A MESSAGE FROM

THE PRESIDENT

The mission of Atlantic Baptist University is to transform lives through

“quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith.” To fulfill this mission ABU offers degrees in Arts, Science, Business, and Education with a focus on student-centered learning and holistic growth. Students at ABU are challenged intellectually, spiritually, and socially in preparation for future positions of influence and leadership where as professionals they will serve humanity as they help build the Kingdom of God. A supportive community of Christian scholars is vital to ABU’s mission,

professors who model academic integrity and who integrate faith and learning in the classroom. The majority hold earned doctorates in their field of expertise. Availability to students beyond the classroom also distinguishes the faculty at ABU. As a Christian university Atlantic Baptist University emphasises traditional

values, dynamic fellowship, and Christ-centered worship. High standards encourage excellence in every area of university life - chapel services, athletic competitions, student government, residence life, day-to-day peer interaction, and relationships between students and faculty. Within this caring community everyone has freedom to grow in knowledge, wisdom, and grace.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Atlantic Baptist University General Information 11

GENERAL INFORMATION

History

In the late 1940s, the United Baptist Convention became concerned about the young people who were leaving Atlantic Canada for a Bible College education. In spite of the fact that the denomination had a University in Wolfville, N.S., there was an area of Christian education which was not being covered. In 1949, the United Baptist Bible Training School was founded in Moncton as both a Bible College and a High School. For the next two decades, young people came from all over Atlantic Canada to study in a Christian context and to live in a Christian community. Academic excellence very quickly became a hallmark of the new school and

many people gave sacrificially to expand the facilities and the programs. Dr. Myron Brinton left a successful pastorate to guide the fledgling institution for most of its first decade. His sense of family and Christian commitment set the stage for much of its tradition. By 1968, the School was in transition as the emphasis changed to a post high

school program. It became a Bible College and a Christian Junior Liberal Arts College. In 1970 the name was changed to Atlantic Baptist College to reflect the new programs. Throughout this period, the President, Dr. Stuart E. Murray, sought to build a strong faculty and to provide a broadened selection of courses. This set the scene for offering Bachelor of Arts degrees in the early 1980s. In 1996, the Act of the Legislature was amended to change the name to

Atlantic Baptist University. This was done to reflect the continued growth and development of the University as evidenced by the granting of degrees in a variety of disciplines. Atlantic Baptist University has become known for its academic excellence and

the integrity of its graduates. With the increasing number of degree programs and the abilities of its faculty members, the reputation of the University continues to grow.

12 General Information Atlantic Baptist University

Mission Statement

At Atlantic Baptist University, our mission is to transform lives through:

Quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith. This mission is accomplished through: 1. The teaching of the liberal arts, sciences and professional studies that includes:

a) A student-centered approach that focuses on learning rather than delivery of information only;

b) A commitment to holistic growth of the person: spiritual, intellectual, personal/social and physical well-being;

c) The teamwork of outstanding and dedicated staff, faculty, administrators and Board members;

d) The development of a unified and caring community wherein participants are sensitive to the needs of each other, encourage each other in character formation, leadership skills and the integration of faith and learning whereby they are prepared for future positions of influence and leadership in the service of God’s Kingdom;

e) Openness to persons of every race, colour, gender and creed who choose to become part of the community of Atlantic Baptist University.

2. Research by faculty that includes but is not limited to: a) Expansion of knowledge within the scholar’s discipline; b) A standard of excellence that affirms the University’s commitment to academic integrity;

c) Advancing the integration of faith and learning through scholarship and publication that evaluate theories/conclusions in light of a Christian worldview.

This mission is the driving force behind everything at ABU. Recognizing the

Lordship of Jesus Christ over all creation, the university operates with an overarching commitment to students, the church, and to community. As a private university, ABU is committed to the wise use of the human, financial, and physical resources that God entrusts through the churches of the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches plus a


variety of corporate, church, and individual partners supportive of higher education within a Christian context.

Philosophy of Education

The purpose of a liberal arts education is to expose students to the range of human experience, to introduce them thoroughly to a given major and to teach each one to think and write creatively, clearly and critically. For this to happen there must be a point of view, a defined position from which to view and compare life. The worldview at Atlantic Baptist University is Christian. While there is considerable diversity of opinion among both the faculty and student body regarding various theological emphases, all are united in the conviction that life, to be seen clearly and holistically, must be viewed in the light of God's saving action in an individuals’s life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This foundation provides a significant alternative to university education based upon secular and materialistic faiths. This is not to suggest that students will be allowed to coast through their educational

experience by offering plattitudes about faith. The philosophy of education at Atlantic Baptist University is that the only adequate response to Christ is a life of sacrificial commitment to His service and praise whereby individuals strive for excellence. This must include diligence in academic work. Students are challenged to realize their potential academically in order to be good stewards of the intellect God has given them. Whether in wrestling with concepts in Anthropology, writing a term paper for English Literature, learning the principles of strategic planning, or studying for a Science exam, students are encouraged to give their best as praise to God. Students are also challenged to integrate their learning into a holistic understanding

of life as part of preparation for service to the world for which Christ died. Knowledge cannot exist in isolation from experience. In this process of integration, the faculty play a crucial role in the lives of students as they seek to point the way insofar as they have understood it. The faculty challenge students to understand and accept responsibility for their own worldview, professing the Lordship of Christ over all knowledge and activity. Educational philosophy finds its expression in curriculum. In this regard, Atlantic

Baptist University has instituted a core of required courses which are crucial to the task of coming to terms with one's worldview. As well, students must select courses from a number of areas with the aim of exposing them to a variety of disciplines and the insights therein. Finally, all students at Atlantic Baptist University must take a minor in Religious Studies. This knowledge of the Biblical witness to God's activity in the world is crucial to shaping a Christian worldview as well as preparing for a life that honours God. To help emphasize the importance of this focus from the outset of their studies, every first-time student at Atlantic Baptist University is required to register in at least one required


Religious Studies course within each of their first two semesters for at least the first two weeks of each semester. University graduates investing their lives in a wide range of activities for the good of

society and the glory of God.

Christian Lifestyle

Students at Atlantic Baptist University join a community where a desire to know and be known by God translates into a life of spiritual devotion and service. Expressions of such include chapel attendance, participation in a local church, volunteering with a church or community service program, accepting responsibility for personal behavior, and seeking to develop relationships of integrity. The goal is to bring honour to Jesus Christ in everything. Guidance in the definition of this inviting community and in behaviour

consistent with the Christian mission and values of the University is provided by the department of Student Development. Opportunities for growth in understanding the Christian life as well as in areas of personal development are available through the services of this department. For example, students may join a small Bible study, prayer group, or a missions interest group. In these and other ways the campus community becomes known as one that fosters develpomental experiences while expressing the love of Christ in everything. Students need not be Christian to attend Atlantic Baptist University, but they

must be willing to accept the obligations which are part of being a member of this community, obligations which are academic, social, and personal. Whether on campus or off, all students are expected to conduct themselves as is becoming to Christian adults and the University of which they have chosen to be a part.

