The “Administrative Procedures” apply to all THBI study programs.

I. STUDY COURSE DELIVERY: After you have been accepted as a student, we begin sending you
the course material for the degree program you have chosen.
A. Initial Course Delivery: A student’s first required course of their degree program is shipped after
receiving and approving your completed enrollment materials.
1. All enrollment forms must be complete with all questions answered and all requested
information provided.
2. Entrance Exams are graded to verify your present knowledge level qualifies you to enroll in
the Degree Study Program being applied for.
3. Tuition requirements must be satisfied.
4. All compliance pledge forms must be signed and submitted along with the Enrollment
Package.
B. Study Course Progression: Upon satisfactory completion of each course, a new course is sent
to the student for study and completion.
1. Course Grades: Each Course you receive requires that you complete and submit to us a
“Course Exam” for grading and each course exam must receive a minimum score of 70%
correct answers for a passing grade.
2. Courses are sent in the following order:
a. Required Courses are sent first;
b. After all Required Courses are successfully completed, the student’s chosen Elective
Courses are then begun to be sent, following the same routine as required courses.
c. For BOTH Required and Elective Courses: The individual courses of a “Course Module”
will be sent in sequential order until that “Course Module” is completed. One “Course
Module” must be completed prior to another being started.
3. Course Writing Assignments - - Each degree level study program includes various writing
assignments at specified intervals of the Degree Study Program.
a. When assigned, each “Student Paper” must be completed according to the assignment
schedule which coincides with certain points of curriculum completion.
b. Student Papers must be submitted within the assigned timeframe prior to further courses
being sent to the student for continuation of his/her study courses.
c. Student Papers are graded on a “Pass or Fail” basis. Certain papers must receive a passing
evaluation, these include “Final Term Papers”, the “Master’s Thesis” and the “Doctoral
Dissertation”.

Study Course Completion: This plan is followed until you have passed all course exams and have
successfully completed all course work required for your chosen degree program.

Graduate Papers, either the “Master’s Thesis” or the “Doctoral Dissertation”, are required to successfully
complete the respective Graduate Degree Program. These papers are to be submitted after the final
Course Exam is completed. While final preparation of the Graduate Paper should not be undertaken until
all course exams have been successfully completed, preliminary development of the paper is permitted
prior to final course exams.
