ACADEMIC

Admission Procedures
Prospective students who wish to apply for admission to REED CHRISTIAN COLLEGE should write or visit the Office of Admissions, 1001 East Rosecrans Avenue, Compton, California for application forms. Application should be made well in advance of the proposed date of entrance.

General requirements for admission are as follows:

Resources, Facilities and Maintenance
REED CHRISTIAN COLLEGE is NOT underwritten by large donors, and has no endowment. It is maintained entirely by faith. The registration fees and tuitions do not approximate current expenses. The professors, students, Board of Trustees, Faculty, Alumni and friends are concerned sacrificially about the need of the school, and that this work shall function with increasing effectiveness. We trust that our Lord, working through His faithful stewards, will provide our daily needs. It is hoped that many will find it desirable to contribute the expenses necessary to the implementation of its program.

Faculty Advisor
Each student admitted to REED CHRISTIAN COLLEGE will be assigned a faulty member who will function as an advisor and guide to that student; aiding him or her in the preparation of a professional career. Any problem the student faces should be brought before his advisor for aid, counsel and assistance where possible.

Practical Activities
The school encourages its students to actively participate in the phases of Christian Service for which they are being trained. Many students serve as pastors, church musicians, church secretaries, Sunday School teachers, youth workers, and in other types of Christian Service. All students will procure, or are assigned some weekly activity.

Religious Life
The college sets aside certain definite periods for religious observance so that a constant religious emphasis may be made. These observances are: Chapel Hour, The Sunday School, the Sunday Vesper Services, held regularly as announced; and such other special services held occasionally as may be appropriate.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Payment of Accounts
All semester bills of students are due and payable in advance at the beginning of each semester on registration day. These include required fees, tuitions, et al. Students who are unable to pay their bills, as and when due, should request the privilege of deferred payments, by making arrangements through the Dean’s Office in advance.

All accounts must be paid in full before the final examinations may be taken, final grades recorded, or a transcript of credits issued.

Graduation Requirements
Every student must:
1. Be faithful in class and chapel attendance. Only limited number of absences may be excused, and those for good reasons.
2. Show evidence of a true Christian life while in attendance at this School.
3. Complete at least the entire final year of his/her studies. A minimum of fifteen (15) hours of classroom study at this school
4. Maintain a satisfactory record of Christian service while in attendance.
5. Manifest correct and effective used of the English language.
6. Satisfactorily complete all prescribed work and meet all financial requirements and obligations before the day of graduation.

Absences
Students are allowed as many excused absences from any class as equals the number of hours of class sessions per week. Absences in excess carry a penalty of .5 grade points each, in that course. Absences occasioned by providential intervention may be excused. In no case may credit be granted for the course when the student has missed more than one-sixth (1/6) of the total number of class sessions. THREE UNEXCUSED TARDINESSES will have the same result as one unexcused absence.

Withdrawal from School
A student who finds it necessary to withdraw from the College must secure from the Registrar’s Office a withdrawal form and have same duly signed by Administrative Dean. Illegal withdrawal from any course of instruction, or from the College may result in automatic forfeiture of any tuition which might otherwise be due him or her.
