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 borther 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."
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism, a deliberate attempt to claim
ideas or writings which belong to another as one's own, is a serious
offense against the academic community. Plagiarism is not
justifiable by paraphrase or even by extensive rewriting of someone
else's work. Wherever an idea is borrowed, the student must give
credit and, in a formal paper, cite the source.
A student who submits to his.her instructor in fulfillment of
course requirements a paper which is substantially plagiarized shall
be assigned a grade of "F" for the course, and the instructor will
submit evidence to the Academic Dean. The Dean shall notify the
student that the "F" grade has been entered for the course.
In instances of plagiarism of less gravity, such as a single
passage within a paper, the instructor will use discretion as to the
nature of the penalty.
