’s current academic program (e.g., six years for a four-year program).
• If a student reaches the 150% time limit and continues to enroll, he or she will lose the interest
subsidy on the subsidized loans borrowed in the past.
• Student who have reached the 150% limit will remain eligible for Direct Unsubsidized Loans.
• Federal Direct Student Loans are requested through BJU’s Office of Financial Aid. To receive the
loans, the student must also complete the Entrance Counseling, and the Master Promissory Note
(MPN) at www.studentaid.gov.
Parent PLUS Loan
The Parent PLUS loan is available to parents of a dependent, undergraduate student to help fund
his or her college education. Eligibility is based on credit history, not financial need, and parents
may borrow up to the maximum cost of attendance (COA). Application for this loan can be made at
www.studentaid.gov.
 37
PRIVATE LOANS
The private student loan market includes a multitude of lenders. While BJU does not recommend,
promote or endorse one lender above another, it does provide a comparison tool from ELMSelect
(www.ELMSelect.com) of a variety of lenders in order to aid its students in their initial search
process.
The lenders used are neither exhaustive of all private lenders available nor a limitation of a student’s
choice of lending institution; it serves only as a reference point. A student may also want to pursue
private loans offered through his/her home state and/or personal financial institution. BJU will work
to certify any student’s choice of lender.

OTHER TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID

A few other types of aid are also available to families with college-bound students:
• 529 college savings plan*
A tax-deferred long term savings account established by a parent to pay for a child’s education
*Bob Jones University does not participate in the prepaid tuition 529 state plans.
• Tax credits**
• American Opportunity Tax Credit: Provides up to $2,500 in tax credits on the first $4000 of
qualifying educational expenses for those who are eligible.
• Lifetime Learning Tax Credit: Provides a tax credit of 20 percent of qualifying tuition expenses
for those who are eligible.
• Student Loan Interest Deduction: Interest on qualified student loans may be deductible

FINANCIAL AID
**For more information about tax credits for postsecondary students, please see a qualified tax professional.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY FOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID AND MILITARY
BENEFITS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Federal and state regulations require that all students who receive financial aid must maintain
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) while working toward an eligible degree. Bob Jones
University’s SAP standards are as strict as or stricter than the academic performance standards of
the University and are measured in three areas: completion rate, cumulative grade point average
(GPA), and maximum time frame (Pace). The Standards of SAP apply to federal, state, institutional
aid and all military benefits including tuition assistance and veteran benefits. Progress is measured
at the end of each payment period (fall, spring or summer) that a student is taking classes.
Students must meet all of the following requirements in order to receive financial aid:

Completion Rate (applies to all students)

Completion rate is measured by dividing the number of attempted credits into the number of earned
credits. A student MUST earn 67 percent of credits attempted to maintain SAP. Completion rate is
rounded to the nearest percentage point.
The following are considered when evaluating a student’s completion rate:
1. All courses in which a student remains enrolled past the Drop/Add period.
2. All transfer credits accepted by Bob Jones University toward the current degree (transfer credits
come from two sources: other institutions and/or when a student changes from a bachelor’s
degree to an associate degree).
3. Withdrawals (W, WF), incompletes and failures (grade F), and courses where academic
forgiveness has been recevied are considered attempted but not earned credits.
38
4. For pass/fail courses:
a. Pass is considered attempted and earned credits.
b. Fail is considered attempted but not earned.
5. Repeated courses are included in the completion rate as follows:
a. A previously passed course may be repeated only once in order to improve the grade.
b. A failed course may be repeated as often as necessary in order to pass.
c. A course is considered passed even if the grade is not considered acceptable for a specific
program, (e.g., receiving a D in a major course).
6. Remedial courses are included in the calculation of both attempted and earned credits.
7. Audited courses do not count toward the completion rate.
8. All coursework for students enrolled in a double major/dual degree program. NOTE: If all
degree requirements are met for the first major/degree program prior to graduation, a student
becomes ineligible for federal grant aid for any additional semester(s) where the student enrolls
in coursework for the second major/degree.

Cumulative GPA
Students are required to earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher from courses taken at Bob Jones
University in order to earn an associate or bachelor’s degree from BJU. The GPA calculation includes
all courses taken through BJU, campus or online, and any approved transfer courses including
any BJU coursework that has received academic forgiveness. Withdrawals (W and WF) are not
included in the GPA calculation. In order to retain financial aid eligibility, a student must maintain a
cumulative GPA as listed in the graduated scale below:
• 1.6 for 24 or fewer credits attempted
• 1.75 for 25–48 credits attempted
• 1.85 for 49–72 credits attempted
• 1.9 for 73–96 credits attempted
• 2.0 for 97 credits attempted
Maximum Time Frame for all majors
Students must complete their degree within a maximum time frame. This maximum time frame
is met when the attempted credits equal 150 percent of the credits required for a degree program.
For example, a student whose degree program requires 120 credits for graduation will be eligible
for financial aid during the first 180 attempted credits as an undergraduate. All attempted credits
are counted, including transfer credits accepted toward the degree, whether or not financial aid was
received or the course work was successfully completed.
Students who are working on a double major/dual degree program are allowed up to 150 percent of
the total number of credits required for both major/degree programs. If a student has completed all
of his or her requirements for one major/degree, then he or she ceases to be eligible for federal grant
aid for the completion of the second major and/or degree.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Status

Academic progress will be reviewed at the end of each payment period: fall, spring and summer.
Students not meeting the SAP standards will be notified of their status for the subsequent payment
period.
 39
FINANCIAL AID WARNING
1. A student is placed on Financial Aid Warning for the payment period following the payment
period in which heor she did not meet the SAP standards.
2. A student is eligible to receive financial aid funds during this payment period, but must meet the
SAP standards by the end of the payment period.
3. At the end of the Warning period, if the student has not met the SAP standards, he or she will be
notified that he or she is ineligible to receive financial aid for the next payment period.
4. A student may be placed on Financial Aid Warning more than once during his or her college
enrollment but may not be placed on Warning for two consecutive pay periods.

Financial Aid Ineligible

A student will be considered ineligible IF
• At the end of the Warning period the student does not meet the SAP standards and does not
appeal the ineligible status.
• The appeal for probation is denied.
Financial Aid Probation
A student is placed on Financial Aid Probation and will be eligible to receive financial aid for the
next payment period IF
1. The student appeals the determination that he or she is ineligible and the appeal is approved (see
Appeal Process).

FINANCIAL AID
AND
2. It is determined that he or she should be able to meet the SAP standards by the end of the
probation period.
OR
3. An Academic Plan is agreed upon that establishes a specific point in time when the SAP
standards will be met (see Academic Plans).

Appeal Process
The student may appeal to the SAP Committee no later than the end of the Drop/Add Period.
1. Student must submit to the Office of Financial Aid:
a. The Appeal form including:
i. Reason for an appeal which may include, but is not limited to the following: health, family,
catastrophe or other special circumstances as determined by the institution.
ii. An explanation of what has changed that will ensure future academic success.
b. Documentation as required by the institution to support the reason for the appeal.
2. The Appeal will be reviewed by the SAP Committee.
a. A determination will be made to approve or deny the appeal.
b. A determination will be made if an Academic Plan is required.
3. If the appeal is approved, the student will be notified that he or she will be on probation for
the next payment period and must meet the SAP standards by the end of that period, or an
academic plan must be signed by his or her advisor or an Academic Resource Center coach and
submitted to the Office of Financial Aid.
CAUTION: If the appeal has not been approved prior to registration, the student is responsible to pay
the amount required to begin classes.
40
Academic Plans
If it is determined that a student cannot meet the SAP standards in one payment period, the student
may submit an academic plan which establishes the required number of credits and required GPA
for each payment period during which the student will continue to work toward the goal. The
Academic Plan must be approved by the student’s advisor or a staff member from the Academic
Resource Center. This staff member must be familiar with the student’s abilities and determine that
the goal can be met in the time allowed.

Reinstatement
A student’s eligible status will be reinstated once he or she has met SAP standards OR the individual
has successfully appealed an ineligible standing. An undergraduate student in a bachelor’s program
may change to an associate degree which will reset their financial aid status to eligible. The student
must meet SAP requirements at the next evaluation period. If SAP requirements are not met, the
student will then be placed on Financial Aid Warning.

Student Work Program

Through BJU’s Student Work Program, students earn money working on campus during the
academic year. Qualifying students work 5 to 20 hours a week (depending on jobs available).
Earnings are paid biweekly and are applied to a student’s tuition account or paid in cash.
Campus job opportunities are available in many departments. Students in the program work
for managers who are concerned for the students’ academic well-being and are flexible in
accommodating class schedules. The University cannot guarantee work for all students and cannot
guarantee that each student will earn the approved amount each week.
An application for a job may be made through www.bju.edu.
The Student Work Program gives priority to undergraduate students living in the residence
hall. International students are limited to a maximum of 19 hours per week, inclusive of all jobs
combined during the entire academic year (including holidays and breaks).
A limited number of work students may also qualify for the Federal Work-Study Program, which is
a federally funded aid program available to eligible students. For additional information regarding
Federal Work Study, email, finaid@bju.edu.

BJU regardless of the number of Bible courses transferred.
3
All bachelor students with math ACT score 17 or below or math SAT score 510 or below must register for MA 080 Liberal Arts Math Modules until they are
successfully completed.
4
UNI101 is waived for transfer students enrolled at least one semester full time at another college after high school.

Baccalaureate Mathematics Proficiency

Because BJU is a liberal arts institution, a minimum proficiency in mathematics is expected on
the baccalaureate level to enable students to reason quantitatively, solve problems analytically and
apply critical thinking skills in the various disciplines throughout the BJU Core and in their degree
programs, as well as in their future careers.
To aid toward this proficiency, math modules are available for students whose computational
skills need to be further developed or refreshed to be successful and competitive in their chosen
program. These modules are self-paced under the supervision of an instructor. Once registered
for the modules, students will take proficiency pretests, administered by the math department, to
determine actual module placement. Students are expected to complete the modules prior to their
third semester of enrollment.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
There are two branches of math modules, targeting students with different needs:
• Liberal Arts Math Modules (MA 080) are designed to prepare students for quantitative and
logical problems. Students with math ACT score 17 or below or math SAT score 510 or below
will be required to register for the Liberal Arts Math Modules their first year. Students who do
not successfully complete the modules in one semester must register for the modules until they
are successfully completed. These modules are also prerequisites for other courses.
• Math Preparatory Modules (MA 090) are designed to prepare students whose program requires
advanced math or science courses and who could benefit from a review of the foundational
math skills necessary for success in these courses. Students in programs that require a math
course and who have math ACT score 19 or below or math SAT score 530 or below must pass
both the Liberal Arts Math and Math Preparatory Modules prior to registering for the required
math course (recommended completion during their initial semester to stay on track with the
program requirements).
All math modules are zero credit and available for a fee during the term completed.
44
Semester Credits & Grade Point Average
Associate Degree: At least 60 credits and a 2.0 cumulative grade point average must be earned for the
associate degree. Students will declare a major in one of the academic schools offering an associate
degree.
Baccalaureate Degree: At least 120 credits and a 2.0 cumulative grade point average must be
earned for the baccalaureate degree. Students will declare a major of at least 36 credits in one of the
academic schools and may declare a minor of at least 18 credits. A grade of C or better is required
for major, minor and concentration courses.

General Residency & Enrollment Requirements

At least one year in residence is required at BJU (in either an associate or a baccalaureate program),
including the last semester for those who lack more than 11 credits in a baccalaureate degree
program or for those who lack more than six credits in an associate degree program. Approval must
be secured in advance from the registrar for final work to be transferred from another recognized
college in fulfillment of one’s degree requirements. If a baccalaureate student is in residence only
one year, a full load of work must be carried and a GPA of 2.0 must be earned. For a baccalaureate
student who is in residence only two semesters, the year’s work will be construed as a minimum
of 30 semester credits. If an associate student is in residence only one semester, a full load of work
must be carried and a GPA of 2.0 must be earned. For an associate student who is in residence
only one semester, a semester’s work will be construed as a minimum of 15 semester credits. For
residency purposes, as well as for all other academic uses, the summer session is construed as a part
of the regular academic year; i.e., one summer of full-time study is considered to be equivalent to
one semester of resident study. If all requirements toward a baccalaureate degree are not completed
within six years after entrance or if all work toward an associate degree is not completed within
four years after entrance, the students may be required to take additional courses. Any student who
leaves BJU before completing all requirements for degree conferral is responsible to meet the catalog
requirements which are in effect at the time of the student’s re-enrollment.
A candidate for a baccalaureate degree must complete a minimum of 30 semester credits in at least
two semesters in residence at BJU. A candidate for an associate degree must complete a minimum of
15 credits in at least one semester in semester in residence at BJU.
A candidate for a baccalaureate degree completion program must complete a minimum of 30 semester
credits either online or in residence through BJU. A candidate for an associate degree completion
program must complete a minimum of 15 credits either online or in residence through BJU.
A candidates for a certificate program must complete all deficiencies and degree requirements within
four years.

