Distance Education

The Distance Education Program makes it possible for the student to study at home, working around the student's own personal schedule. The study materials are designed to help the student successfully complete the courses.

Enrollment in the Distance Education courses may be initiated at any time. The courses are not tied to a semester structure. Students are allowed 120 days to complete a course.

The Distance Education courses are offered on an institute (non-credit) or full credit basis.

Full Credit

Each course may be taken for two credit hours; a letter grade will be earned; and credits may be applied toward a degree program.

 

Institute Courses

These courses are offered on a pass/fail basis. No grade will be issued. At the institute level, a Bible certificate will be issued for each five (5) courses successfully completed with a pass basis. With the successful completion of fifteen (15) courses with a pass basis, a Bible diploma will be issued; and recipients may participate in the May commencement exercises.

Christian Service

As a college, we are strongly committed to the ministry of the local church and the importance of each individual’s participation in some form of regular Christian service. To encourage participation and spiritual growth, all students enrolled at Arlington Baptist College are expected to complete a minimum of one unit of Christian service for each semester of full-time enrollment.

This program consists of:

  1. A daily journal of one’s quiet time with the Lord.
  2. A record of participation in the services of the local church.
  3. An eight-hour Ministry Skills Assignment as explained in the section entitled “Christian Service”.
  4. Evaluation forms are to be completed by you and your pastor or his designate. In keeping with this policy, all distance education students who are enrolled for college credit shall participate in one supervised program of Christian service following every ten hours of credit earned at Arlington Baptist College. This requirement will run concurrently with enrollment in that class whose completion will cause the students accumulated hours to exceed 10, 20, 30, etc.

No degree will be issued to a student who has not completed at least three Christian Service Units or the equivalent. Students may also elect to participate at other times on a volunteer basis, and are encouraged to do so. There is a one-time materials fee of $10 for students taking Christian service for the first time.

Forms and procedures are available from the Director of Christian Service. They should be included with course packets as needed, but it is the responsibility of the student to see that this requirement is met.

Married Couples

A married couple who agrees to share a single set of course materials may concurrently enroll in the same distance education course at a course cost of one and one-half times the normal charges plus the registration fee. If both students enroll at the same level, either Institute or Credit, the registration fee will be $40.00. If one student chooses to enroll at the institute level and the other student chooses to enroll at the credit level, the registration fee will be $80.00. The registration fee is non-refundable. If only one student chooses to withdraw during the twenty-one day examination period, the maximum refund will be one-half the current charge for a single course. The current charge for couples is $475.00, and the maximum refund if only one withdraws is $75.00.

* All charges are subject to change without notice.
