Student Lifestyle, Dress, and Honor

STUDENT DRESS CODE

While students are attending class, at all times the student should try to dress in a way that would be both pleasing and uplifting to the Lord and the college program. Male students are not required to wear suits or ties to class and female students are not required to always wear dresses. However, shorts, tank tops, and jeans that are cut off or full of holes are not acceptable. Remember to be the reflection of Him who has called us to His service.

STUDENT LIFESTYLE

Practices which are known to be morally wrong by Biblical teachings are not acceptable for members of the Providence Bible College and Theological Seminary community. Included are specifics such as drunkenness, stealing, the use of slanderous or profane language, cheating, dishonesty, occult practices, and sexual sins such as premarital sex, adultery, and homosexual behavior.

The college also recognizes that, while the Scriptures do not provide specific teaching regarding all social practices, they do advocate self-restraint in that which is harmful or is offensive to others. Consequently, the college has chosen to adopt certain rules which will contribute to an environment which is appropriate to its objectives and goals and requires students to refrain from gambling, the purchase or carrying of a firearm, the purchase or use of, or possession of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and illegal drugs, while on the campus premises.

The above applies to all Providence Bible College and Theological Seminary students. The college reserves the right to establish additional policies and regulations as needed and to interpret existing policies and regulations.

CODE OF HONOR

Providence Bible College and Theological Seminary observes the Honor system in taking examinations and writing research papers. No monitor is needed in the classroom during test or examination periods. Although the Honor system applies specifically to the academic area, it is understood that the spirit of the system should pervade all aspects of campus life.

Under this Code, it is assumed and expected that a student conducts him or herself at all times in accordance with the scriptures and lives his or her life accountable to God, first of all, and then to fellow students. In this way, an atmosphere of trust and respect is created that glorifies God and assures an openness in the college community.

Students at our school are obligated to be concerned for the conduct of their peers in accordance with Luke 17:3 "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him."

Any student who may be accused of violating the Honor Code will be dealt with according to the Student Discipline Procedure which follows the Biblical teaching found in Matthew 18:15-17, "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established be the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church, and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or tax collector."