Graduate Approval for Seniors

Seniors in their last two semesters of enrollment who will be completing their bachelor’s degree
requirements and have a 2.5 cumulative GPA may register for one graduate course for graduate credit
each semester.
Seniors who will be pursuing a graduate program at BJU the next semester following the completion
of their degree requirements must receive graduate approval from the Deans Council.
Note: Students desiring to enter a graduate program at BJU the next semester need to have all
undergraduate degree course requirements completed by the Wednesday prior to the beginning of
classes for the next semester.

must be completed. Two degrees are conferred on the same person in the same academic year. The
Liberal Arts, AA program is excluded from associate/baccalaureate degree combination.
Note: Students desiring to enter a graduate program at BJU the next semester must have all
undergraduate degree course requirements completed by the Wednesday prior to the beginning of
classes for the next semester.
46
Certificates
A Certificate is a unit of curriculum that enables a student to develop specific skills that have
proven value to employers. The unit of curriculum may draw upon courses in a major, a minor or
the BJU Core and/or include additional courses. Additional certificate requirements may include
experiential learning activities, capstone course(s) and/or minimum course grade. Awarded
certificates will be noted on the student’s transcript. Certificates may be earned while completing
bachelor’s degree requirements. The courses taken for a certificate do not constitute a minor or
degree program or lead to any licensure.

REGISTRATION & ENROLLMENT POLICIES

Getting Started
Academic Year
The BJU academic year is divided into two semesters plus a summer session. The semester hour is
the unit of credit.
The most current version of the academic calendar may be found on the BJU website as well as in
the current catalogs.

Summer Session
BJU offers undergraduate and graduate courses during the summer as well as via online learning. A
student is able to earn a maximum of 18 credits over the summer. Appointed members of the faculty
will serve during the summer session. The schedule of courses with complete information for the
summer session is available online.
Prospective students interested in attending the summer session should apply through www.bju.edu.

Initial Check-in
Upon arrival at the start of Welcome Week, all students must check in. At check-in students claim
their reservation for enrollment and receive materials as a student at BJU (e.g., ID card).

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Students continuing residence enrollment from the fall to the spring semester do not receive a
certificate but must check in to claim their reservation during posted check-in hours.

Preparing to Register
Course Offerings & Descriptions
The curricula of the catalogs and the suggested class schedules are made up primarily with the
degree student in mind. Although the schedules of courses presented in the catalogs are meant to be
as nearly as possible an accurate account of the courses to be offered, BJU reserves the right to make
any necessary changes at any time in the courses to be offered, amount of credit to be given or any
other details.
Indicated after the description of each course in the respective catalogs is the semester in which it is
normally offered and the amount of semester credit hours that it carries.
Credit is given in semester hours, each semester hour representing one hour of classroom or direct
faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week for the
standard 16-week semester or a minimum of 32 hours of laboratory work with one hour of outside
preparation work conducted by the student. Therefore, a class which meets for class work three
hours a week for a semester will ordinarily give three semester hours of credit. A class which meets
for classwork three hours a week and for laboratory work a minimum of two hours a week will give
four semester hours of credit.
48
For online learning courses, credit is similarly given in semester hours, each semester hour representing
three hours of a combination of instruction, discussion, group work and individual student work.

Numbering of Courses
Courses numbered from 100 to 199 are primarily for freshmen.
Courses numbered from 200 to 299 are primarily for sophomores.
Courses numbered from 300 to 399 are primarily for juniors.
Courses numbered from 400 to 499 are primarily for seniors.
Courses numbered from 500 to 599 are advanced courses primarily for juniors, seniors and graduate
students. Whether undergraduate or graduate credit is awarded will be determined by the student’s
classification or the student’s intent at the time he or she registers for the course. Students taking
500-level courses for graduate credit will demonstrate an advanced level of rigor in their outcomes,
reading of the literature in the field, and research projects.
Courses numbered from 600 to 799 are primarily for graduate students pursuing master’s degrees.
Courses numbered from 800 to 999 are primarily for advanced graduate and doctoral students.

Student Loads & Course Repeats

A normal full-time undergraduate student load is 15 credits a semester; the maximum load is 20
credits (including online learning work). The minimum full-time load for students is 12 credits. Any
student who is permitted to enroll for additional credits above 18 will be charged for the additional
credits at one-half the per semester hour rate. The basis on which overload permission is granted
is the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) earned in work completed through the University.
For a load greater than 15 credits, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above. BJU
recommends that a student with a cumulative GPA less than 3.0 not take more than 18 credits.
All loads are controlled strictly by the student’s academic average. By restricting a student’s load
according to the foregoing regulations, BJU aims to enable the student to improve the quality of his
or her work rather than to accumulate credits above the 120 required for degree conferral.
No student may register for or receive credit in transfer for more than 18 credits in one semester.
The maximum amount of credit which a student may receive for work completed during the
summer at BJU and/or elsewhere is 18 semester credits.
No course which has been completed with a grade of C or above at BJU may be repeated except
as an audit. Permission to audit requires the approval of the registrar or the dean of the school
involved. Any course repeated without this permission will be considered an audit, for which no
grade will be given—although the course will count on the student’s load.
The original course grade, as well as grades for repeat courses, is included on the student’s transcript,
and all course grades will be included in the student’s cumulative GPA.

Internship Credit
Students may obtain academic credit by participating in an internship program as provided by
applicable academic divisions. By providing opportunities for internships on and off campus, BJU
encourages students to broaden their learning experience and to explore career options in business,
government, the arts and private agencies. All experiences are related to an academic area, and a faculty
sponsor must approve the internship proposal in accordance with the procedures outlined below.
General Eligibility: To be considered for participation, a student must normally have completed 60
academic credits (including a minimum of 15 credits taken at BJU) and have a GPA of 2.3 or above.
Interested students must submit an application and resume by appropriate deadlines.
Credit Approval: Internships earn variable academic credit; credit is awarded in accordance with the
BJU Course Credit Hour Approval and Review Policy.
 49
Evaluation and Grading: The supervising faculty member is responsible for the evaluation of the
intern and the internship experience. All internships receive a letter grade in accordance with the
BJU grading policy.
For additional information regarding the approval of internship sites, academic credit for
internships and student compensation, see Policy Volume V on the university intranet.

Criminal & Drug Screen Notice

Bob Jones University is committed to ensuring that students have the ability to benefit from the
education received at BJU. Students and applicants should therefore be aware that certain affiliates
associated with BJU might require that students placed in their facility for internships, clinical or
educational experiences clear a criminal background check and/or drug screening prior to placement.
A student whose background check is unsatisfactory may be prevented access to the internship or
to the educational or clinical site; and as a result, the student may not have sufficient experience to
successfully complete his or her program. Similarly, students whose drug screening reveals evidence
of illegal drug use may be prevented access to the internship or to the educational or clinical site; and
as a result, the student may not have sufficient experience to successfully complete his or her program.
Additionally, state licensing boards may deny the individual the opportunity to sit for an examination
if an applicant has a criminal history or a positive drug screen. BJU and its staff and faculty are not
responsible for finding internship, educational or clinical placements for students who are rejected
from potential opportunities because of criminal histories or drug use.

Coursework Taken Elsewhere

Any currently enrolled student in good standing who plans to take work elsewhere during the
summer with the intention of counting the work toward degree requirements in Bob Jones
University must have the permission of the registrar before enrolling in such courses. Due to
academic department requirements, the transfer of major courses may have a defined limit of
transferrable courses. When this work is completed, the student should request a transcript to be
mailed immediately to BJU. Students who fail to observe the regulations of BJU concerning work
completed elsewhere may forfeit credit for the work. No grades of D, P or CR are accepted in
summer transfer credit. A grade of B or better must be earned in any graduate class transferred.
Once enrolled at BJU, Bible courses and specific core courses must be completed through BJU.
Students will not receive approval to take the following courses at another institution: Bible,
Philosophy, Abnormal Psychology or the following specific core courses: EN 101, EN102, EN 103,

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
HI 101, SC 200, SSE 200, FA 125, COM 101 and PH 200.
A student may not be enrolled for any courses at any other institution while enrolled in classes at
Bob Jones University, with the exception of approved online learning work.

Online Education Limits

Undergraduate students must complete at least one full year in residency at Bob Jones University
(see Policy Volume V on the university intranet for additional information). Unless taken through
BJU, courses offered by online learning must be approved by the registrar before they are taken. Any
work of this nature taken during the time that the student is in residence must be counted as part of
the student’s load for that semester. Online learning work does not fulfill residency requirements.

Registering for Class

Registration & Advisory System
One to two days are set aside at the beginning of each semester for registration. During this time
each student is supplied with complete information regarding the class schedule and his or her
own previous academic record. Each student is assigned to an advisor who assists him or her
in making out a program of study. During the academic year a student may consult his or her
50 advisor, dean, division chair, program coordinator, transition advisor or the Registrar’s Office at
any time concerning his or her course of study and future academic plans. Every degree candidate
is furnished with a degree progress audit showing his or her exact standing in relation to degree
conferral requirements. While everything possible is done to help the student plan his or her
program correctly, the final responsibility for taking the courses which will fulfill the degree
conferral requirements rests upon the student.

Registration Holds
A student will not be permitted to register if there is a “hold” on his or her account. Obligations that
can result in holds are most often financial (e.g., past-due accounts, including unpaid tuition and
fees). Other holds may be related to academic standing (probation or suspension) or incomplete
admission files (missing transcripts). To clear a hold, the student must contact the office that has
issued the hold to find out what must be done to fulfill the obligation(s).