Faculty

Atlantic Baptist University full-time faculty are well equipped to teach in their chosen fields. The addition of qualified adjunct and part-time faculty contributes to a community in which diversity of background is balanced by a common purpose. All the faculty are involved in their local churches and in various civic

organizations. This belies the "ivory tower" image of university professors. They are also active in their professional fields where they demonstrate a continuing concern for growth in their given disciplines through memberships and service.


Faculty affirm the mission of the University by intentionally integrating their Christian worldview in the teaching of their various disciplines. In addition, whether for academic advisement or a sympathetic ear for a personal problem, faculty seek to make themselves available to students on an individual basis. Either inside or outside the classroom, faculty seek to affirm the worth of students as created and loved by God.

George A. Rawlyk Library

The library is in many respects the intellectual and academic centre of every university campus. The George A. Rawlyk Library of Atlantic Baptist University, named in honour of the late Dr. George A. Rawlyk, History Professor of Queen’s University, is no exception. Dr. Rawylyk was a friend and contributor to Atlantic Baptist University, donating much of his personal library. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the available services and resources as part of their academic experience at Atlantic Baptist University.

Governance

Atlantic Baptist University was founded by the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches which continues to support the University and to elect and ratify appointments to its Board of Governors. The University is responsible to provide to its constituency quality education for Christian leaders of tomorrow. Atlantic Baptist University, as a corporation, is controlled by a Board of

Governors elected annually from among the supporters of the University. The Senate of Atlantic Baptist University determines all academic standards and is comprised of the President of Atlantic Baptist University, the Vice-President for Academic Afairs, members of faculty, the Librarian, plus representatives of the student body, the alumni, the Board of Governors, and the Convention.

Accreditation

In Canada there is no formal organization that accredits universities and colleges, but the concept of accreditation is practiced. It is based on the acceptance of postsecondary studies by Canadian Universities and Colleges, where the work completed meets criteria of faculty competence, standards of instruction, and standards of student achievement practiced by the major universities in Canada. Based on these standards, Atlantic Baptist University graduates consistently achieve a high level.


In 1983, the New Brunswick Legislature passed a charter granting Atlantic Baptist University the right to offer baccalaureate degrees. In addition to its own individual standards, Atlantic Baptist University has increased its effort to University Act was revised in the New Brunswick Legislature to reflect the growing maturity of the University, thus expanding the potential of the University to offer degrees beyond the baccalaureate level. Atlantic Baptist University is an affiliate member of The Council of Christian

Colleges and Universities, an association of approximately 175 Christ-centered colleges and universities of the liberal arts and sciences with member schools in 26 countries around the world. The Council is committed to cultivating communities of educational excellence in which the Lordship of Jesus Christ is central. Member colleges are committed to maintaining the highest academic standards

in an environment which fosters spiritual growth. Over thirty denominations are represented in the Council, enriching the common fellowship with diversity. Working together, Council member colleges and universities accomplish things they could not do alone. (See the “Programs of Study” section which outlines the academic opportunities available to students at ABU through CCCU.)

Educational Outcomes

Atlantic Baptist University desires to:

• prepare students to contribute to the Church's mission, whether through individual or corporate action in their various professions, in further study or research, in family or community life or to whatever field of endeavor God may call;

• assist students to develop, to their fullest potential, the capacities of analysis, synthesis, problem-solving, research and communication;

• ensure that students understand the basic forms of human knowledge and the variety of possible approaches to acquiring and using that knowledge;

• prepare students for graduate study, advanced undergraduate study, lifelong learning and leadership;

• ensure that students have developed a spiritual maturity encompassing all areas of life and are able to contribute to the building up of the church.


Statement of Faith

1. God: There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the Godhead these three persons are equal and united in essence and perfection. They execute distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. a) God is Father to all people in the general sense of Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He has fatherly compassion for all humanity. God is Father, in a personal sense, to all who profess faith in His only begotten and unique Son Jesus Christ. b) Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh; we affirm His virgin birth, sinless humanity, divine miracles, vicarious death once for all time, bodily resurrection and ascension, mediatorial work before the Father and the blessed hope of His personal return in power and glory. c) The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead who proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit convicts humanity of sin, righteousness and God’s judgement, calls people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, indwells and enables the believer to live a holy life, and empowers the believer to witness and to work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

2. The Scriptures: The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments have their authority from God alone, and are given to us by divine inspiration. They are the only perfect, supreme, infallible and sufficient standard for all matters of faith and conduct. They have been carefully preserved by the providence of God through the work of faithful believers.

3. Humanity: Humanity was created sinless. By the disobedience of the first man and woman sin entered the human race. Through this disobedience all humanity is born sinful, under the curse of condemnation and death, in need of repentance and forgiveness.

4. Salvation: The salvation of lost and sinful humanity is possible only through the merits of Jesus Christ and His substitutionary death on our behalf. Salvation must be received through repentance and faith apart from works. It is characterized by regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

5. The Church: The Church consists of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible also identifies the local Church as an assembly of baptized believers organized for worship, discipleship, outreach and service to others for God.


6. Resurrection and Judgement: There will be a general resurrection of the bodies of the just and the unjust. God will judge all humanity. Those who are saved will live eternally in God’s presence. Those who are lost in sin will receive eternal condemnation.

A student must have their original letter of acceptance from Atlantic Baptist University (obtained once full tuition is received for first year of study), as well as proof of sufficient funds for all tuition and accommodations (bank statement, money order, etc.) Each student will also need formal proof of his/her American citizenship (passport or birth certificate, and driver’s license with photo ID).


Immigration Requirements For Students From Other Countries:

Students who wish to study in Canada must attend to a number of important matters before leaving their countries of origin. Since these preparations often take a considerable period of time, students should begin the process well in advance of their planned enrollment date. International students should contact the Canadian Embassy Consulate or High Commission in their own countries to apply for a student visa, which is necessary to enter Canada as a student. Immigration officials require presentation of both a student visa and student authorization form. These documents are obtainable by proof of official acceptance to Atlantic Baptist University and evidence of sufficient funds to live and study in Canada, including return transportation. International students should also be aware that they are expected to comply with the standard Canadian Health Code regulations as they pertain to inoculations, etc. If the necessary inoculations have not been received prior to arrival in Canada, they must be acquired within the first week of the student's University residency. Any cost incurred in this area will be charged to the student's account. Medical insurance, to be purchased separately by the student, is also necessary to cover potential illness or accidents. This Medical Insurance must be purchased prior to arrival or during registration. All costs incurred are the responsibility of the student and acceptance and registration are contingent upon the purchase of approved insurance. Costs and information on acceptable insurance plans are available through the Admissions Office.

Language and Academic Requirements:

1. English language proficiency - All applicants must be proficient in both oral and written English. Therefore, applicants whose first language is not English must complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), achieving a score of at least 550 on the paper-based test, 213 on the computer-based test, or 79 on the internet-based test. For information regarding TOEFL examinations, times, and locations, write:

Educational Testing Service TOEFL Publications P.O. Box 6154 Princeton, NJ 08541-6154 www.toefl.org


(The telephone number for the Candidate Services Call Center for Canada is 1-800-GO-TOEFL. Please have TOEFL test results sent directly to Atlantic Baptist University.)

