A student may choose to grieve a grade or disciplinary action taken against them by the faculty of the Seminary, except in the case of drugs, alcohol, threatening or assaultive behavior.

The following will be the procedure that must be followed for all grievances:

The student will be expected to meet with the particular faculty member they have an issue with first, to attempt to resolve the issue. If this meeting fails to provide closure to the incident, they must then make an appointment with the Registrar and the staff member.      

If this fails to resolve the issue, an immediate appointment request to the President must be made in writing by the student outlining the original problem and why the student feels the issue has not been satisfactorily resolved.

An appointment will then be made with the President, Registrar, faculty member and the student, and any other parties involved.

A decision may be delayed for up to three business days to give time for prayerful consideration and reflection. The student will be notified of the final determination both in person and in writing. A copy of the determination shall be placed in the student's permanent file.

All decisions made at this level are final and there shall be no further recourse. If the issue involves dismissal and determination is made for such, termination will be immediate and no refunds of tuitions will be made.

If at any time during the grievance process the student becomes assaultive, argumenative or intimidating in any manner, all communication will be terminated and the student immediately dismissed. This decision will be final and no further grievance will be allowed by the student. This type of behavior will not allow for reentry in the further.