Music Auditions, Placement Tests, Examinations & Evaluations

Music Lesson Auditions: Students taking music lessons for the first time at BJU or changing to a
different music area must audition before registering for classes. An accompanist and other audition
materials will be provided as needed. See the university website for specific audition requirements.
Music Group Auditions (choirs, bands, orchestras, instrumental groups): All students may audition
for a music group. Auditions will take place at the same times and locations as the auditions for
music lessons. Students desiring to join a music group may block hours during registration for
rehearsal times. See the university website for specific audition requirements.
Placement Tests: Placement tests are given to determine the level of instruction for which a student
should register. Students should take all placement tests that apply to them before registering for
classes. Following each test, students will be informed which course(s) they should register for and/
or waive.
1. English Test: Required of students who have no ACT or SAT scores.
2. Mathematics Test: Required for students who have no ACT or SAT scores and whose programs
require a math course the initial semester of enrollment (e.g., engineering, science, math, etc.).
Students who do not need a math course their first semester should wait until their ACT or SAT
scores are available.
3. Mathematics Proof Techniques Test: Required of any student taking a 300-level or above math
class. If the test is passed, MA 150 Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning will be waived. If
the test is not passed, MA 150 is required before any 300-level or higher math class can be taken.
4. World Language Tests: Chinese, French, German and Spanish: Students taking a world language
course for the first time at BJU must take the appropriate placement test.
5. Additional Music Tests:
a. Introduction to Music Theory Test: Required of all incoming music majors or minors and any
other students registering for MT 105 Theory I. If not passed, MT 099 Introduction to Music
Theory (0 credits) must be taken during the same semester as MT 105.
b. Music Theory Test: Required of all transfer music majors. This test, along with an aural skills
test, is also given to new undergraduate music majors who wish (on the basis of previous
training in music theory) to exempt any part of music theory. Undergraduate students must
also complete and pass the Introducton to Music Theory Test before taking the Music Theory
Test.
 51
Examinations
Examinations are given as listed below:
1. Final Examinations: With the exception of music lesson examinations, written final exams for
all undergraduate courses are administered on the last class day for courses taught on a block
schedule or according to the final exam week schedule at the end of each semester.
2. The Praxis Series:
a. Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators: Required of all students seeking teacher candidacy
as a teacher education major and whose ACT composite score is 21 or below or SAT
composite score is 1090 or below. The Praxis Core measures basic skills in reading, writing
and mathematics and includes multiple-choice questions and an essay question on the writing
tests. The tests are designed to evaluate the academic skills needed to prepare for a career in
education. All three tests (writing, reading and mathematics) must be taken and passed. A
student who fails one or more tests is required to retake only the test that was not passed.
Expenses associated with the Praxis Series are the responsibility of the student. For more
information visit www.ets.org/praxis.
b. Praxis II Subject Assessments: Required of all students completing a degree in teacher
education. The Praxis II Subject Assessments measure knowledge of specific subjects that K–12
educators will teach, as well as general and subject-specific teaching skills and knowledge.
Praxis II scores are used by the State Department of Education to determine a student’s
eligibility for licensure in South Carolina. Both the Subject Assessments and the Principles
of Learning and Teaching Test must be taken and passed for licensure recommendation.
Expenses associated with the Praxis Series are the responsibility of the student. For more
information visit www.ets.org/praxis.
Validation Examinations & Placement: Students desiring advanced standing on the basis of
academic work which BJU is unable to accept without examination may validate such work by
examination during their initial semester of enrollment. A fee is charged for each exam to validate
credit for acceptance and/or placement. This procedure also applies to academic work taken in Bible
schools which do not have an approved college department.
Evaluations: Various programs may require individual evaluations of a student’s performance at
certain milestones in his or her program to determine formal acceptance as a candidate for the degree.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Auditing Courses
Students may, with the permission of the registrar, audit courses without credit. Audited courses will
count toward a student’s course load. Degree-seeking students may audit only one course per term.
Auditors of courses are required to follow the same registration procedures as students taking the
courses for credit. Auditors do not receive grades or credits. Participation in class discussion and
written work is permitted at the discretion of the course instructor. An audit course is included in
a full-time student’s tuition charge. Part-time students pay a reduced per credit charge for an audit
course. The status of an auditor cannot be changed after the course has begun. BJU reserves the right
to cancel an audit registration if class size exceeds space available.
Please note that a student may not take a course for credit after he or she has audited it; so if a
student signs up for a course that is a required course in the student’s degree program, the student
cannot audit it. Also, if a student has been denied enrollment as a graduate student, the student may
not audit a graduate course.

Change of Course: Drop, Add & Withdrawal

After registration the student is given time to make any necessary adjustments in his or her
schedule. See the Calendar of Events for the official drop/add period. All schedule changes are
52
subject to a change fee. After the drop/add period students may drop courses when necessary, but
no new courses may be added. Courses dropped during the first five weeks will receive a grade of
“W.” From then until the final three weeks of the semester any course withdrawn will carry a grade
of WF (withdrawn failure). Courses may not be dropped during the final two weeks of regular
classes or during final exams. Course withdrawals during the final two weeks of classes will be
processed as a grade of F. A student who makes any changes in his or her schedule without following
the correct university procedure will receive a grade of F for the course involved.
While withdrawing from a course in accordance with established procedures and timelines will
have no impact on a student’s GPA, a student’s eligibility to continue receiving financial aid may be
adversely impacted. Withdrawal can also potentially adversely impact a student’s VA benefits, and
for foreign students their immigration status. A student is therefore encouraged to consult with his
or her academic advisor, the Registrar’s Office and the Office of Financial Aid before withdrawing.
Students are considered the responsible parties for any/all transactions processed against their
academic records.
Course Withdrawal for Medical Reasons: Students who seek to withdraw from a course for medical
reasons must submit medical documentation to the registrar. Students who are granted a medical
withdrawal by the registrar after the last day to withdraw will receive a “W” grade for the enrolled
courses.

Prerequisite Overrides
In certain circumstances, the appropriate dean may approve a student’s entering a course without
having satisfied the prerequisite requirements. The dean’s decision is final.

Closed Class Permission

To register for a closed course that has reached its enrollment capacity, a student must request
permission from the dean.

Course Substitution & Waiver

Students are expected to satisfy all degree requirements. Only under unavoidable and exceptional
circumstances will BJU permit a student to deviate from an academic program’s requirements via a
course substitution or waiver. When it becomes necessary to request a deviation from the prescribed
course of study, the student must consult his or her dean. In preparing the request, the student is
requested to be mindful of the following:
1. The course to be substituted must be in the same area as the required course or in a closely
related area.
2. Substitution of a course for a previously failed required course is seldom granted.
3. Failure on the part of the student to schedule a required course is not sufficient reason for
granting permission for a course substitution or waiver.
A student wishing to challenge the dean’s decision must file a written appeal with the registrar
within five business days of receiving the decision. Upon receipt of the appeal, the registrar will
immediately bring the matter to the attention of the Deans Council. Within 10 business days of
receipt of the appeal, the chair of the Deans Council will notify the student of the Deans Council’s
decision.

Course Enrollments
Excluding private lessons, internships and independent study courses, no course will be offered in
any of the undergraduate schools unless there is an enrollment of at least 10 students—unless an
exception is made by the dean.
 53
Textbooks
In compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act, a listing of required and/or optional
textbooks for courses is made available through the Bruins Shop and Textbook Store website
(accessible through the Student Portal). Included on the website is the International Standard
Book Number (ISBN) and retail price of every recommended or required book or supplemental
material for all courses offered by BJU. If the ISBN is unavailable, the website provides the author,
title, publisher and copyright date. If textbooks are not listed on the Bruins Stop and Textbook Store
website two weeks prior to the start of classes, students should contact the instructor directly.
Students are free to choose where they purchase course materials. There is no obligation to purchase
a textbook through the Bruins Shop website. The same textbook may also be available from
independent retailers.

MAKING ACADEMIC CHANGES

Change of Major/Minor or Academic Program
Consult the BJU Catalog for major, minor and degree program options.

Associate Programs:
A student who wants to change his or her major to a different associate degree should go to the
Academic Resource Center to see the transition advisor.
Transferring to Baccalaureate Programs: An associate student wishing to change his or her major to
a baccalaureate degree program should see the transition advisor.
1. Associate Placement: Students admitted to an associate degree based upon high school
performance must meet the following qualifications:
a. Be a high school graduate or have passed the GED.
b. Have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA toward an associate degree and be carrying at least 15
credits the semester application is made for transfer.
2. Previous Baccalaureate Students: Students who have been in a baccalaureate program previously
and who changed or were admitted to an associate degree must meet the following qualifications:

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Have earned enough additional quality points with grades of B or A in appropriate courses to
compensate for any previous baccalaureate quality point deficiency and be carrying at least 15
credits during the semester that application is made for transfer.

Baccalaureate Programs
A student who wants to change his or her major or minor should go to the Academic Resource
Center to see the transition advisor.

Transition Advisor
Students who are contemplating a major change should meet with the transition advisor in the
Academic Resources Center. The transition advisor can:
1. Review current academic progress and course completion in connection with a proposed
intended program.
2. Discuss the major requested and/or provide other major available options.
3. Obtain additional resources and/or schedule meetings with select faculty, alumni or deans.
The transition advisor seeks to ensure that the student is selecting an appropriate major for
completion of a degree in a timely manner.
54
Advisory Degree Progress Audit: Students who are contemplating a major change and desire to know
how to the change impacts the completion of a degree in a timely manner may request an advisory
degree progress audit from the transition advisor, at the Registrar’s Office or through an academic
dean. An advisory degree progress audit:
1. How completed and/or currently enrolled courses satisfy the contemplated program requirements.
2. All outstanding course and/or checkpoint requirements, including credit hours needed.
An advisory degree progress audit should be reviewed by both the student and the academic dean or
registrar to facilitate the decision-making process by identifying possible course substitutions based
on completed/outstanding courses and by understanding the impact of completing the new degree
in a timely manner.

Withdrawal from the University

All students who wish to withdraw from the University must notify the office of Student
Development & Discipleship for completion of the requisite form and dissemination of the
information to the appropriate offices. Students must understand that unlike a temporary leave
of absence, a withdrawal is a permanent decision. Students who withdraw from BJU will need to
reapply to the University should they wish to return, and readmission is not guaranteed.
Students who are granted a withdrawal after the last day to withdraw will receive “W” grades for all
enrolled courses.

Leave of Absence
An undergraduate student may request a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the University which, when
granted, permits the student to maintain matriculated status although not in attendance and to
resume study without applying for readmission. A student granted LOA is not considered to have
withdrawn, and if the student is a Title IV recipient, no return calculation will be required. Upon
the student’s return from the leave, the student will continue to earn the federal student aid
previously awarded for the period. Students who wish to leave and do not intend to finish their
studies at BJU must go through the University’s official withdrawal process. For complete details
in regard to requesting and returning from a Leave of Absence, see Policy Volume V on the
university intranet.

Quality points will be computed as follows, in all schools of BJU:
A 4 quality points per credit attempted
B 3 quality points per credit attempted
C 2 quality points per credit attempted
D 1 quality point per credit attempted
F 0 quality points per credit attempted
P 0 quality points per credit attempted
Students who enter with advanced standing are required to earn twice as many quality points as
semester credits while they are in residence at Bob Jones University. Since an average of C is the
minimum requirement for university degree conferral, no student who has less than a cumulative
2.0 GPA may consider himself or herself a candidate for a degree if his or her record fails to meet

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
this minimum standard.

Grade Reports
New and transfer students receive a four-week grade assessment of their initial semester at
Bob Jones University.
All students are given an opportunity to evaluate their progress at approximately the midpoint
of the semester.
Final grade reports are issued once each academic period (i.e., at the end of each semester). Any
questions concerning the accuracy of a grade report must be submitted to the respective course
instructor within 20 business days of the report issued. The course instructor will confer with the
student within two business weeks thereafter and will review the records and evidence to determine
whether any error or omission has occurred.
If an error has been made, the procedure described in the BJU Grade Change policy is followed. If
the issue is not resolved between the student and the course instructor, the student must follow the
procedures set forth in the BJU Academic Grievance and Complaint Policy.
Evaluation of student performance is the prerogative and responsibility of the course instructor.
Students must be aware that in questions relating to the quality of that performance, the professional
56
judgment of the faculty member is commonly accepted as authoritative by the University. An
academic grievance is most likely to result in a change of grade for a course if it includes evidence
that there was an error in computing the grade or that the grade was determined by standards
improperly different from those applied to other students in the course.
Students who made an Incomplete (“I”) during the fall semester are required to make up or
complete their work by the following March 1. Students who make an I during the spring semester
or summer are required to make up or complete their work by the following November 1. If the
work is not completed by the required deadline, the I will be changed to an F. A student who makes
up his or her work within the required time will receive a grade determined by the instructor.

Missed Final Exams

Students who do not take the final exam must be given a zero when the faculty member computes
the final grade. Students who miss an exam for legitimate reasons must secure permission from the
registrar and make arrangements with the instructor to take the exam prior to the deadline to turn
in grades. If the Registrar’s Office has been notified that the reason for missing the exam prohibits
the student from taking the exam prior to the deadline, the instructor will be notified by the
Registrar’s Office and an incomplete grade may be awarded.

Transcripts
To order a transcript, a student/former student must make a request in writing to the Registrar’s
Office. Please include full legal name, date of birth, year of last attendance and signature.
An official transcript must be mailed directly from Bob Jones University to the entity designated.
Please include the name and address of the organization to which you wish the official transcript to
be sent. An unofficial transcript may be sent directly to the student.
There is no charge for transcripts unless more than nine are requested at one time. Then the
University will charge a fee per transcript, including the first nine.
The transcript is the University’s certified statement of a student’s academic record. It contains a
student’s major and lists all the courses and grades earned in the terms attempted; the grade point
average; and if applicable, a minor, transfer work, and notations of distinctions and degrees received.
A transcript may be authorized for release on security paper as either official or unofficial at the
written request of a student. The student’s account with Financial Services must be cleared before
a transcript can be released. An official transcript is issued to a designated organization and bears
the multicolored seal of BJU and the signature of the registrar. An unofficial transcript is stamped
“Issued to Student.”
The usual processing time for a transcript request is 48 hours. (At the beginning or end of a
semester, please allow one week.) Transcripts are sent by regular U.S. Postal Service. Any type of
special handling will necessitate an additional charge that must be paid in advance.
Requests for transcripts must be submitted online through bju.edu or to:
Registrar’s Office
Bob Jones University
Greenville, SC 29614

Experience That Counts (ETC)

Bob Jones University maintains an official university document that records the co-curricular
and extra-curricular activities of undergraduate students. It is called the ETC—“Experience That
Counts.” The purpose of the ETC is twofold. First, it helps students remember and reflect on aspects
of their BJU education that they may easily forget or fail to properly value. The ETC provides a
tool to help each student better market himself or herself to prospective employers by highlighting
aspects of his or her education outside the classroom. In the second place, this document is intended
 57
for future employers. Together with the transcript, the ETC gives a more complete picture of the
skills, abilities, leadership and experiences that a student brings to the workplace.
The ETC lists the following types of experiences that have been verified by the faculty and staff
of BJU:
• Choirs, instrumental, groups, etc.
• Community Service events by number of hours
• Intercollegiate athletic and academic teams
• Internships
• Major offices in societies, student organizations, etc.
• Ministry Team membership
• Mission teams
• Peer Leaders in Pathways classes
• Residence hall positions
• Service Learning participation
• Society intramural team participation
• Study abroad
• Study group leaders for classes

Academic Honors
Dean’s/President’s Lists
Undergraduate students are eligible for honors during semester terms when carrying 12 or
more credits.
• Dean’s List for a grade point average 3.0–3.74
• President’s List for a grade point average 3.75–4.0
Honors indication is noted on a student’s grade report.