EAP option - Students who do not meet the requisite English language proficiency but have a TOEFL score of 480 and meet all other admissions criteria may be offered conditional admission to ABU upon successful completion of the EAP (English for Academic Purposes) program.

2. Certificate of Education - International applicants must achieve a recognized state/government certificate of education. If such government certificates are not available, applicants should contact the Admissions Office for alternative means of admission qualifications, e.g. British system – International English Language Testing System (IELTS) – (need a 6.5 / 9).

3. Advance Deposit - An Advance Deposit, equivalent to tuition, room and board, and textbooks for one year and any other pertinent fees for the year in which the student is applying (approximately $14,000.00 Canadian), is due upon the applicant’s receipt of a conditional letter of acceptance from the Admissions Office. Payment is necessary to maintain student immigration status. Renewal of the student’s visa will require this same procedure with fees due prior to the start of subsequent academic years. An official letter of acceptance to Atlantic Baptist University, which is necessary for immigration purposes, will follow the Admissions Office’s receipt of the Advance Deposit. If the student does not enroll at Atlantic Baptist University the deposit will be refunded once written notification has been received.

Transfer Students

Any students wanting to transfer to Atlantic Baptist University from another institution must first follow the application procedure stated previously. Once accepted, the student’s file will be evaluated by the Registrar for possible transfer credit. Post-secondary courses taken elsewhere are eligible for transfer credit provided the content appears to comply with the standards established by Atlantic Baptist University for its own courses and the grade obtained by the student is a C- or higher. The University's Academic Council serves as the advisory board for situations warranting special consideration. Sometimes final assessment is reserved until the transfer student has completed at least one semester of full-time study at Atlantic Baptist University. The maximum number of hours accepted for transfer credit from other institutions is 60 credit hours towards a degree of 120 credit hours. Within this 60 credit hour maximum, no more then 50% of a major is eligible for transfer.


Conditional Acceptance

Applicants that do not meet the standard admission requirements may be considered for Conditional Acceptance. Upon admission, however, those students will be placed on Academic Probation and expected to perform at the required academic level with periodic assessments made to monitor their progress. (See “Academic Information” section.)

Advanced Academic Standing

Atlantic Baptist University does grant university credit to students who have demonstrated exceptional ability within either the Advanced Placement program or the International Baccalaureate program. Any student involved in either of these programs, who has received a score of four or five on the Advanced Placement Examinations, or a score of five, six, or seven on the International Baccalaureate Examinations, may request an assessment for university credit up to a maximum of 30 credit hours. For further information, contact the Registrar’s Office. Other applicants who have completed various post-secondary courses or programs but who do not have normal transferable status may be considered eligible to receive advanced academic standing toward their degree at Atlantic Baptist University. Each of these situations is considered on an individual basis and is possible only on approval of the Academic Council. This approval usually comes after the student has successfully completed at least one semester at Atlantic Baptist University. The Academic Council expects these students to perform at an above-average level of proficiency while attending Atlantic Baptist University in order to receive advanced standing. Typically, this means an overall average of B or a grade point average of 3.00 in their first full semester at Atlantic Baptist University.

Student Classification

Students admitted to any courses at Atlantic Baptist University will be classified as either full-time (12-18 credit hours per semester) or part-time (3-9 credit hours per semester). It should be noted that three credit hours equal one semester course. Students (full-time or part-time) who desire to study certain courses for credit, but who are not seeking to complete a specific program, may register as Continuing Education students.


Students With Physical or Learning Disabilities.

Atlantic Baptist University seeks to offer all students equal access to the educational process. Therefore students who have a diagnosed, preexisting physical or educational disability must inform the Registrar’s office if they require accommodation for attendance, testing, participation in classroom or laboratory activities. Professional, current documentation that establishes the nature of the disability and the recommendations for accommodations are required. The university will accommodate the student to the extent that such accommodations do not disadvantage or compromise the safety of other students in the course and to the extent that all the learning objectives of the course can still be achieved. Students with disabilities are requested to contact the Office of the Registrar as

soon as they are accepted to the university in order to begin the accommodation process. Complete details on university policy is available on the website or from the Registrar’s Office.

USA Student Loans

American citizens and permanent residents studying full-time can apply for subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Parent Plus Loans and/or Signature Private Loans. Students are expected to have their applications to the Vice-President for Administration and Finance by August 1st .

A. To apply for a Stafford Loan, please complete the following 4 steps: 1. All US students begin the process by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA) on line at: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov Applications can also be obtained from your local high school.

2. The next step is to fill out the Master Promissory Note. 3. Download the Request Letter available at www.abu.nb.ca, under Prospective Students, Financial Info, complete and fax it to 506-858-9694 to the attention of Heathe Burke.

B. Parent Plus Loan – loan for educational costs of a dependent student for which parents may apply.

Disbursement of Loans

Loans come in two disbursements - mid to late September and late December or January. Your loan cheque will be mailed either to ABU. You will be informed upon its arrival.


Satisfactory Academic Progress

All students applying for or receiving US Federal Aid (subsidized/unsubsidized Stafford Loans and Parent Plus Loans) at Atlantic Baptist University (ABU) must make satisfactory academic progress towards completion of their chosen academic program. ABU is required by US Federal Law to define and enforce standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). These guidelines have been established to encourage students to successfully complete their academic programs for which aid is received. A student is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress when they:

• successfully complete 75% of attempted credit hours each semester

• meet minimum grade point average requirements each semester

• complete their program of study within the maximum allowable time frame

Minimum Requirements for Degree Students

SEMESTER % OF ATTEMPED CREDIT HRS.SUCCESSFULLY

COMPLETED

SEMESTER GPA

First To Third Semesters 75% 1.33

Fourth & subsequent semesters

75% 2.0

Maximum Allowable Time Frame for Full-Time Students A student is entitled to receive aid for 150% of the length of their academic program.

• 4 year degree = 6 years of eligibility

Evaluation and Notification

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) will be assessed for each student by the Vice-President for Administration and Finance at the end of each academic semester to determine their eligibility for continued Financial Aid. Students will be notified in writing or by email within ten business days of the semester grades being released if they are placed on Financial Aid probation or if their Financial Aid eligibility has been suspended.

Financial Aid Probation and Suspension

Students who fail to achieve the required minimum standards of academic progress will be placed on Financial Aid Probation for one semester. If, during that semester, students meet the required minimum standards of academic


progress and meet with the Vice-President for Administration and Finance, they will be removed from probation and be eligible for US Federal Aid.

Students on probation who do not meet the required minimum standards during that semester will be place on Financial Aid Suspension. They will be ineligible for any further US Federal Aid until such time as they achieve the required minimum standards of academic progress. When suspended students achieve the required minimum standards they must notify the Financial Aid Director and they will be eligible again for US Federal Aid. Students who have exceeded their Timeframe Eligibility will be ineligible for

any further US Federal Aid.

Financial Aid Appeals

In certain circumstances, students whose US Federal Aid eligibility has been suspended may appeal the suspension if at least one of the following criteria is met:

• Death of an immediate family member (parent, caregiver, spouse, sibling, dependant child etc.).

• The extended illness of the student – documented chronic or recurring medical or emotional illness that causes the student to be absent from class at least 15 days or more.

