In view of the fact that you are not requested to sign our Christian Commitment of standards, we respectfully ask that you would refrain from any behavior that is in violation of our commitment while on campus. Grace College believes that: The Bible is the fully inspired Word of God, and its teachings are the final authority in matters of faith and life. Jesus Christ should be the foundation and center of every individual s life. As a life can never be complete without fulfillment in Christ Jesus and His Word, neither is knowledge complete except as it relates to God s eternal values. An important aspect of student life at Grace College is corporate worship and fellowship. Therefore, regular attendance at chapel and Sunday services (in an evangelical church) is required of all full-time students. As part of Grace College s commitment to a distinctive lifestyle and experience, students are to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, tobacco, sexual misconduct, gambling, cheating, theft, coarse or obscene language, or any other conduct inconsistent with the goals and traditions of the college. Further, Grace College students are to abstain from morally degrading media and literature. It should be understood that any behavior which indicates that an enrolled student has little regard for living a life honoring to God, or whose conduct evidences a spirit of disregard for the college standards, will be sufficient reason for disciplinary action or dismissal. If you desire further details concerning these standards, please contact the Student Affairs Office. We ask that you sign in the space provided, acknowledging that you have read the above Commitment and that you will refrain from any prohibited behavior while on campus. Signature Date Note: Admission as a College Launch student does not mean acceptance into a program or degree, nor does it imply the individual will be accepted as a full-time student. A full application must be made and acceptance granted prior to an individual entering a specific program or a degree. Course(s) taken as a College Launch student may apply toward a program or degree if the student is officially accepted at a later date.