Graduation with Honors

A candidate for the baccalaureate degree will be graduated with honors as follows:
• cum laude for a grade point average 3.50–3.74
• magna cum laude for a grade point average 3.75–3.90

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
• summa cum laude for a grade point average 3.91–4.0
The grade point average is based on the student’s entire college program, and in computing the
average, work taken elsewhere which has been accepted in transfer is considered at the same grade
value as the institution where it was earned.
Honors indication is noted on a student’s diploma and transcript.

Revocation of Academic Credit or Degree

Bob Jones University certifies the academic achievement of its students through the awarding
of course credits and, ultimately, formal degrees. Employers, graduate schools and other entities
outside of BJU rely upon academic degrees to verify the knowledge and qualifications possessed
by university graduates. As such, BJU maintains procedures to ensure that only those students
who have completed their academic requirements in accordance with all university policies receive
course credits or degrees. Despite these efforts, it is possible that some students who are ineligible to
receive course credit or a degree may—because of administrative error, fraud or other misconduct—
be erroneously awarded credit or a degree before the violation is discovered. In such cases, BJU
reserves the right to revoke the credit or degree in question, regardless of the amount of time that
has passed since the certification was issued. For the guidelines by which BJU processes credit or
degree revocation for fraudulent application, academic dishonesty, disciplinary misconduct and
administrative error, see Policy Volume V on the university intranet.
58
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Academic Integrity
A key aspect of Christlike character is integrity. In their academic lives, students exhibit integrity by being
truthful about their own academic work and properly acknowledging sources of ideas and information.

Cheating
Cheating in any form is not tolerated. Cheating includes:
• Copying from another student’s test or assignment or allowing another person to copy one’s own
academic, research or creative work—whether intentionally or recklessly.
• Unauthorized provision or use of notes, textbooks or other unauthorized helps on a test or
assignment—such as requesting or accepting answers on a quiz or test from another student who has
already taken it, discussing test information to any extent with other students, transmitting quizzes
or tests, or answers to quizzes or tests electronically to other students via cellphone, email, etc.
• The unauthorized use of electronic instruments such as cellphones, pagers or other mobile
devices to access or share information.
• Changing answers after a test or assignment has been completed.
• Reporting false information about the completion of an assignment, including turning in
someone’s work as one’s own (another student’s, a purchased paper from an online source, etc.).
• The unauthorized completion of academic work for another person.
• The unauthorized collaboration with any other person on an academic exercise, including
collaboration on a take-home or makeup academic exercise.
• Bypassing or attempting to bypass security measures or electronic assessments (e.g., passwords).
• Unauthorized use of a proctor who does not meet assigned criteria.

Plagiarism
Another form of cheating is plagiarism, the intentional or unintentional use, to any degree, of the ideas or
words of one’s source material without proper acknowledgement. Plagiarism typically takes two forms:
Substantial: Failure to acknowledge the use of an author’s ideas or organization by footnote or
identification of the source in the text of the paper. Incomplete paraphrase (mere rearrangement of
syntax and substitution of synonyms for the author’s words) is plagiarism.
Verbal: Failure to acknowledge the use of an author’s words by quotation marks as well as by footnote
or identification in the text.
Plagiarism is theft, and the Scriptures are clear that we are to respect the property of others and
to be honest and above reproach in all things (Exod. 20:15; Rom. 12:17; Heb. 13:18). Regardless
of the source being used (internet site, book, database, magazine, newspaper, computer program,
speech, class notes, handouts, etc.), all words and information from those sources must be presented
accurately and acknowledged properly so that a student’s integrity is not called into question and his
or her testimony harmed.
Examples of appropriate and inappropriate handling of source material:
Original text: “As Rome became involved in wars fought on many fronts and with many soldiers,
supplying military provisions became a lucrative business. Usually the contractors were paid as
soon as their work was completed. In a military emergency, however, they might be asked to accept
a promise of deferred payment (probably with interest).” (Shelton, JoAnn. As the Romans Did: A
Source Book in Roman Social History. New York: Oxford UP, 1988. 146–47. Print.)
Unacceptable Paraphrase: As Rome fought wars on many fronts and with many soldiers, supplying
provisions to the military became a money-making business. Usually contractors were paid right
away, but in an emergency they were asked to accept deferred payment (Shelton 146–47). [This
paraphrase is inappropriate because it follows the same syntax (sentence structure) and uses many
of the same words as the original.]
 59
Acceptable Paraphrase: Dealing in military supplies was a profitable industry when Rome’s armies
grew and became entangled on multiple fronts. Although suppliers in times of crisis were willing
to be paid on a delayed schedule, in most cases the Roman government was able to pay them
immediately (Shelton 146–47). [Note different words and different syntax.]
Plagiarism Checking: Students should be aware that faculty members have access to software
programs that allow them to check student writing for plagiarism.
Students may refer to College Writing (Chapter 5) and Companion to College English (Chapter 23) for
more information regarding plagiarism and how to avoid it.
Sanctions for Plagiarism
• Any student whose paper clearly exhibits plagiarism of substance or expression will receive an F
on the assignment and may be required to submit a replacement assignment for no credit.
• If the course is one in which the preparation of an acceptable research paper is the main
requirement, the student whose research paper exhibits plagiarism will receive an F in the course.

Copyrighted Material
All original works in any media format (including, but not limited to print, video or audio) as well as
images or materials on the internet are protected by copyright law, regardless of whether a specific
copyright statement is attached to the media. Any duplication that does not fall within the guidelines
of fair use requires permission from the publishing agent or copyright owner. Please see the BJU
copyright guidelines for information regarding fair use (on the intranet under Academics).

Other Types of Academic Integrity Violations

Other issues of academic integrity include collusion—cooperating with or assisting other students
for the purpose of cheating; recycling—submitting work for which you have already received
credit; sabotage—destruction or deliberate inhibition of progress of another student’s work; and
falsification of data, information or records.

Violations/Resolutions
Penalties for violations of academic integrity are usually academic but may also be disciplinary.
Cheating on a final exam brings denial of re-enrollment. For additional information regarding
penalties, resolutions and sanctions, as well as the appeals process for issues of academic integrity,

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
see Policy Volume V on the university intranet.

Class Attendance
The University’s mission includes instilling professionalism, dependability and punctuality in
students. Training students in these virtues is accomplished in part through holding students
accountable for their class attendance. The Class Attendance Policy makes clear to students
expectations in regard to class attendance and the consequences of failure to fulfill these academic
responsibilities. This policy also gives direction to the administration and faculty in formulating and
implementing a reasonable structure for such accountability. Student success is largely dependent on
frequent and positive interactions with faculty; therefore, this policy is also designed to strengthen
this essential relationship.
The University recognizes that there are valuable learning experiences outside of the classroom that
may require a student to miss regularly scheduled classes. Therefore this policy makes provision for
Excused Absences.

Undergraduate Student Responsibilities

Undergraduate students are expected to attend and arrive on time for all scheduled class sessions for
each resident course in which they are enrolled, including final exams. Students are to use effective
time management in order to meet their class attendance responsibilities.
60
Unexcused Absences
Based on the number of times that a course meets each week during a semester, students are
permitted a defined number of Unexcused Absences. The chart below defines the number of
permitted Unexcused Absences.
Students apply Unexcused Absences for funerals, for sickness, for doctor’s or dentist’s appointments,
for visits and interviews at graduate schools or for interviews for future employment. Unexcused
Absences are not “skips.” Unexcused Absences are not provided so that students can prepare for
other classes or extend official university breaks or simply because they do not feel well. Students
should use Unexcused Absences only for genuine emergencies or contagious or debilitating illness.
In order to conserve Unexcused Absences, students should work with doctor’s or dentist’s offices to
intentionally schedule appointments during times when they do not have classes or chapel.

Class meetings per week 1 2 3 4 5 (Block)

Unexcused Absences allowed 1 2 3 4 5 0

Students who are withdrawn from courses due to excess class absences may lose student financial
aid; also, in such circumstances, the visa status of international students may be jeopardized.

Excused Absences
Based on the number of times that a course meets each week during a semester, students are also
permitted a defined number of Excused Absences. Students may use these absences to attend
approved academic functions or conferences, approved Christian service projects, required military
duty or as part of an intercollegiate athletic team. However, students who exceed the Unexcused
Absence limit due to a chronic illness are not eligible to participate in events that require Excused
Absences. Also, students who are on any type of academic restriction (including probation) or
who have a current grade report with a cumulative GPA below 2.0 are not eligible to participate in
events that require Excused Absences. The chart below defines the number of permitted Excused
Absences.

Class meetings per week 1 2 3 4 5 (Block)

Excused Absences allowed 1 3 4 5 7 0

Students should understand that they may not have enough Excused Absences to participate in all
the events that are offered in the courses and activities in which they are participating in a particular
semester. Such a circumstance offers students the opportunity to learn that life at times will force
them to make a choice between more than one desirable options. In such a situation, students are
not permitted to exceed the number of permitted Excused Absences for the course and so they must
choose which events they wish to participate in.
Students who participate in an event requiring an Excused Absence are required to notify their
instructors at least one week in advance of the day of the absence that they intend to take an
Excused Absence. This notification will give time for the student and instructor to plan make-up
work ahead of the absence. Such students will be allowed to take any quiz or test either in advance
of the absence or while traveling (with proper supervision by the faculty sponsor/coach). Such
students are responsible to schedule presentations or speeches on days that they know they will not
be traveling. Whether to allow students participating in these events to submit work after the due
date without penalty is left to the instructor's discretion.
 61
Partial Attendance
Students who arrive up to 15 minutes after the start of class, or who leave class up to 15 minutes
early, will receive a mark for Partial Attendance. Three Partial Attendance marks will count as a
Unexcused Absence. Students who miss more than 15 minutes of a class period will be counted
as absent.

Tracking Absences
Students can view absences and the number of Partial Attendance marks that they have for a course
in the student information system. The student information system also automatically sends emails
to students to inform them when faculty have marked them absent or late for a class and to warn
them when they have exhausted their Unexcused Absences, Excused Absences or both. It is the
responsibility of all students to monitor the record of their class attendance available in the student
information system and to read the automated emails that inform them when instructors have
marked them absent or late.

Chronic Illness
Students who have a chronic illness (e.g., diabetes, asthma, migraines, etc.) and are absent from
classes because of prolonged or recurring symptoms:
• are to secure a doctor’s note stating that they have a chronic illness;
• are to present the note to the Student Services Hub in advance or within two business days of
returning to classes after an illness-related absence;
• are to inform instructors in their courses that they have a chronic condition
For future absences because of the same chronic illness, the student is to notify his or her instructor
and to email the Student Services Hub (hub@bju.edu) the following information within 24 hours of
a missed class:
• Name and ID #
• A statement indicating that the reason for the absence is a chronic condition with a doctor’s note
already on file
• Date and class(es) missed
Students with a chronic illness are to keep their class absences to a minimum. Students with chronic
illnesses may use the total of both Unexcused Absences and Excused Absences. However, students

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
who exceed the Unexcused Absence limit due to a chronic illness are not eligible to participate in
events that require Excused Absences. Students who exceed the total of both Unexcused Absences
and Excused Absences will be withdrawn from course(s) and/or the University.
Doctor's notes for chronic illness are valid for the current academic year. For continuing illness, a
new note is required each academic year.