• Family difficulties, such as divorce or illness.

• Mitigating circumstances as determined by the Vice-President for Administration and Finance.

Appeal Process: 1. Submit a written appeal letter to the Vice-President for Administration and Finance within five business days of the receipt of the notification of suspension. This letter must outline the reasons for the failure to meet SAP requirements and include all documentation supporting the appeal.

2. The appeal will be reviewed by the Vice-President for Administration and Finance and Registrar who together will decide to uphold or reverse the suspension.

3. A written response to the appeal will be provided to the student within ten business days.

Title IV Refund Policy

If a student withdraws or is expelled during the semester (payment period), US law specifies that Atlantic Baptist University (ABU) must recalculate the student’s Title IV (Stafford Loan) funding to determine what amount he/she has “earned”.


Calculation of Title IV Funding Earned

To earn 100% of Title IV funding a student must complete 60% or more of the semester. If a student has not completed 60% of the semester, the amount earned will be determined by the number of calendar days completed divided by the number of days in the semester. Therefore, a student who has completed 25 days of the 103 day semester, will be eligible for 24.27% (25 divided by 103 equals 24.27%) of their previous Title IV eligibility. If the student received (or ABU received on the student’s behalf) less

assistance than the amount that was earned, the student may be eligible to receive those additional funds. If the student received more assistance than was earned, the excess funds must be returned by ABU and/or the student.

Returning Excess Title IV Funding

ABU is required to return a portion of the excess funds equal to the lesser of: 1. ABU’s charges multiplied by the unearned percentage of the funds, or

2. The entire amount of excess funds. If ABU is not required to return all of the excess funds, the student must return

the remaining amount. Title IV funds will be returned to the lender in the following order:

1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans

ABU will return all excess funds to the lender within 30 days of the last date of attendance.

Withdrawal Date When a student withdraws during a semester, the withdrawal date for Title IV refund purposes will be established as the earlier of the following dates:

• The date the student notifies the Registrar of their intent to withdraw.

• The date the student submits a withdrawal form. If a student does not submit a withdrawal form or notify the Registrar of their intent to withdraw, their withdrawal date will be established as the last date of their class attendance. If a student receives all failing grades for a semester and it is determined that this is a result of lack of class attendance, their last date of attendance will be established and used to calculate the amount of Title IV funding earned for the semester.


Refund Policy

Refunds may be available from the University based upon the following:

Tuition:

End of 1st full week of classes: 90% End of 2nd full week of classes: 70% End of 3rd full week of classes: 60% End of 4th full week of classes: 40% After 4th full week of classes: 0%

During Spring or Summer sessions where class schedules are modified from

the regular year, these time frames will be used as equivalencies, e.g. 3 hours of class time equals one week of classes. This policy will be strictly enforced. No other refunds for tuition will be available. The student must go to the Registrar’s Office to withdraw and sign an official notice of withdrawal. The date of withdrawal shall be the date that you inform the Registrar of your intention to withdraw and all refunds will be calculated from this date, not the date which you stopped going to class. The withdrawal form will have to be signed by the Registrar’s Office. All outstanding accounts within the University must be settled before a tuition refund will be considered. No refund is available for any fees charged (Comprehensive fee, student fee, etc.). Please note: If a medical situation causes a student to withdraw, he/she may

receive a refund depending on the time frame at which a student withdraws with a medical note. Please contact the Registrar immediately should this occur.

Residence:

Accommodations are charged on a semester basis. Voluntary or disciplinary removal from residence will not qualify you for a refund.

Meal Plans:

No refunds will be given on meal plan charges.

Room Keys/Security Deposit

• All resident students are required to pay a damage deposit as well as a key deposit for their residence room.

• Partial refunds of both the key and damage deposits will be made only after all check out forms are signed and processed by the Student Development Department. There is a $200.00 maximum refund for the Residence Damage Deposit and a $25.00 maximum refund for proximity card and keys.


• The cost of all repairs for damage done to the room by the occupant will be deducted from the security deposit.

CAMPUS LIFE

Atlantic Baptist University Campus Life 53

CAMPUS LIFE

Co-curricular Activities

Much of a student's growth and learning takes place outside the classroom and removed from books. At Atlantic Baptist University, numerous activities, organizations or opportunities exist for students to grow in all aspects of life. Drama and music teams offer students an opportunity to develop talents and abilities and to use such in ministry to others. The athletic program is a growing area with both varsity and club sports teams. Student Government provides opportunity to learn more about the structure of the University and to develop your leadership potential. Special interest organizations, which vary each year according to interest, exist through clubs such as the Drama Society, ABU Stasis Toastmasters Club, the Arts Society, and the Business Society. Social activities abound from coffee houses, movie nights, Winter Carnival and banquets. Choosing to participate in these opportunities will enhance your experience as a student at Atlantic Baptist University.

ABU Wellness Program

The aim of this program is to encourage students to develop and maintain a balanced approach to life. The program will offer workshops, fitness sessions, resources, nutritional guidance and social events designed to strengthen the community and encourage a healthy well-balanced lifestyle. This program is coordinated by the Student Development Department.

Athletics/Recreation

It is our desire that students develop in all areas of life while at ABU and therefore we provide opportunities for health and fitness. Our fitness room is available to students during regular building hours. Any who wish are encourged to try out and/or sign up for the teams we co-ordinate each year. Atlantic Baptist University offers three levels of competitive athletics: Varsity, Club and Intramural. The Varsity level is our intercollegiate teams, which belong to the Atlantic Colleges Athletics Association. Club sports with less involvement include hockey, softball and volleyball. Intramural opportunities may include football, volleyball, softball, badminton, and ping pong as we strive to include everyone in our community to maintain physical health and well-being during the academic year. The Sports Committee of the Student Association also

54 Campus Life Atlantic Baptist University

arranges for ski trips, skating at local arenas, rappelling, hiking, and a number of other sporting activities which could include basketball, soccer, football, and badminton.

Spiritual Life

The motto of the University is taken from the book of Colossians, chapter one - “that Christ might come to have first place in everything.” Therefore we give as much focus to spiritual life development as we do to academic development. The historic Christian faith upon which this University was founded is evident in classes, in residence, on the sports field, in our social activities but above all in the lives of those faculty, staff and students who form our community. One of the ways we celebrate our faith is through the preaching and teaching of God’s Word and the praise and worship of our required regular chapel gatherings. The academic activities of the University cease so that as many as possible may come together to focus and regain perspective on the ways God has blessed us and challenges us to develop and grow in Biblical knowledge, spiritual disciplines and outreach. Choosing to attend ABU also means choosing to participate in the chapel program designed to enrich the spiritual dimension of your life. Please check the Student Handbook available on the website for specific programs and details. Students are also encouraged to find a local church where they will receive strength and have opportunity to exercise their gifts and talents. A listing of local churches, worship times and mid week programs is posted on the University bulletin boards. Some of these local churches will also provide transportation from the University for Sunday services.

