A student must meet the requirements of the catalog under which he
first enrolls. A student who withdraws from college and returns after a
period of three or more years must submit to the current catalog at the
time of re–enrollment.
A candidate qualifying for a bachelor’s degree must complete a minimum
of 136 credit hours of course work, including a Christian Service class
for each semester in which he is enrolled, up to eight semesters. A
candidate for the associate of arts degree must complete a minimum of
68 credit hours of course work, including a Christian Service class for
each semester in which he is enrolled, up to four semesters. A
candidate for the associate of science degree must complete a minimum
of 102 credit hours of course work, including a Christian Service class
for each semester in which he is enrolled, up to six semesters. At
least 30 of the last 36 credit hours earned toward a degree must be
completed in residence at Northland. At least half the credit hours of
course work within a student’s major and minor must be completed at
Northland.
A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 is required for all work
attempted toward a degree. A grade of “C–” or higher must be obtained
in each of the courses counted toward a student’s major and minor field
of study, ENG 101 and 102, as well as SPC 101 and 102. Each division
may require students to obtain a grade of “C–” or higher in certain
other courses as well; these requirements are delineated in the section
for each division.
During his senior year, each student must pass comprehensive exit exams
and affirm his agreement with the Northland Baptist Bible College
Articles of Faith. Additionally, some departments require students to
complete internships as part of the graduation requirements for the
majors they offer.
A graduation application should typically be filed with the Registrar’s
Office by the end of the student’s junior year. Any application
received after March 1 of the student’s senior year will not be
accepted, and the student will not be allowed to march at the upcoming
Commencement. The application is used by college personnel for degree
clearance, preparation of the annual Commencement program, diploma
presentation, and participation in the Commencement ceremony.
Attendance at the Awards Chapel, Spring Concert, and graduation
rehearsal is required for all graduation candidates. Any exceptions
must be approved by the Academic Committee.
Students may participate in the May Commencement ceremony only if all
degree requirements have been satisfied and if all financial
obligations have been met. There will be no graduation concessions.