Accountability and Appeal Policy and Procedures

Withdrawal
Students who exceed the permitted number of Unexcused and/or Excused Absences in a course will
be withdrawn from that course:
• Withdrawal Due to Exceeding Unexcused Absences: Students who exceed the number of
Unexcused Absences in a course will be withdrawn from that course. The student information
system and email will inform students and their instructors that they have exceeded the number
of permitted Unexcused Absences and that they have therefore been withdrawn from that course.
There are only two exceptions to this policy:
62
° The student is absent from a class due to chronic illness verified by a note from a doctor. In this
case, the student will be permitted to use one or more remaining Excused Absences. See above
for additional policy and procedures in regarding to chronic illness.

° The student is absent from a class due to tragedy such as the funeral of a close family member. In
this case, the student will be permitted to use one or more remaining Excused Absences.
• Withdrawal Due to Exceeding Excused Absences: When students exceed the number of permitted
Excused Absences for a course, one of their remaining Unexcused Absences will automatically be
used to cover the absence. However, students who are absent from class after they have exhausted
both the Unexcused Absences and Excused Absences available for that course will be withdrawn
from the course.
Appeals
1. Absences: Because absences are a serious issue and may result in withdrawal, students should
carefully monitor their absences and immediately clear up inaccuracies in their attendance
records. Students may request a review of the accuracy of absences or Partial Attendance marks
directly with the instructor for the course within two business days of being notified of the
absence or Partial Attendance in the student information system.
2. Course Withdrawal: When a student is notified of withdrawal from a course, the student may
seek to be reinstated in the course by talking with the registrar. The procedure in this case
includes the following steps:
• Within two business days of being notified of the withdrawal, the student should complete
the Appeal of Course Withdrawal form that is available on the intranet and email it to the
instructor. During this type of appeal, the student should continue to attend class.
• The instructor will respond to the appeal by email within 24 hours and will copy the registrar on
his response. If the instructor denies the appeal, the registrar will withdraw the student from the
course. If the instructor grants the appeal, the registrar will rescind the withdrawal, permitting
one more absence.
3. Registrar Appeal: Students who wish to appeal the decision of the instructor of a course in
upholding their withdrawal may set up an appointment with the registrar within two business
days of their withdrawal. During this type of appeal, the student should continue to attend
class. The registrar will weigh extenuating circumstances but will also weigh the rationale of the
instructor regarding the withdrawal.

Class Deportment
Appropriate class deportment is a matter of self-control. Students are expected to be attentive
in class. Talking, reading, studying other materials, text messaging, writing letters and sleeping
are inappropriate. Students using a laptop or handheld device may use it only for functions the
instructor deems pertinent to the class they are in—not for answering email, playing games,
browsing the internet, participating in social media sites or working on assignments for other
classes. Water and other beverages in covered containers may be brought into the classroom at the
discretion of the instructor.

Relationships in the Classroom

BJU students are brothers and sisters in Christ and should treat one another with respect, both
inside and outside the classroom.
While instructors are in a position of authority in the classroom, students and instructors are also
brothers and sisters in Christ … and in the event of some form of disagreement should approach
one another respectfully and in accordance with biblical principles. Appropriate discourse in a
reasoned fashion is part of the education process; and strong opinions informed by fact, logic,
spiritual maturity and biblical insight are valued. At the same time, disagreement over ideas and 63

other academic issues can occur. Students are not just welcome but invited to discuss any matter
with their instructors. In particular, if a student wishes to discuss an area of disagreement with an
instructor, he or she should go directly to that instructor outside of class and respectfully present
his or her concerns without fear of academic penalty. Airing complaints publicly in venues such as
social media is not an appropriate means of resolving an issue.

Class Cancellations
On rare occasions, it may be necessary to cancel a scheduled class due to inclement weather or an
instructor’s inability to meet a class.
Inclement Weather Cancellations: Unless announced via email; television stations WYFF Channel
4, WHNS Fox Carolina 21 or WSPA Channel 7; or radio stations WORD 106.3 FM or WYRD 1330
AM, classes will continue as usual on days of inclement weather.
Faculty Member Decision to Cancel Class: When an instructor is unable to meet a class because of
illness and unable to arrange for a substitute, an official notice with this information will be posted
outside the assigned classroom.

Classroom Courtesy
Professional responsibility requires prompt and regular attendance of course instructors at their
classes and other assigned duties. Classes are to begin and end promptly. Students are free to assume
that a class has been canceled and may leave if the instructor is not present within 20 minutes of the
usual starting time unless the instructor has established an alternate procedure.

DEGREE CONFERRAL
Prospective Graduates
Juniors and Seniors: Students within 50 credits of completing their degrees by May or August of
the current academic year or by the following December should also plan their extended schedules
(next semester and/or the summer) to ensure that all degree requirements can be completed without
conflicts. Advisors are asked to discuss with juniors and seniors their goals for completing degree
requirements so that these students can plan accordingly.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Anticipated Conferral: The month and year is listed on the Profile page if the student declared his or
her intent to graduate.
Graduate Approval for Seniors: Seniors in their last semester of enrollment in a bachelor’s degree
program who wish to take one graduate course for graduate credit or enter a graduate program at
BJU the next semester must receive graduate approval from the Deans Council. Application must be
made at the Registrar’s Office.
Diploma Orders and Graduation: Students completing degree requirements in December, May or
August must complete a diploma order. Under certain circumstances a candidate for a degree may
be permitted to participate in the commencement procession prior to completion of all coursework
or requirements.
The student must use his or her full legal name—absolutely no initials.
A woman who is married prior to the conferral of her degree may opt to use either her maiden or
married last name. Example: first, middle, maiden OR first, middle and/or/both maiden, married.
Note: October 1 is the last day to cancel a December diploma order without being charged the
graduation fee. February 1 is the last day to cancel a May diploma order without being charged the
graduation fee. Diploma changes must be made with the Registrar’s Office. Students whose conferral
date is changed after October 1, February 1 or July 1 will be charged a reorder fee.
64

Deficiencies: Any deficiencies listed on a student’s degree progress audit must be made up before he
or she may receive a degree from BJU.

Commencement Information for Graduating Students

Bob Jones University confers degrees in December, May and August with one commencement
ceremony (in May) each year. Commencement activities are scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
December Conferral: All students finishing degree requirements in December are encouraged
to participate in commencement. December degrees will be conferred on the Friday after the fall
semester final exams.
May Conferral: Eligible prospective graduates who are in residence during the spring semester
and are receiving their degrees in May are to participate. Students finishing degree requirements
in May by online courses and/or transfer work are encouraged to participate in Commncement.
Prospective graduates not in residence durng the spring semester will receive information about
commencement around mid-March. This information will include a commencement participation
questionnaire that is to be returned to the Registrar’s Office by April 15.
August Conferral: Students completing degree requirements during the summer for an August
degree conferral may be eligible to participate in our annual May commencement procession
and should review the Procession Concession requirements for eligibility. August degrees will be
conferred on the Friday prior to the official opening of the academic year for the fall term.
Coursework Away Spring Semester (either by online learning or in residence): In order for a student
to participate in commencement, the following course completion and grade reporting deadlines to
the Registrar’s Office must be observed:
All coursework taken in residence or by online learning at another institution must be approved in
advance based on submission of a Transfer Work Request form to the Registrar’s Office. Grades for
any coursework taken from another institution must be reported to the Registrar’s Office by 5 p.m.
on the Monday prior to commencement in order for the student to participate in the commencement
procession. BJU will accept a phone call from the institution indicating satisfactory completion of the
course for the purpose of marching; however, an official transcript must be received before the diploma
can be released.
Note: Some institutions take three to four weeks to process and report grades.
Students who have an outstanding Incomplete in any course, including online learning courses in
progress but not completed, will not be eligible to participate in the commencement procession.

Procession Concession Eligibility Requirements

BJU wants all students finishing degree requirements to have the opportunity to participate in
commencement. Because the University conducts only one commencement each year (in May),
some students may have completed applicable residency requirements or will complete them in
BJU’s summer session, but may not have completed all of their course or checkpoint requirements
by the deadline for participation in the commencement program. Many students finishing
requirements for their degree during the summer will qualify to participate. To be considered for a
Procession Concession, the student must meet the following academic criteria and be planning to
complete all outstanding degree requirements prior to the August degree conferral date. (Summer
degrees are conferred the Friday prior to the official opening of academic year for the fall term.)

Associate Degree Candidates:

• Have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA.
• Have completed applicable residency requirements or will complete in BJU’s summer session.
• Lack six or fewer credits scheduled through BJU or another approved institution.
Baccalaureate Degree Candidates: 65
• Have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA.
• Have completed applicable residency requirements or will complete in BJU’s summer session.
• Lack 11 or fewer credits scheduled through BJU or another approved institution.
• May lack recital or show if check has been successfully passed.
Master’s Degree Candidates:
• Have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA (2.6 GPA for MDiv).
• Have completed applicable residency requirements.
• Lack credits scheduled through BJU or another approved institution.
• May lack MA Religion Comprehension Exam or Portfolio.
The following do not fulfill Procession Concession qualifications: language proficiencies or
thesis/dissertation.

ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS
A student who desires academic forgiveness must submit an Academic Forgiveness Request form to
the registrar’s office at the Student Services Hub. All requests must be made prior to the conferral of
the student’s degree. Both the original course and the repeat course must be taken at BJU.

Academic forgiveness does not apply to a student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress eligibility
required to receive financial aid. According to Federal Student Aid program regulations, all
credits attempted and all grades earned must be used to calculate a student’s cumulative GPA and
completion rate to confirm eligibility for financial aid.

Undergraduate Academic Forgiveness Policy: An undergraduate student is permitted to repeat

up to six credits of courses in which the student earned a grade of D or F and up to three credits of
courses in which the student earned a grade of C- or above to improve his or her cumulative grade
point average. A student may repeat each of these courses once under this policy. The grades for
each course attempt will remain on the student’s academic record; however, only the grade achieved
in the second attempt will count toward the student’s grade point average. Use of the forgiveness
policy for a prior semester will not affect the academic restriction for that semester.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
The Academic Forgiveness Policy does not apply to:
• Repeating a course that is a prerequisite for a course that the student has completed with a grade
of D or higher
• Repeating or replacing a course requirement by a course substitution or transfer work
• Courses designated as repeatable (e.g., ensembles, music lessons, etc.)
• Program capstone courses
• Any course in which the student was previously found in violation of the academic integrity policy.
66
UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC RESTRICTIONS
Academic Record Review & Academic Restriction
for Associate & Bachelor’s Degree Programs
The academic record of every undergraduate student will be reviewed at the end of each semester to
ensure that each student is meeting the minimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average (GPA) degree
requirement. For complete information regarding students who do not meet minimum degree
requirements, see Policy Volume V on the university intranet.
Records of students in programs with higher GPA requirements will be reviewed by the appropriate
school, division or department for students to continue in their programs.

Academic Warning
When the term (semester/summer) grade point average (GPA) of an undergraduate degree-
seeking student drops below 2.0, regardless of his or her cumulative GPA, the student will be sent
an academic warning. This notice will be copied to the student’s academic advisor. The warning is
intended to alert the student so that the appropriate measures necessary for academic success can be
taken for and during the next term.

Academic Probation
Academic Probation is not a status, but a pathway back to success. Therefore, undergraduate degree-
seeking students with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA at the end of any term will be placed on
academic probation for the next term. While on academic probation,
• Resident students are limited to a maximum 13-credit load. Students in an online degree
program are limited to taking only one online course at a time.
• Resident students are required to enroll in and attend UNI 093 Academic Management Seminar
every semester they are on academic probation.
• Students are not eligible for planned or excused absences from classes.
• Students are not eligible to hold a major office in any university organization.
• Students are not eligible to be student ambassadors or resident assistant.
• If students are regularly meeting with their Academic Management Seminar coach, they may
participate in only one of the following:
• Participation on one intramural sports team, either as a player or a coach.
• Practicing (but not playing) on one intercollegiate sports team.
• Participation in one university-sponsored choral or music ensemble.
Note: Students on academic probation may not participate in a university-sponsored cultural or
fine arts event unless required by their major or minor. However, a student who began participating
in rehearsals for a university-sponsored cultural or fine arts event the semester before the student
was placed on academic restriction may appeal to the Office of the Provost to continue his or her
participation through the final performances of the event.
• Students are not eligible to take online classes unless they are enrolled in an online degree
program. Students enrolled in an online degree program are limited to taking only one online
course at a time.
Students may appeal any of these restrictions to the Office of the Provost. Students should not
assume that making an appeal will guarantee the easing of any of these restrictions.