Residence

Atlantic Baptist University provides a residential option for students with many choosing residence life because of location, convenience and community. First year students are especially encouraged to apply for residence and enjoy one of the unique, rich experiences of university life. Friendships established here through visiting, socializing, studying or sharing together will last a lifetime. There really is “no life like it.” The day-to-day operation of the residence is under the guidance of returning

students known as Residence Assistants (R.A.s). They will help students get settled into their rooms and are there to help as the transition from home to university occurs. The R.A.’s will also demonstrate leadership and responsibility so that the residence functions well and is in keeping with the Christian mission of

Atlantic Baptist University Campus Life 55

our University. The R.A. program and the operation of the residence receives oversight and direction from the Student Life Director. Our three-story residence building, Colburne House, accommodates 140

students and is divided into six separate wings. Each wing contains four living units with four bed/study rooms and a washroom per unit. Single and double rooms as well as suites are available. Lounges are provided on each wing with a larger common lounge and an extra study room in the center of the building. The residence is located approximately 500 feet from the academic building. Applications are considered on a first come first served basis. Applications

are to be submitted along with the required deposit when you apply for admission to the University. Your residence application will be processed after you have been admitted to the University. The residence application allows you to recommend a roommate or living unit mates if you desire. If not, the information requested on the application will help the Student Development staff to make appropriate roommate selections. The Student Life Director reserves the right to determine priority assignment of single rooms to students who provide documentation of special needs or circumstances. Once the residence is full we will keep a waiting list based on date of application. Off-campus housing options are available through the Student Development Office. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible and adult manner consistent with Christian values at all times whether on or off campus. The standard of conduct expected is informed by the scriptures and consistent with the aims of the Christian community. For specific policies on alcohol consumption, drugs, smoking, dishonesty, gossip, etc., please refer to the Student Handbook.

Student Handbook

Before arrival at the university each student should read the student handbook that is posted on the website. The handbook contains important information on all aspects of our life together. This book will guide you through the building as to where everything is located, the procedures and policies regarding such things as mail delivery or gym usage, and a summary of the privileges and responsibilities which accompany your status as a student at Atlantic Baptist University. A Residence Life Handbook is available on the website as well and contains residence information designed to help you understand and appreciate residence life. Familiarity and cooperation with all that is outlined in these handbooks will be expected of all students. A hard copy will be made available upon request.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Atlantic Baptist University Academic Information 57

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Orientation

An information packet is sent to all students to supply up-to-date information for the upcoming University year. Any questions regarding programs, courses and timetable should be directed to the Registrar’s Office. The Student Development Office should be contacted regarding residence life or general orientation options for students. The first few days of being an ABU student will be filled with excitement and anxiety. An Orientation program has been designed to lessen the anxiety and increase the excitement and at the same time provide you with a sense of belonging. Staff and student volunteers will keep you informed of what, when, where, who, why and how. Some course placement and assessment tests are done at this time in preparation for registration. Faculty are available for consultation and advising. All first-time students to Atlantic Baptist University should schedule their arrival on campus so as to participate completely in orientation events.

Registration

Students must register during the pre-registration or registration dates indicated in the calendar of events of the current academic year. Please contact the Registrar’s Office for details at [email protected]. Late registrants will be subject to an additional fee of $25.00 per course.

Attendance

It is the student's responsibility to attend all classes in which s/he is registered. An instructor may bar a student from writing the final examination in any course where the student has been absent, without permission or legitimate cause, for more than one-quarter of the classes. Individual professors may indicate further attendance expectations within their course syllabi.

Course Changes and Withdrawals

All course changes and withdrawals made following the completion of registration must be finalized through the Registrar's Office, although the student's

58 Academic Information Atlantic Baptist University

faculty advisor may be involved in filling out the appropriate forms. Students are reminded that any course withdrawal following the deadline date for course changes, typically two weeks after the start of classes for each term (see Calendar of Events page for specific dates), the course will remain on their academic transcript with a W (withdrew) grade. Courses dropped prior to the above mentioned deadline of each term will not be shown on the student’s transcript. No withdrawals will be permitted following the date stated in the Academic Calendar of Events of the current calendar. All first-time students attending Atlantic Baptist University are required to register in at least one required Religious Studies course, within each of their first two semesters, for at least two weeks of each semester.

Withdrawal From University

Students wanting to withdraw from the University after registration must do so through the Registrar's Office. If a student withdraws prior to the last date for course additions no official record of his/her attendance in these courses will be maintained. Students withdrawing after the last date for course additions, and prior to the last date for withdrawals, will receive a ‘W’ grade on all courses in which the student was registered. The Administration of the University may request a student to withdraw from the University at any time for unsatisfactory conduct or for failure to abide by University regulations or achieve university academic standards.

Change of Major

Students changing from one major to another should discuss the situation with their faculty advisor and fill out a “Change of Major” form which can be obtained from the Registrar's Office. The decision to change needs to be approved by the student’s faculty advisor and the Registrar. The student must also realize that any such change may extend the time frame for completion of their program.

Incomplete Work

All course requirements, except for final exams, must be completed and passed in by the last day of classes within the semester. Only the University’s Academic Standards and Appeals Sub-Committee is authorized to grant extensions beyond the last day of classes for any incomplete course work. Appeals should be made in writing by 4:30p.m. on the last day of classes and directed to the Registrar. The Registrar will then present any appeals to the Academic Standards and Appeals Sub-Committee. Extended time is merited primarily in cases of end of term illness or personal emergency. In


certain extreme circumstances, when the student is unable to finish the semester, a grade may be awarded without the completion of the remaining requirements. This would need to be agreeable to the professor of record and approved by the Academic Standards and Appeals Sub-Committee. In such cases a simple pass may be recorded or a grade assessed upon that portion of the work completed.

Grading Standards

Students will be assessed according to the grading requirements indicated in the courses' syllabi. Each professor is expected to abide by the Guidelines for Grading and Reporting Grades stated below.

Guidelines for Grading and Reporting Grades

Grading policies for courses are stated within individual syllabi. They should attempt to ensure that all students are assessed fairly in relation to other students in the same class, students in other sections of the same course and students in other courses at the University. The grading standard is based on the student’s demonstrated ability in such matters as: understanding, critical evaluation, analysis and synthesis, organization, application, and appropriate writing form and style. When questions about marks given on individual course assignments occur during the academic year, the student should deal with the professor directly. If this action does not result in any satisfactory conclusion, the student may choose to discuss the matter with his/her faculty advisor or the Registrar and/or make a formal written appeal to the Academic Standards and Appeals Sub-Committee. In instances where the student believes a professor is specifically singling him/her out and not treating him/her consistently with the other students in the class the V.P. for Academic Affairs should be contacted. Should the student have any questions about the accuracy of his/her final marks, the Registrar's Office needs to be contacted immediately. If any error in calculating or recording the mark is discovered, the correction will be made automatically and a new transcript of marks will be issued to the student. Should no error be detected resulting in continued dissatisfaction on the part of the student s/he may appeal to the Academic Standards and Appeals Sub-Committee. This appeal must be made in writing and should contain all pertinent information and concerns regarding the situation. The Academic Standards and Appeals Sub-Committee is not required to search out information if the student has not offered


sufficient details in his/her appeal. Whenever possible students need to substantiate claims made within their appeal letter.

