Student Resource Guide

5.6. Requirements for Graduation

All requirements for graduation are achieved once a student completes the following:

 

·         Received passing grades in all four years of course work

·         Submitted all paperwork required

·         Completed a mission, discipleship, or discovery trip

·         Completed all special and service projects assigned

·         Submitted a satisfactory dissertation

·         Received a positive pastoral evaluation

·         Made request for graduation

 

Graduation is recognized by the pastoral staff of Heartland Baptist Fellowship not because the certificate qualifies anyone for ministry, but because that student’s ministry and diligence has qualified him/her for the certificate. 

 

Candidates will be graduated only if they hold to the system of truth as found in the Bible and set forth by the pastors of Heartland Baptist Fellowship

 

Transcripts will be updated at the end of each semester.  After graduation and upon written request by the student, a copy of the final transcript can be sent to a person or place designated by the student.  Transcripts are issued in their entirety; no partial transcripts will be issued and will not be released if the student has failed to pay any part of applicable fees.

 

A meeting will be scheduled in March for all students meeting requirements for

graduation at that time.  Information about graduation, standings on criteria still

needed for graduation, voting for Service Award recipient, and miscellaneous

details are discussed at this meeting.  It is required for all graduates. 

Notification will be sent by mail when a date is set.