Academic Dismissal
Students on academic probation will be academically dismissed from Bob Jones University if they
drop below a semester GPA of 2.0 for two consecutive semesters (or two consecutive terms for
students in online programs). Any student academically dismissed may petition Deans Council
for readmission. The case will be carefully reviewed to determine if there is a basis for the student’s
 67
resuming the undergraduate program at Bob Jones University. Readmission is not guaranteed and
should not be assumed. A student academically dismissed and then readmitted by Deans Council
is placed on an academic probation and must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher for each semester
thereafter.

Bachelor’s to Associate
At the end of each semester, the academic records of students on academic probation are reviewed.
Students who fail to earn additional quality points with grades of B or A to raise their cumulative
GPA are academically dismissed. Students academically dismissed from a bachelor’s program may
continue in an associate program. These students receive “academic forgiveness” and are given a
fresh start—with no quality point deficiency toward determining their GPA in an associate program.
For the first semester in an associate program, these students are identified on their degree progress
audit and in the probation status as Bachelor’s to Associate. Although this status has no academic
or extracurricular limitations, these students will need assistance concerning time management
and study skills to meet the academic challenges they face so that they can successfully complete an
associate degree.
Note: Bachelor’s to Associate students must take Uni 092 Academic Coaching during their initial
semester of enrollment in an associate program unless the course has been previously taken
and passed.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS & PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

Bob Jones University complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974
(Public Law 93-380), which affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.
They are the right to:
• Inspect and review the student’s education records.
• Request the amendment of the student’s education records.
• Consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information.
• File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education.
Students are notified of their rights annually by email. Students accept or waive their rights
under FERPA once a year and have the opportunity to update that choice at any time. Additional

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
information and university policies regarding the protection of student records are published online
in the Student Portal. Also see Policy Volume II on the university intranet for information on the
procedures for inspecting student records or requesting amendment of student records.

STUDENT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The term “intellectual property” refers to creative works, such as works of an artistic nature (literature,
art, music, performances, broadcasts, etc.), software, inventions, trademarks, etc. For the most part,
students own the intellectual property they generate in the course of their studies at Bob Jones
University. There are a few exceptions to this, such as:
1. If the student was paid by BJU to produce the work in question as part of BJU employment or
through grant or contract funding secured through BJU, then that intellectual property would
be owned by BJU; or
2. If the student and BJU entered in an agreement defining ownership of student intellectual
property as not the student’s. Such an agreement would need to have been entered into before
any work started. This is done in certain cases where there is a corporate sponsor of student class
projects. For such cases the student needs to be aware of what rights he or she has to use the
intellectual property he or she generates as part of the sponsored project.
68
Use of Student Intellectual Property
BJU cannot use student-owned intellectual property without first obtaining permission from the
student, other than for reviewing, providing feedback and marking assignments the student submits
as part of course and other project work, and the use of such student work for the purpose of
assessing courses and programs.

Students as Creators of BJU Intellectual Property

There are situations where intellectual property developed by a student would be owned by BJU.
This would occur if the student was paid by BJU to perform certain work and was the inventor or
author of a creative work that came or resulted from that paid work. The student, as the inventor
or author of BJU-owned intellectual property, would be covered by the BJU Intellectual Property
Rights and Ownership Policy in such cases.

STUDENT GRIEVANCES & COMPLAINTS

Academic Grievances & Complaints
Students are free to speak with instructors to express concerns about final grades. If a student does
not feel that his or her instructor has resolved the issue satisfactorily, he or she may express in
writing a grievance or complaint to the dean of his or her college/school. If the complaint is against
the dean or involves any other academic matter, the student may appeal directly to the office of the
provost, as described below.
If the student does not feel that such a course resolves the issue, he or she may submit a letter of
Inquiry/Complaint to the office of the provost. When the office of the provost receives a formal
letter of Inquiry/Complaint, the provost will convene the Administrative Hearing Committee
to consider the inquiry/complaint. The Administrative Hearing Committee will conduct an
appropriate investigation and will render a written explanation/decision within 30 days of the filing
of the inquiry/complaint to both the student who made the complaint and the vice provost. The
office of the vice provost will keep a record of all student complaints and documentation of how they
were handled.
If the student making the inquiry/complaint is not satisfied with the outcome of the process, he or
she may appeal to the president of the University. The decision of the president is final.

Disability Grievances & Complaints

Any student currently enrolled at BJU who believes he or she has been discriminated against or
harassed on the basis of disability by a university employee (e.g., administrator, faculty, staff, adjunct
faculty or other agent of BJU), university student, or, in certain circumstances, by a visitor to the
University, may use the BJU Disability Grievances and Complaints Policy (see Policy Volume II
on the university intranet) and/or file a formal discrimination complaint pursuant to the BJU
Discrimination and Harassment Policy (see Policy Volume II on the university intranet).

Program Integrity Complaints

U.S. Department of Education Regulation 34 CFR 600.9, the “Program Integrity Rule,” was adopted
to ensure that students have the opportunity to voice concerns relating to programs offered by
postsecondary educational institutions authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act,
as amended. The regulations require states to provide the opportunity for students to lodge the
following types of complaints:
 69
1. Allegations of state consumer protection violations including, but not limited to, fraud and
false advertising.
2. Allegations that state laws or rules addressing the licensure of postsecondary institutions have
been violated.
3. Allegations regarding the quality of education or other accreditation requirements.
In compliance with the Federal Program Integrity Rule, BJU has listed multiple alternatives for
individuals who wish to submit complaints regarding the above. BJU expects that any student
complaint will be filed in accordance with any procedures currently in place at the institution before
resolution is sought from a state agency or the University’s accreditation body. In the absence of a
procedure, the complaint should be filed with the office of the president for appropriate referral.

Filing a Complaint with BJU

BJU has adopted a general student grievance and complaint procedure to address and resolve
questions and concerns students may have relating to the Program Integrity Rule. Please see Policy
Volume VI on the university intranet for additional information.

Student
LIFE
STUDENT CONDUCT
Within the context of a liberal arts education, the mission of Bob Jones University is to help students
develop Christlike character that is manifested in a scripturally disciplined life, service to others,
love for God, sharing of the Gospel, and biblical discernment about what God values for eternity.
Accomplishing healthy discipleship requires an edifying campus atmosphere and an environment
that promotes spiritual growth.
In order to maintain such an environment, BJU bases its system of accountability and correction
on the functions of Scripture taught in 2 Timothy 3:16: teaching, reproof, correction and training
in righteousness. The goal is to develop “complete” Christians fully equipped for every good work
(2 Tim. 3:17).
In executing correction BJU is interested in the student’s long-term spiritual success. The University
recognizes that while the total campus community—students, faculty and staff—continually battles
the flesh on an individual basis, when the Holy Spirit is at work in the believer’s heart, spiritual
growth and sanctification take place.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES & ORGANIZATIONS

Student Activities
Art Exhibits
Art connoisseurs, industry professionals and art-lovers of all kinds enjoy the many art exhibits
throughout the academic year. Scheduled each year are regionally and nationally recognized guest
artists, exhibitions of work by BJU Art and Design alumni, juried competitions, and exhibitions
of student work. Highlights of the year’s exhibition schedule include the group exhibitions by
seniors in the Studio Art; Fashion Design; Interior Architecture and Design; Graphic Design; and
Photography programs. In addition, two overall student competitions are displayed each year: the
Midyear Classwork Show in December and the Art and Design and Photography Contests in April.
Student work is often for sale at these exhibitions. Art exhibits are held in the Sargent Art Building,
which is part of the Gustafson Fine Arts Center.

Bible Conference
The annual Bible Conference is one of the outstanding features of the academic year. Extending for
three days, the Conference brings to the campus America’s outstanding fundamental Bible teachers,
pastors and evangelists. All regular academic work is suspended for the Bible Conference.

BJU Heritage Day

One day is set aside each year in October to remember the rich heritage of Bob Jones University.
The blessing of God upon BJU is evident in the lives of the many godly men and women who have
 73
served as the faculty and staff since the school’s founding. The day features a special chapel service that
includes personal memories of Dr. Bob Jones Sr., Dr. Bob Jones Jr. and the many others who have been
vital to the history of this ministry. These programs often include video and audio clips from the early

nurtured in a liberal arts environment and engages it to impact the world by making disciples of Jesus
Christ

Chapel Services
One of the highlights of the day at Bob Jones University is the 35-minute chapel service held three
to four times each week. These services are a source of great inspiration to students, faculty and staff.
During chapel, messages are brought by the president, administrators, faculty members or guest
speakers. Each semester features a semester Christian living theme chapel series on Mondays as well as
a doctrinal theme series each Wednesday. On Tuesday, the chapel period is devoted to Life Groups by
society in which students discuss and practically apply Monday’s chapel message. Each Friday the time
consists of student-led chapels, society or student body meetings.
Ministry Chapel is also held one day each week during the regular chapel time for students majoring
in the School of Religion and those interested in ministry. These students meet together to receive
instruction and inspiration from the director of Ministry Training and other experienced men
of God.

Christmas Celebration
Thousands of students, faculty and staff, visitors and friends from the community gather around the
front campus fountains for the annual carol sing and lighting ceremony each December. The evening
starts with activities for elementary age children and culminates in the illumination of nearly 100,000
Christmas lights followed by an evening of family activities.

Concert, Opera & Drama Series

Each year the University’s Concert, Opera & Drama Series presents programs by the world’s leading
solo artists and ensembles, as well as a Shakespearean production. The student program fee provides

men’s baseball and women’s lacrosse and volleyball. BJU’s men’s and women’s golf and distance
track team participates in NCCAA and BJU’s shooting sports participate in the Scholastic Shooting
Sports Foundation. Intercollegiate athletics at BJU provide Christian athletes the opportunity to
develop and use God-given talents to glorify God by exhibiting a strong Christian testimony and
to benefit others. At BJU, participation in intercollegiate athletics is a privilege that comes with
responsibility to self, the team, the University and, most importantly, the Lord Jesus Christ. BJU
athletes are foremost students focused on spiritual growth and strong academic achievement. They
avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the intercollegiate athletic environment to learn self-
control, consideration for others, respect for authority and sportsmanship above championship.
Specific policies and procedures pertaining to the BJU intercollegiate athletic program are set forth
in the Intercollegiate Athletics Handbook, which is available on the BJU intranet.

Intramural Sports
In addition to intercollegiate sports, students have the opportunity to participate in a well-integrated
program of intramural athletics through societies. The societies are divided into four leagues,
two for men (American and National) and two for women (Ameri­can and National). Emphasis is
given to participation through multiple team and individual sport opportunities. The competition
includes a variety of team and individual sports, such as soc­cer, basketball, softball, volleyball,
 75
badminton and table tennis. The winners in both the men’s and women’s sports awards competition

models. Each performance also incorporates a drama that clearly presents the Gospel message.

Local Church Attendance

Faithful participation in a local church is integral to the BJU student experience. After following the
church selection process and selecting a church, students are required to attend all Sunday activities
of their local church.

Ministry Teams—Drama, Music, Science & Technology

Bob Jones University ministry teams provide an outlet for students to come alongside churches
and Christian schools, using their God-given talents to edify the body of Christ. Team members
demonstrate their abilities in science and mathematics, drama, and music, showing the academic
strength that Bob Jones University offers. But ministry teams do not exist primarily for promotional
purposes. Their main purpose is to encourage and exhort congregations and Christian schools
throughout the United States. Ministry teams build up schools and churches through gospel-
centered messages. Those traveling stay with families from the host church; this gives students
opportunities to minister in an informal setting. They and their host family share joys and burdens
as they live life together for just a few days. And team members take away a renewed passion for
their calling as they continue to prepare for a future of service for the sake of Christ.

Mission Teams
Each year students have the opportunity to minister in other regions of the world by participating
in one of BJU’s mission teams organized through the Center for Global Opportunities. Students
prepare throughout the year and raise their own financial support. Teams go to various countries
spanning the globe using trade skills, sports, music and preaching/teaching to reach the lost with
the Gospel and to challenge the team members to consider their lifelong level of involvement
concerning the Great Commission. Each fall one chapel service is set aside for the promotion of
summer mission teams.