Grading Scale and Symbols

Standard alpha symbols are used as the official means to indicate course results. Grade points and percentages equivalents are stated below. (Percentage equivalents are offered below as a point of general comparison but they have no official status in the reporting of grades.) A+ = 4.33 (94-100%) A = 4.00 (87-93%) A- = 3.67 (80-86%) B+ = 3.33 (77-79%) B = 3.00 (74-76%) B- = 2.67 (70-73%) C+ = 2.33 (67-69%) C = 2.00 (64-66%) C- = 1.67 (60-63%) D+ = 1.33 (57-59%) D = 1.00 (54-56%) D- = 0.67 (50-53%) F+ = 0.33 (40-49%) F = 0.00 (below 40%)

In addition to the above grading symbols, four other designations are possible: P - Pass Usually awarded for non-credit program requirements. It may also be used as a general mid-term assessment of a course not yet completed. It is not calculated into the GPA. W - Withdrew Assigned when a student withdraws from a course after the second week of classes and prior to the last day to withdraw as indicated in the schedule of events. IP – In Progress Assigned to an active transcript when the student is actually in the process of completing the course or program; also assigned in extenuating circumstances when the student has been unable to complete the course requirements in the normal time period. Usually this delay would not exceed more than six weeks. The Academic Council must approve this extension. I - Incomplete Assigned temporarily, at the request of the professor, when a student in a non-credit course has work not completed.


Education Internship Grading System

P(Dis) = Pass, Distinguished P(Pro) = Pass, Proficient P(Bas) = Pass, Basic F = Fail

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is an indication of the student's academic performance based on a scale ranging from 0.00 to 4.33 (see grade scale earlier). The GPA is calculated by changing each letter grade to its grade point equivalent and multiplying this number by the number of credit hours attributed to the course. These points are then totalled and divided by the total credit hours attempted by the student. The student’s transcript will reflect both the sessional GPA as well as a cumulative GPA for all the courses taken to that point.

Dean's Honours List

Any student taking four or more semester courses and registered in the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Business Administration Degrees, or equivalent, will be considered a Dean's List (First Class Honours) student if s/he maintains an overall term GPA of 3.50 or more.

Academic Dishonesty

The members of the academic community are expected to conduct their work responsibly and with integrity. The faculty assumes that all written and oral work in any course is original or credited to the proper source. The University will not tolerate the following forms of academic dishonesty: 1. Cheating on tests, quizzes, examinations, projects, reports, or any other assignment designed to evaluate the student.

2. Impeding the academic progress of another student. 3. Submitting the same work for credit in two courses without permission to do so.

4. Having someone do one’s academic work or doing someone else’s work for him or her.

5. Involvement in acts of plagiarism, which is the presentation of another’s ideas or words as one’s own without proper documentation. Material that must be documented includes summaries, paraphrases, public broadcasts, lectures, and quotations.


Penalties for Academic Dishonesty

Penalties for academic dishonesty include one or more of the following: (1) reprimand and rewrite (2) reduction of grade on the assignment (maximum penalty of “F”) (3) grade of “F” on the course (4) suspension (5) dismissal

When encountering any form of academic dishonesty professors have some

discretion in determining the seriousness of the offense. This discretion needs to be tempered by an awareness that his/her course is part of a larger educational context at Atlantic Baptist University and there have been general guidelines and practices established by the University’s Academic Council in an effort to minimize the presence of academic dishonesty at Atlantic Baptist University. The objective is to create a balance between allowing flexibility from one professor to another, but also establishing a range of consistent and appropriate treatments for all ABU students. Plagiarism specifically represents a controversial and difficult form of

academic dishonesty within any university and so the following guidelines have been approved by the Academic Council as the consistent and appropriate measure for faculty to follow at ABU.

• When a student in his or her first year at Atlantic Baptist University commits plagiarism the professor may allow the student to rewrite the assignment with a reduction in grade, but depending on the severity of the offense, the professor may assign instead an ‘F’ on the assignment or even an ‘F’ on the entire course. Should this occur he/she must also clearly state, for the student, the specific reasons for this decision. Students questioning the decision of the professor in such cases must submit their appeal in written form to the V.P. for Academic Affairs as Chair of the Academic Council.

• In cases of plagiarism by a student in his or her second or subsequent years at Atlantic Baptist University, the professor must give the assignment or paper an ‘F’, submit the student’s name and provide evidence of the offense to the Academic Council. In making his/her submission to the Academic Council the professor may recommend, with reasons, that the ‘F; grade be raised or that an ‘F’ be assigned for the entire course.

• In cases when a student’s name is submitted to the Academic Council of the University by a professor, the members will make a decision


regarding the penalty to be imposed and will notify both the student and the professor of the outcome and the reasons why. (The Academic Council may choose to interview the student and/or faculty member involved should further clarification be needed.) A copy of the letter that is sent to the student will also be placed in his/her file.

• The penalty for a second offense of plagiarism, which occurs after a student has been penalized for a first offense by the Academic Council, is either suspension or dismissal.

• Plagiarism that is determined after the assignment has been returned or after the student has completed the course or degree program will be reported by the professor to the Academic Council which will implement the penalty retroactively.

Since final examinations are administered by the Registrar’s Office, incidents of academic dishonesty during the writing of final examinations will be addressed by the Registrar in consultation with the Academic Council and the professor of record for the course in which the offense has been committed. Academic dishonesty involving the collaboration of two or more students may result in penalties for all involved. Students accused of academic dishonesty are encouraged to discuss the matter directly with the professor. If no satisfactory conclusion is reached, the student has the right to appeal the decision of the professor in writing to the Academic Council and the decision of the Academic Council to the Senate. All appeals to the Academic Council must be made within two weeks of being notified of the offense.

Academic Probation/Dismissal

The Academic Council may dismiss a student from the University at any time for failure to meet academic requirements. Any B.A., B.Sc. and B.B.A. student who has received a GPA lower than 1.33 in any semester will be considered on Academic Probation. Should the student's GPA remain below 1.33 over two consecutive semesters s/he will be subject to Academic Dismissal. Any B.A., B.Sc., or B.B.A. student having attempted at least 60 credit hours of work and not able to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 1.50 must be assessed by the Academic Council and may be placed on probation or academically dismissed as a result of this assessment. Should the Academic Council conclude the dismissal is the appropriate action the student will be informed immediately and provided with an explanation of the decision.


Students completing courses from other universitites or colleges while on Academic Dismissal from Atlantic Baptist University may not transfer these courses as credit toward their degree at Atlantic Baptist University. With few exceptions, new students entering the university on probation normally are given one semester to improve their probationary status. Obtaining a term GPA of at least 1.33 would generally achieve this. Failure to meet this GPA standard may result in Academic Dismissal. Any academically dismissed student receiving permission from the Academic Council to return to Atlantic Baptist University will be required to achieve at least a 1.50 GPA in his/her first term in order to have their probationary status removed. Academic probation and dismissal regarding Education and ALPS students are presented in separate guideline documents developed by these respective departments. Inquiries should be made to the program Director regarding ALPS and to the Assistant Registrar for Professional Studies regarding Education.

