Page 66 - THBI Student Handbook - 2020

Why? Because instead of merely answering predetermined questions, the student must start with a
position of faith and not just support that position, but do so in agreement with the spirit and intent of
God’s purposes, plans and priorities as they are clearly made known in the Bible - - and to do so with the
result being that the reader of the student’s paper is benefitted by what is said in that paper.

General Assignments
Required papers are mandatory and must be completed in order for a student to complete and graduate
the Degree Study Program in which he/she is enrolled. Required writing assignments and papers are
non-optional and failure to complete assignment or paper will result in the student’s failing the entire
Degree Study Program.

➔ ALL WRITING ASSIGNMENTS ARE ASSESSED AS EITHER PASS OR FAIL.
Grades and/or credit values are not awarded for writing assignments.

GRADUATE PAPERS
Failure to complete a dissertation or thesis, or to receive a passing review on a thesis or dissertation will
result in the student failing his/her degree program with no refund or other favorable consideration
granted to the “failed student”.
➢ Second Submission Opportunities - - In the event that a student does not receive a favorable or
passing review on a thesis or dissertation, he or she may be given an opportunity to recover from the
failure based on the following conditions:
o The student has historically engaged the services of his/her LSC throughout his/her study
courses for exam reviews;
o The student has historically engaged the advisory services of his/her LSC in preparing prior
writing assignments;
o The student has engaged the advisory services of his/her LSC in the development of the current
writing assignment “at issue";
o The student conducts positive interaction with his/her LSC; or with THBI leadership should
they become involved.

NOTE: THBI is not obligated to provide any “Second Submission Opportunity” and any offer
to provide a “Second Submission Opportunity” is solely at the discretion of THBI.
That being stated, the leadership and associates of THBI, as well as the Directors of
True Hope Ministries of America (of which the Bible college is an integrate
component)
truly desire for every student to successfully complete his/her Degree Study Program
earning their degree. Historically, we have chosen to work with any student who
displays a teachable spirit, has a cooperative attitude and who shows a desire to be
successful (rather than to prove how much they already know or how successful they
already are).