Museum & Gallery

Through its collection of sacred art, the BJU Museum & Gallery exists to promote the appreciation,
understanding and preservation of quality fine art that reflects universal and scriptural truths based
on God’s Word and works. The collection of old master paintings contains representative works
of Flemish, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish paintings from the 14th through 19th
centuries.

sessions that are intended to help in the student’s transition from high school to college. In addition,
students and parents alike will have the opportunity to enjoy BJU’s Student Information Fair and
interact with representatives from its academic schools and numerous campus departments.

U.Day

and activities designed for all age groups. Booths are sponsored by a variety of BJU’s academic
programs, BJU’s Museum & Gallery, the Center for Global Opportunities and Bob Jones Academy
as well as a number of local representatives from Greenville County. Admission to U. Day is free and
open to the public.

Washington Center Day (Special Olympics)

For over 25 years Bob Jones University faculty and students have volunteered with the Greenville
Area 4 Special Olympics. Annually, more than 500 students help the over 1,200 students with
intellectual disabilities in this international athletic program. Since 1990 BJU has hosted and
sponsored Washington Center Challenge Day, a developmental event for the students with moderate
to severe intellectual disabilities from Greenville County School District’s Washington Center. The
School of Education and the School of Health Professions, Division of Exercise and Sport Science,
in collaboration with the Greenville County Recreation Department and other local businesses,
coordinates and supports this event.

Weekly Ministry Groups

BJU has approximately 100 outreach ministries in which students spread the Gospel in the
community and surrounding region. Students minister in local churches, nursing homes, children’s
clubs, community centers and many other ministries, reaching out each week to people through
evangelism, discipleship and encouragement. This ministry of BJU’s students to the greater
Greenville area has been a tremendous asset to pastors and churches, and a great opportunity for the
students to learn as they train to serve the Lord.
 77

comprised of multiple graded choirs. All students are welcome to audition and are placed according
to their classification and abilities. Singers are re-auditioned periodically to determine proper
placement. The program consists of seven choirs: University Singers, Collegiate Choir, Lyric Choir,
Men’s Glee, Concert Choir, Chorale and Chamber Singers. Performance venues include concerts
of standard choral literature, church music and opera productions. Participants will have the
opportunity to reach their individual technical and artistic choral potential within a program that
strives for the highest level of musical excellence.

Classic Players/Drama
The Classic Players is one of the outstanding college Shakespearean repertoire groups in the world.
Membership is open to students who show the requisite ability in public tryouts. A major production
is presented each year, including great plays such as Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, The Merchant of
Venice and other plays covering the great majority of the Shakespearean repertoire.

Instrumental Ensembles
Several chamber ensembles provide opportunity for specialized performance by qualified
instrumental students. These include a brass ensemble, woodwind ensemble, string ensemble, guitar
ensemble, chamber harp ensemble, handbell choir and percussion ensemble.

Recitals
Recitals celebrate God’s glory through music and drama. Hours of instruction, days of practice and
years of discipline culminate in this moment for friends and family to gather and see what God has
accomplished. During the course of their college careers, students have taken performance classes,
competed against each other and participated in various groups. Weeks prior to the recital, students
undergo the recital check, which determines whether or not they are qualified to perform. Finally,
STUDENT LIFE

in the days before the recital, the performers mentally prepare for the stage—the pressure of an
audience, the desire to represent their time at college well, and the hope of giving their listeners an
artistic gift. Only God could have brought the performers to this moment. Only God deserves
the praise.
78
University Opera Association
Opera productions are presented biennially, often with guest artists featured in the principal roles
along with student and faculty soloists. Supporting roles and chorus parts are taken by students who
show requisite ability.

Campus Media

that offered students hands-on experience in producing a biweekly publication. Students write and
edit articles, design the layout and take photographs for the paper. Stories in The Collegian focus
on campus personalities and student life, helping to unify the large and diverse student body. The
Collegian is an eight-page weekly college newspaper whose purpose is to inform, enlighten and
entertain its readers—BJU’s students, faculty, alumni and extended community. Published every
Friday, it is distributed for free on campus and is available online.

Vintage
The Vintage, “a season’s produce” by definition, is BJU’s yearbook. The staff responsible for
producing it is composed of students from varied academic divisions and classifications within the
University. Colorful, uniquely photographed and beautifully bound, the annual mirrors not only
classes and activities, but also the student body’s goals and Christian philosophy of life. Full-time
students pay a yearbook fee (required) in both the fall and spring semesters. A student attending
only one semester of an academic year, may purchase a yearbook by paying the second semester fee.

practical way ....” Since its humble beginnings, the University Business Association has changed
 83
its name, expanded its scope and enhanced its core mission. The primary purpose of the UBA is

business. Now open to all career-minded students seeking to enhance their future ministry, the UBA
helps prepare its members for service to Jesus Christ in whatever field God has called them. All
students, regardless of their degree program, are invited to join the UBA.

Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, Interdisciplinary Studies

Interdisciplinary Studies allows students to customize an individualized program

H. Doug Garland, EdD to answer significant questions or to prepare for a specific career or for graduate
Program Coordinator school. Students combine perspectives from multiple disciplines in BJU’s diverse
curriculum to produce a new product, thought, or solution that is more complex
than can be supported by a single discipline or profession. Possibilities are endless
for the student with vision, energy, and focus.
Students interested in Interdisciplinary Studies must enroll in IDS 101 Introduction
to Interdisciplinary Studies, submit an application, and complete at least 15
credits with a 2.75 cumulative grade point average. In the application students
identify a career goal, two or three disciplines connected to the goal, courses in
the disciplines, and a capstone experience. Upon approval by the faculty and dean,
the student signs a contract outlining the Interdisciplinary Studies components.
Students must maintain a 2.75 grade point average throughout the program. The
program requires 120 total credits.
The program is offered as both a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science
degree. If the student’s program requires one or more disciplines offered by BJU as
a Bachelor of Arts, then the Interdisciplinary Studies program must be taken as a
Bachelor of Arts.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will…
• Define a specific problem or goal requiring an interdisciplinary approach
and solution.
• Design learning experiences, including courses and projects, to address the
problem or goal.
• Articulate biblical connections to the problem or goal.
• Synthesize multiple disciplinary perspectives to solve the problem or achieve
the goal.

COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCE

DIVISION OF WORLD
LANGUAGES & CULTURES
The Division offers majors in French and Spanish, and minors in Chinese, French,
German and Spanish. Courses in the division are offered for students to fulfill the
bachelor of arts degree requirements in world language. Courses are also available
as general electives.

PURPOSE
The Division of World Languages and Cultures exists to teach students to
communicate in Chinese, French, German or Spanish and to understand better
their own and other cultures, with the ultimate purpose of using their language
skills in service to Christ and to others.
Jeremy P. Patterson, DML, PhD
Chair
GOALS
The student will …
• Communicate in the target language at an acceptable level of proficiency.
• Compare the products, practices and perspectives of the source and
target cultures.
• Articulate in the target language a biblical perspective on a variety of topics.
• Extend language use through interdisciplinary connections and immersion and
service opportunities in target language communities.

PLACEMENT TESTING
All students who enroll in a world language course for the first time, regardless of
prior language proficiency or study, must take a placement test to determine the
point at which they should begin university language study. No college credits are
awarded for testing out of language courses, but students enrolled in a language
major or minor may validate applicable courses. Upon completion of 9 credits at
the appropriate level, they may receive credit for applicable courses toward their
programs.

LANGUAGE ROOMS
BJU Language rooms are language immersion rooms. In both men’s and women’s
residence halls, students may apply to live in one of these rooms where they
will speak only the language they are learning. Outside the room, students, of
course, have the freedom to use English, but the daily practice with roommates
is a tremendous way to increase proficiency and fluency. The Division offers four
104
languages (Chinese, French, German and Spanish), and the availability of places in
different language groups depends every year on how many students apply.

STUDY ABROAD
Students of any language are encouraged to pursue independent study abroad at
other universities in the summer. Interested candidates should consult with the
language faculty about qualifying programs abroad. French and Spanish students
also have the opportunity to participate in BJU Study Abroad programs led by
faculty members in French- and Spanish-speaking countries. This experience
provides students with an opportunity to be immersed in both the language
and culture while living or interacting with families. Students take two courses
in culture and communication, visit historic sites, and participate actively in
community events and local church activities.

BIOLOGY MINOR

COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCE

The Biology minor provides a general understanding of foundational biological concepts for non-biology majors. It also
promotes analytical and critical thinking skills for a wide range of applications.
A minor in Biology consists of 19 credits including BIO 100 General Biology I (4), BIO 101 General Biology II (4), BIO
300 Evolution & Origins (3), and eight credits from Bio 203 Biological Diversity (4), BIO 208 Organismal Biology I (4),
BIO 209 Organismal Biology II (4), or BIO 305 Essentials of Cell Biology (4).

Bachelor of Science, Biology

The Biology program captures the breadth of biology while maintaining the
necessary depth of preparation for continued study in graduate and professional
schools. Students are offered five different concentrations to allow a level of
specialization appropriate for the undergraduate level. All concentrations require
students to study life at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels and to develop
the big-picture context of the interaction of organisms with each other and with
their environment. Students learn a scientific and philosophical refutation of
evolution while learning the superior strengths of biblical creation. The Cell
Biology concentration allows development of a deeper focus on the cellular
and molecular levels while the Zoo & Wildlife Biology concentration allows
development of an emphasis on selected organisms studied in a field context.
Pre-Veterinary advising is available for students who elect the Zoo & Wildlife
Biology concentration, and with careful selection of courses, can be customized to
provide excellent preparation for veterinary medicine programs. The biotechnology
core includes three concentrations: Biomedical Research, Biomechanics, and
Environmental Technologies & Resources. Each is designed to provide a cross-
disciplinary understanding of science and to develop skills needed for careers
in the life sciences sector, including corporate research and development (R&D)
and innovation. Overall, the Biology program requires 45-65 credits in the major
and supports the Division of Natural Science’s goal to train the student to solve
authentic problems in the discipline.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will …
• Critically evaluate the limitations of science, materialistic and naturalistic
philosophies, and demonstrate the superiority of the biblical worldview in
explaining origins.
• Interpret and critique experimental data and experimental designs, formulate
testable hypotheses and competently investigate hypotheses in the laboratory or
in the field.
• Compare and contrast the interrelationship between basic life processes with
special emphasis on the role of information and energy transduction.
• Apply the relationship that exists between structure and function at multiple
levels of biological organization and correctly predict the consequences of
change or failure.
• Solve inheritance problems that demonstrate an understanding of fundamental
transmission genetics.

PROGRAM EMPHASIS
Approximately half of the ministry student’s degree program is devoted directly to
the cultivation of the knowledge and skills necessary for the ministry. These courses
are designed to provide a wholesome balance between the knowledge of the Word
of God, its practical application to the personal life and its proclamation in the
world.

MINISTRY CHAPEL
Each week students majoring in the School of Religion and those interested in
ministry meet together to receive instruction and inspiration from the director of
Ministry Training and other experienced men of God. School of Religion students
register each semester for MIN 100 Ministry Chapel, which meets one day weekly
during the regular chapel time.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Several programs in the School of Religion require an internship in which the
student is placed under an experienced fundamental pastor, missionary or
organization to receive practical experience in evangelism, discipleship, worship,
teaching, preaching and/or leadership in the local church or in mission work.

BIBLE READING
The School of Religion requires majors to read through the entire Bible in a year,
and they do this three years in a row (in a four-year program). The reading cycle is
the calendar year (January–December), so a student who enrolls as a freshman in
September begins the program the following January. Thus, a senior completes his
or her third cycle in the middle of his or her senior year.

OUTREACH MINISTRIES
Throughout the week and on weekends, outreach opportunities provide for the
development of student leadership and experience in various types of church-
based ministries, such as sports ministry, after-school public school programs, jail
services, retirement home ministries, youth work and child evangelism. Students
may secure information regarding outreach in the Greenville area through the
Center for Global Opportunities.

SUMMER MINISTRY REPORT

In addition to the requirements set forth in the Undergraduate Catalog, the
School of Religion requires a Summer Ministry Report for all undergraduate
students enrolled in the program. The Summer Ministry Report includes summer
ministry activities and is to be submitted each August. No grade/credit is given for
this report.