Examination Procedure

Each semester, the Registrar's Office will notify students of the examination schedule for that semester. Should any conflicts be created between examinations, individual students will receive opportunity to adjust their schedule by appealing to the Academic Standards and Appeals Sub-Committee. This appeal should occur at least two weeks prior to the start of the examinations. Personal scheduling conflicts will not normally lead to approval of the student’s appeal. If in limited cases the student’s appeal is granted, he/she will still be subject to a $50.00 fee per examination. Should an examination be missed, for any reason, including illness, the Registrar must be notified as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours from the time the examination was missed. A student absent from a final examination without an acceptable excuse will be assigned a grade of F for that examination. Absence due to illness from a final examination must be supported by a

medical certificate indicating the nature of the illness.


Release of Final Grades

Final grades will not be released by the Registrar’s Office prior to grades being officially mailed to students. No individual requests for receipt of grades will be accepted. Special requests for transcripts to other universities and organizations will be dealt with as soon as grades are available. No marks will be released until a student's account has been paid in full.

Convocation Requirements and Guidelines

A student in a degree program is eligible to convocate if s/he has achieved a cumulative GPA of 1.67 or a GPA of 2.00 over the last 60 credit hours of his/her course work. Certificates are awarded only if the student has achieved a minimum GPA of 1.67 on the required courses for his/her program. Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Business

Administration students having completed at least 75 credit hours from Atlantic Baptist University and achieving a minimal cumulative GPA of 3.50 upon completion of their program will receive a ‘with distinction’ designation on their degree. Those students completing fewer than 75 credit hours from Atlantic Baptist University and achieving a minimal cumulative GPA of 3.67 upon completion of their program will receive a ‘with distinction’ designation on their degree. Students who expect to complete all of their degree requirements at the end of

a particular semester must submit an "Application to Graduate" along with their $100.00 graduation fee six months prior to their anticipated Spring Convocation and two months prior to their anticipated Fall Convocation. Failure to meet this deadline may result in a student being ineligible to graduate on the expected date. Potential Graduates will normally convocate at the earliest available ceremony. "Application to Graduate" forms are available from the Registrar's Office.

Community Practicum

Students are required to fulfill some form of practical service commitment in the church or community. Assignments are equivalent to two hours of service per week and are part of the required curriculum. One semester of commitment is required for every year of full-time study.


The assignments vary in nature and may include: social service, youth activity, Sunday School teaching, serving as a public school aide, music ministry, volunteering for any number of non-profit agencies and designated university service.

Mature students may qualify to have their Community Practicum requirements waived based on past involvement. Portfolios validating extensive community service may be submitted to the Community Practicum coordinator in the Registrar’s Office and s/he will schedule an assessment meeting with each applicant regarding the requirement.

Community Practicum records are maintained by the Registrar’s Office. This information is a part of the student's official record and successful completion of the service requirement is necessary for graduation from all traditional academic programs.

Second Degree Requirements

In order to receive a second degree from Atlantic Baptist University all requirements of the second degree must be fulfilled including a minimal addition of 36 credit hours to the 120 credit hours of the first degree.

Directed Studies

A Directed Study is a 3000 or 4000 level reading course offered in special circumstances to upper level students on an individual basis. Directed Studies are available only on a limited basis due to the additional responsibility they place upon the faculty and they require approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Students interested in requesting a Directed Study course should follow the following procedures:

• Talk to the potential professor(s) and to the Registrar and seek their advice first.

• Obtain a Directed Study request form from the Registrar.

• Directed Studies request forms must be submitted within the first two weeks of the semester in which the course is to be done.

• Submit the Directed Studies request form, signed by the student and professor, to the Registrar. This form will be reviewed and submitted to the V.P. for Academic Affairs.


Alternatively-Delivered Courses

Certain courses in the regular Atlantic Baptist University curriculum may, from time to time, be offered in non-traditional formats.

Typically these alternatively delivered courses are first or second year level required courses which:

1. will not be offered in the regular course offerings in time for the student to graduate on schedule; or

2. are part of a timetable conflict which would cause a student to be unable to graduate on schedule. Only a limited number of courses are available in this format at this time.

Students requiring such options must follow the same procedures as noted in the “Directed Studies” section.

Transcript Requests

The Registrar's Office will send, to other institutions, transcript requests that are made through completing and signing the “Transcript of Academic Record Request” form. Please note at peak times this process could take approximately two weeks. A fee of $10.00, per destination, is charged for a transcript.

Updating Degrees

Atlantic Baptist University will exchange degrees for graduates of Atlantic Baptist University who subsequently complete the requirements for a second major at a later date. These students will not participate in the Convocation ceremony again, but acknowledgement of the change will be included in the program. They will be subject to the program regulations in place at the time of their return to the University.

Atlantic Baptist University will exchange degrees for graduates of Atlantic Baptist University who subsequently complete the requirements for a Honours Degree at a later date. They will not participate in the Convocation ceremony again, but acknowledgement of the change will be included in the program. They will be subject to the regulations in place at the time of their return. There is a $30.00 fee to reprint a new degree parchment.

Bachelor of Education Degree

This program is designed to meet the needs of prospective teachers who desire the background and knowledge necessary to pursue successfully a professional career as a teacher. In conjunction with the mission of Atlantic Baptist University, this preparation occurs in an environment in which the integration of Christian faith and learning is continuously explored in the framework of a Christian perspective on the world. The completion of a Bachelor of Education degree leads to Teacher Certification by the Province of New Brunswick. (For students considering certification possibilities in other provinces, they should contact the Assistant Registrar for Professional Studies or certification division of the specific province.) Students wishing to teach in private schools, outside Canada, or wishing to pursue other education-related careers will also benefit from this degree program.


Program Options:

1. Consecutive B.Ed. Degree – This is available to those individuals who have previously completed a B.A., B.B.A., or B.Sc. degree, or equivalent. (Note: Equivalences are based on ABU’s standards and guidelines.) It is a two-year, 60 credit hours, program.

2. Concurrent B.Ed. Degree – This is available to those individuals who have completed 30 credit hours towards a B.A., B.B.A. or B.Sc. degree, or equivalent, and are interested in completing the two degrees simultaneously. The two degrees combine into 180 credit hours, but in certain instances this may be reduced to 168 credit hours should electives be available from the student’s initial undergraduate degree. The concurrent program begins in the student’s second year and requires a minimum of four years of study beyond the initial year, for a total of five years. Students will need to maximize their courses within several semesters and/or take additional spring or summer courses in order to graduate with both degrees in five years. (Note: Equivalencies are based on ABU’s standards and guidelines.)

Program Goals:

The purpose of this program is to prepare educators who are sensitive to the

individual differences of children and adolescents and who are competent in addressing a wide range of learning levels. A student-centered approach to educational practice and the role of the teacher as a servant-leader are major areas of emphasis for this program of study. The program goals outline the values which guide the students’ program of study and ultimately lead to the formation of student-centered educational leaders. The following are the program goals: Knowledge of Children and Adolescents: Student-centered educators draw on their knowledge of childhood and early adolescent development and their relationships with students to understand and foster their students’ knowledge, skills, interests, aspirations and values. Knowledge of Subject Matter: Student-centered educators draw on their knowledge of subject matter to establish goals and to facilitate student learning within and across the disciplines that comprise the curriculum. Instructional Resources: Student-centered educators select, adapt, create and use rich and varied resources. Learning Environment: Student-centered educators establish a caring, stimulating, inclusive and safe community for learning where students take intellectual risks and work independently and collaboratively. Meaningful Learning: Student-centered educators require students to confront, explore and understand important and challenging concepts, topics and issues in purposeful ways.


