II. 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:
A. Favorable General History - - The student has historically engaged the services of his/her LSC
throughout his/her study courses for exam reviews;
1. The student has historically engaged the advisory services of his/her LSC in preparing prior
writing assignments;
B. Favorable Final Paper History - - The student has engaged the advisory services of his/her LSC
in the development of the current writing assignment “at issue";
C. Continued Cooperation - - The student conducts positive interaction with his/her LSC; or with
THBI leadership should they become involved.
1. The student remains objective and non-personal concerning the criticisms, suggestions advice
or counsel about needed corrections, adjustments or revisions.
2. The student is responsive to communications initiated by the LSC or other THBI
representatives concerning the failed paper.
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).

I. COURSE EXAM FAILURE - - All course exams must score a minimum of 70% correct answers for a
passing grade.
Failure to score a minimum of 70% correct answers on a course exam shall result in a “Failed Exam”.

A. FAILURE RECOVERY OPPORTUNITY: Students who fail a course exam MAY be given one
attempt to recover from the failure with an “Exam Re-take”.

1. ELIGIBILITY - - THREE (3) ELEMENTS:
a) Verification: Only students must verify following correct study procedures according to
THBI guidelines (in Student Handbook) and correctly followed the Course
Instructions are eligible for a Failure Recovery Opportunity.
b) LSC Service: Students must agree to and cooperate with LSC review of the failed course work.

c) LSC Advisory: Student must follow/cooperate with any and all advice for remediating
studies pertaining to the failed course
2. REQUEST - - Student must submit to the THBI Office (NOT THE LSC) a written request
for a “Failure Recovery Exam”.
a) TIME LIMIT: Student Must submit request within ten (10) days after being notified of
an Exam Failure.