MISSION TEAMS
Each year students have the opportunity to minister in other regions of the world
by participating in one of BJU’s mission teams organized through the Center for
Global Opportunities. Students prepare throughout the year and raise their own
financial support. Using trade skills, sports, music and preaching/teaching, teams
go to various countries spanning the globe to reach the lost with the Gospel and to
 233
challenge the team members to consider their lifelong level of involvement in the
Great Commission. Each fall one chapel service is set aside for the promotion of
summer mission teams.

CHURCH PLANTING OUTREACH

Ministry graduates are strongly encouraged to consider planting a fundamental
church in a needy area. The Center for Global Opportunities Church Planting
Coordinator can advise prospective church planters regarding needy areas for
church planting as well as point them to mission boards and resources to assist in
church planting.

CHURCH STAFFING SERVICES

Bob Jones University operates a church staffing service that both pastors and
churches can utilize for the purpose of streamlining the process of connecting
churches with likeminded servants of the Lord.

PARTNERS IN PLANTING
Bob Jones University strongly encourages all our graduates to be local church
oriented and challenges students to consider partnering with new church plants or
small churches needing help. The Center for Global Opportunities assists students
in finding these churches.

DIVISION OF BIBLICAL
STUDIES & THEOLOGY
The Division of Biblical Studies and Theology of the School of Religion offers an
Undergraduate Certificate in Apologetics and Biblical Worldview and a Bachelor
of Arts degree with a major in Biblical Studies and minors in Biblical Studies
and Greek. Courses offered in this department include the general area of Bible,
including English Bible interpretation, Bible doctrine and Bible history and
are for students to fulfill the general degree requirements in Bible. Courses are
also available as general electives and for general degree requirements in world
language.
Concentrations are offered for the bachelor program in the Division of Biblical
Studies and Theology. Concentrations are optional and include Apologetics and
Biblical Worldview, Biblical Counseling, Biblical Languages, Cross-Cultural Service,
Pastoral Ministry, Women’s Ministry, Worship Leadership and Youth Ministry.
Daniel P. Olinger, PhD
Chair The Greek courses numbered on the 100–200 levels are basic courses designed to
equip the student for further study. They may not be taken simultaneously with
any other Greek courses. Students who do not have adequate preparation in English
grammar should defer starting Greek until this weakness has been remedied. The
courses numbered 300 and 400 do not necessarily represent a difference in degree
of difficulty and, therefore, need not be taken in any certain order. A student who
registers to take two upper division Greek courses simultaneously must have a
previous average of C in Greek. No proficiency credit will be given in ancient
languages.

PURPOSE
The Division of Biblical Studies and Theology supports the University’s mission
to grow Christlike character by providing students with an understanding of and
appreciation for the teachings of Scripture. The division provides students preparing
for various types of vocational Christian ministry with the necessary knowledge and
skills in Bible interpretation and also enables students preparing for other vocations
to develop a biblical worldview that will inform and direct their service for Christ.

GOALS
The student will …
• Explain the major themes and specific content of the Bible.
• Use the grammatico-historical method to interpret the Bible accurately.
• Value the person of Christ with his or her personal devotion.
• Explain and defend the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.
• Make choices that are informed by and consistent with biblical teachings.

track provides the traditional ministry training program with an accelerated
graduate-level track for those seeking to complete both degrees in a reduced time
for earlier entrance into the ministry as pastors, teachers, counselors, missionaries
or evangelists. The unique characteristics of the dual enrollment track allow
241
students to finish two degrees within six years as opposed to seven to nine years
and for less cost. By meeting the requirements for the BA in Biblical Studies and
the Master of Divinity, students gain the benefits of both degrees including courses
in liberal arts, biblical content, theology, church history, biblical languages and
ministry skills.
Students who meet the eligibility requirements may apply for this program during
their first year and receive guidance about prescribed course sequence for dual
enrollment. All students will complete a minimum of 120 credits for the Bachelor
of Arts degree, with 88 credits for the Master of Divinity degree. Depending on
the chosen concentration, students will receive dual credits for 10 to 12 courses,
thereby reducing both the undergraduate credit load by 30 to 36 hours and the time
to complete the master’s degree. Courses for this dual enrollment track are available
both in residence during the academic year and/or online via distance education.
The dual enrollment track supports the goals of the School of Religion and the

Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators—Required of all students seeking
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION

teacher candidacy as a teacher education major. The Praxis Core measures basic
skills in reading, writing and mathematics, and includes multiple-choice questions
and an essay question on the writing test. The tests are designed to evaluate the
student’s academic skills needed to prepare for a career in education. All three
tests (writing, reading and mathematics) must be taken and passed. A student who
fails one or more tests is required to retake only the test that was not passed. Expenses
associated with the Praxis Series are the responsibility of the student. For more
information visit www.ets.org/praxis.
350

Praxis II Subject Assessments—Required of all students completing a degree

in teacher education. The Praxis II Subject Assessments measure knowledge of
specific subjects that PK–12 educators will teach, as well as general and subject-
specific teaching skills and knowledge. Students must attempt the Praxis II Subject
Assessments and the Principles of Learning and Teaching tests before enrolling in
Clinical Practice. The attempted scores must be reported to the School of Education
by August 1 for those enrolling for Clinical Practice in the fall and by December 15
for those enrolling for Clinical Practice in the spring. Praxis II scores are used by
the State Department of Education to determine a student’s eligibility for licensure
in South Carolina. Both the Subject Assessments and the Principles of Learning and
Teaching tests must be taken and passed for licensure recommendation. Expenses
associated with the Praxis Series are the responsibility of the student. For more
information visit www.ets.org/praxis.

PRE–CLINICAL PRACTICE
Throughout their four years of college, students majoring in education will be
expected to build experiences with the age level of students they intend to teach
by participating in activities outside the college classroom. Before the semester in
which Clinical Practice is scheduled, the teacher candidate must accumulate at least
100 hours of practical experiences in a supervised school setting.

CLINICAL PRACTICE
There are five leveled benchmarks from the freshman year through graduation in
the Division of Teacher Education. (See the requirements for admission that are
printed in the Field Experiences Handbook.)
The year prior to Clinical Practice, students will submit an application to do Clinical
Practice during fall or sproing semester of the following year. The application must
be submitted at least one academic year in advance of the semester intended for
Clinical Practice.
Students should not plan to take any coursework during the semester of clinical
practice experience other than what is required in their program.
In preparation for this experience, students should be aware that they will need to
supply their own transportation to the school to which they are assigned. Students are
discouraged from assuming on-campus responsibilities the semester they are doing
their clinical practice, i.e., recitals or exhibitions; society offices; music or speech
ensembles; or performance in plays, operas or student productions.

PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION LICENSURE/NON-LICENSURE TRACKS

General Policies—Students should satisfy all requirements for admission to the
professional education program by the time they achieve junior status. Students will
not be permitted to register for their junior-level practicum until admission has been
granted. A student who fails to do so will be asked to change his or her major to a
non-teacher education program.
It is the student’s responsibility to submit an application for South Carolina licensure since
no credentials are issued automatically. Students should be aware that the approved
teacher education programs at Bob Jones University meet the licensure requirements
only for the state of South Carolina. Receiving a teaching license in an approved
 351

program through South Carolina may allow one to receive reciprocal licensure in
other states. However, each state has its own qualifiers for licensure; therefore, for
specific licensure requirements, teacher candidates need to contact the Department
of Education in the state in which they wish to apply for licensure. Each graduate must
take the initiative to make arrangements for renewing his or her license upon expiration.
Professional Education Program—Bob Jones University’s undergraduate teacher
preparation programs have been developed to meet South Carolina teacher
licensure requirements. Students completing degree requirements and meeting
certain other specified criteria are eligible for licensure in the following areas:
Composite Social Studies 9–12
Early Childhood PK–3
Elementary 2–6
English 9–12
Mathematics 9–12
Middle School (Language Arts/Mathematics/
Science/Social Studies) 5–8
Music (Choral/Instrumental) PK–12
Science (Biology/Composite) 9–12
Spanish PK–12
Special Education PK–12

NON–LICENSURE TRACK
Students enrolled in the Division of Teacher Education may choose not to seek a
South Carolina educator license. These students, however, will still be required
to meet requirements established by the Division of Teacher Education. Students
pursing the non-licensure track will complete their junior and senior field
experiences in a local private school.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION

The University Educators Association (UEA) is an integral part of the School
of Education. The programs and activities are correlated very closely with the
emphasis of the individual classes. This organization provides opportunities for all
education students to secure leadership training and many professional contacts.
Each of the professional education departments appoints representatives to serve as
officers, and departmental meetings are part of the UEA programming. All students in
the School of Education are urged to become members of UEA.

traditional classroom settings. The program prepares students to work with
children, youth, and adults in a variety of settings ranging from ministry,
community-based, and other types of nonprofit organizations to preschools, para-
educational, businesses, and government-related agencies. Coursework consists
of a 24-credit educational core connected to an 18 to 21 credit interdisciplinary
concentration of the student’s choosing. The concentrations include: Arts
Integration, Social Services, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
(TESOL). Students gain and document real-world experience as they complete a
60-hour service learning experience and a 120-hour final capstone experience in a
program/organization related to their interdisciplinary concentration. Educational
Studies supports the mission and goals of the School of Education in that students
are prepared to use content knowledge and pedagogical skills to positively impact
student learning and community outcomes. This degree does not lead to teacher
licensure.

social-service related practices.
• Use professional literature and theory to identify and describe evidence-
informed practices.

DIVISION OF ACCOUNTING
The Division offers a major in Accounting, which includes courses for students
desiring to prepare for a career in the ministry of public, corporate and
governmental and not-for-profit accounting.

PURPOSE
The Division of Accounting exists to teach Christian students that God measures,
evaluates and rewards in every facet of life. The Division provides instruction in
all aspects of accounting to help students give a proper professional and spiritual
reckoning to God.

GOALS Jeffery A. Bryson, MBA

The student will … Chair
• Identify financial principles and techniques in a variety of business, ministry and
personal settings.
• Apply critical analysis when approaching business situations, effectively employ
teamwork and use appropriate communication skills.
• Make decisions from an ethical perspective based on biblical principles.

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
404

Bachelor of Science, Accounting

Jeffery A. Bryson, MBA The Accounting major provides preparation for the accounting profession. The
Program Coordinator degree integrates biblical, business and liberal arts principles with principles
of financial accounting, managerial accounting, auditing, taxation, accounting
systems, and business ethics and regulations to prepare students for the wide
variety of opportunities available to accounting professionals.
The accounting internship program offers college credit for on–the–job training
and is available at corporations and accounting firms for qualified majors. The
internship program is competitive and limited; generally, a student must maintain
a minimum GPA of 3.0 to be eligible for a for-credit accounting internship. The
credits awarded for the accounting internship can apply to a 3-credit accounting
elective and a 3-credit business elective.
The faculty of the Division of Accounting strongly encourages each student to
become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), which is essentially a three-step
process. First, a candidate must take and pass the Uniform CPA Examination. A
South Carolina candidate may apply to take the exam after completing at least 120
credits, including specific required courses. Students who follow the suggested
schedule should be able to study for and take several sections of the CPA exam in
the final semester of the program.
The second step in becoming a CPA is to complete at least 150 credits of college–
level courses including specific required courses. The student may complete this
requirement through earning a bachelor’s degree with additional courses or by
earning a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in accounting. Each state has slightly
different rules for the required credits that comprise the 150-credit total. South
Carolina’s rules—typical of rules in the other states—require CPA candidates to
complete 36 credits in accounting and 30 credits in other business courses.
The third step in becoming a CPA involves on–the–job training under the
supervision of a CPA. All states require at least one year of experience, and some
states require as much as two years of experience. Obviously, students will obtain
most of their experience after graduation.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will …
• Analyze financial principles and techniques using basic data, accumulated
knowledge, and innovative insights from a variety of disciplines.
• Create solutions to business problems while working in a team composed of
individuals with a variety of roles and different levels of commitment.
• Communicate with appropriate delivery— in both spoken and written form—
the scope and results of work completed.
• Acquire skills necessary to use technology tools effectively and efficiently (and
apply those skills) to develop the other learning outcomes.
• Effectively lead in appropriate circumstances, recognizing the need for a variety
of leadership styles.
• Demonstrate ethical behavior (integrity, objectivity) in business settings based
on a biblical worldview.