Multiple Paths to Knowledge: Student-centered educators use a variety of approaches to help students build knowledge and strengthen understanding. Social Development: Student-centered educators foster students’ self-awareness, self-esteem, character, civic responsibility and respect for diverse individuals and groups. Student Assessment: Student-centered educators employ a variety of assessment methods to obtain useful information about student learning and development and to assist students in reflecting on their own progress. Reflective Practice: Student-centered educators regularly analyze, evaluate and strengthen the effectiveness and quality of their practice. Family Partnerships: Student-centered educators work with families to achieve common goals for the education of their children. Collaboration with Colleagues: Student-centered educators work with colleagues to improve schools and to advance knowledge and practice in their field.

Degree Requirements:

The B.Ed. degree is granted upon completion of 60 credit hours of education courses which include the specific requirements listed below. All requirements for a B.A., B.B.A., or B.Sc. degree, or equivalent, must be completed prior to the awarding of the B.Ed. degree.

In both program options, course work is required in four areas: Foundations of Education (18 credit hours), Areas of Study (21 credit hours), Electives Area (6 credit hours) and Field Practicum (15 credit hours). A minimum of 168 credit hours will be required in order to earn the two degrees, but this is only possible if some education courses have been completed as part of one’s first baccalaureate degree. Most consecutive B.Ed. graduates will have completed 180 credit hours. Students who have not completed their B.A., B.B.A., or B.Sc., or equivalent,

at Atlantic Baptist University may be required to take an additional 6 credit hours in Bible-oriented Religious Studies in order to meet ABU’s B.A., B.B.A., or B.Sc. equivalency requirements. The specific B.Ed. requirements are given below:

I. Foundations of Education: (18 credit hours)

The following core courses provide the foundational base required by each student enrolled in either the concurrent or consecutive B.Ed. program.

ED 4103 Educational Psychology: Inclusionary Practices (3 credit hours)


These courses provide students with an introduction to key educational insights, theoretical concepts and practical approaches related to student learning and the instructional relationship. The content and hands-on experience offered to students in these core program components provide them with the necessary background for applying educational insights to additional course work related to specific areas of learning. (ABU graduates are exempt from ED4013 and should replace it with another course from the elective area.)

II. Areas of Study: (21 credit hours)

Atlantic Baptist University is comprised of two elements. The first element of the Internship program is an observational component whereby each student much complete 72 contact hours within the public school setting observing strategies and practices of the regular classroom teacher. This observation portion must be completed before a student will be placed in the second element of the program – a 15-week full-time Internship. Students will participate in an extended internship experience for 15 weeks in the school system. Students move from guided to independent practice, as professional educators supervise this phase of their program preparation. Following the successful completion of the in-class time of ED5115, the student is required to prepare a closure document, which is reflective of the student’s experiences during the Internship. The selection of the topic or focus is made in collaboration with the internship supervisor. (Students are not guaranteed entrance into this Internship but must demonstrate the necessary abilities in their previous internship and courses.)

The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities Study Programs

Because Atlantic Baptist University is an affiliate member of The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, a number of off-campus learning experiences are available to students. American Studies Program: The American Studies Program, founded in September 1976, serves as the "Washington campus" of Council member colleges. Based on the principle of integrating faith, learning and living, students spend a semester in Washington, DC earning academic credit by serving as interns and participating in a contemporary, issue-oriented seminar program. Available internships may include congressional offices, social service agencies, think tanks, or cultural institutions. The American Studies Program is designed for juniors and seniors with a wide range of academic majors and vocational interests.


Latin American Studies Program: An opportunity to live and learn in Latin America is available to students from Council member colleges through the Latin American Studies Program. Located in San Jose, Costa Rica, the program is committed to helping students examine and live out the Lordship of Jesus Christ in an international context. Each semester, a group of approximately 25 students is selected to participate in this seminar and service experience. Los Angeles Film Studies Center: In January 1991, the Christian College Council inaugurated the Los Angeles Film Studies Center. Its purpose is to enable Christian college students to serve in various aspects of the film industry with professional skill and Christian integrity. Located in Burbank near major production studios, the semester-long program combines seminar courses with an internship in various segments of the film industry, providing students the opportunity to explore the industry within a Christian context and from a liberal arts perspective. Middle East Studies Program: The Middle East Studies Program in Cairo, Egypt provides students with the opportunity to study Middle Eastern cultures, religions and conflicts from within this diverse and strategic region. Juniors and seniors from Christian colleges participate in interdisciplinary seminar classes, receive Arabic language instruction and serve as interns with various organizations in Cairo. The Middle East Studies Program will encourage evangelical Christians to relate to the Muslim world in an informed and constructive manner. Russian Studies Program: The Russian Studies Program allows juniors and seniors from Christian colleges to spend a semester living and learning in Russia. Students will study the language and attend seminar courses on Russian culture, history and current political and economic issues. Program participants experience a variety of Russian cities, living for two weeks in Moscow, ten weeks in Nizhni Novgorod (formerly Gorky) and three weeks in St. Petersburg.

Council-Affliliated Programs:

Au Sable Institute Of Environmental Studies: Located in Michigan, this program offers courses which cover various aspects of environmental studies and stewardship. Ecological information is provided along with experience in both field and laboratory techniques. Scholarship assistance is available to students at Council member colleges.

PROGRAMS and COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Course Number System

Four figures appear for each course indicated in the calendar. The first figure indicates the usual year of attendance in which the course is taken and/or the academic level at which the course is taught. For instance, {1} indicates that it is a course available for all first year students. All courses beginning with a {3} or {4} will be considered upper level courses requiring prerequisites. Generally 4000 level courses are very specialized within a particular major and available for third and fourth year students in that major. The 6000 level courses in education are graduate level and require a B.Ed. or equivalent as a prerequisite.

The second and third figures provide the Registrar’s Office with the opportunity of maintaining a numeric distinctiveness between various courses offered from one semester to the next. The fourth and final digit normally indicates the number of credit hours granted upon the successful completion of the course. For instance, half-year courses will end with a {3} and year courses will end with a {6}. Those course numbers ending in {0}are non-credit or non-academic courses but will still be awarded a pass (P) or fail (F) grade. Atlantic Baptist University utilizes a semester approach to its course offerings. This means that the majority of courses only last for one semester and a final grade is given upon completion of each semester. However, in a few specific cases, such as would be found within many introductory courses or some upper level courses, one semester does not provide adequate time to cover all the necessary content. In these cases, the semester approach is maintained but both fall and winter semesters are used in sequence to cover all the necessary material. Typically Part I would be the prerequisite for Part II. The courses listed in this section are not always offered every year but may occur, for instance, every other year. Students will need to consult the Registrar’s Office to determine what the normal sequencing pattern would be. Courses marked with an asterisk (*) are cross-listed in other disciplines.
