This policy outlines the time frame in which students may make changes to their class schedule. Students are responsible for understanding and following all policies, deadlines, and procedures of the institution. Credit will be granted only for courses in which students are properly registered. Students assume both academic and financial responsibility for any registered course unless they officially cancel registration within the established deadlines.
Adding Courses
Students may add courses through the end of the second Saturday session of the semester. Courses added after the official registration period are subject to availability and class size limits.
To add a course, submit an updated Registration Form listing all courses you plan to attend. Forms are available at the Registrar’s Office. Full payment for added courses is required.
Dropping Courses
Courses may be dropped through the end of the second Saturday session of the semester. Tuition and applicable fees will not be refunded and is not transferrable.
Students may notify the Administration Office of their intent to drop or withdraw in any manner.
Withdrawal from Courses
A withdrawal occurs when a student remains enrolled in a course after the Add/Drop deadline but ceases attendance. Non-attendance is considered a withdrawal.
- A grade of “W” will appear on the transcript for withdrawn courses.
- If an instructor initiates an administrative withdrawal after the Add/Drop deadline, a grade of “WA” will appear.
Students are financially responsible for the full tuition and fees of any course not dropped by the Add/Drop deadline.
Students are expected to attend every class session, as each is designed to build knowledge, strengthen faith, and prepare for ministry. Only one absence per semester is permitted, and students must notify their instructor immediately to arrange for any missed work. All students are required to check in with the Registrar’s Office on the first day to receive semester materials, and we recommend arriving early to allow time for this process. Practicum requirements must be completed in full to pass the semester, regardless of absences. Even with an excused absence, students remain responsible for all missed work and practicum activities.
50% of the tuition and fees are due before the start of the semester and is non-refundable and non-transferable. The remaining balance is due by the second class. This ensures students are fully prepared on day one, with no delays in receiving their materials or starting their courses. Students who do not meet financial obligations will not be recognized as enrolled. Students are responsible for reviewing and confirming billing information, which is available through Gradelink before the start of the term. Outstanding balances will result in suspension of services, including such as transcript release, diploma issuance, and registration privileges.
Payment Methods: Payments may be made via Gradelink, the Registrar Office (on the day of class), or at the Administration Office (Monday–Friday, 10 AM – 4 PM).
Reinstatement is at the discretion of the FABC Administration and requires a $25 reinstatement fee.
Students may receive a refund for overpayment if account credits exceed charges. Alternatively, excess funds may be applied to the following semester.
