Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary has met the criteria for approval for the Veterans Education under the provision of Title 38, United States code, Section 1776. The following special provisions for veterans have been adopted by the school: Leave Leave of absence is granted only to students who wish to temporarily interrupt their training for personal reasons. A request for leave must be made in advance in writing, or time away from school will be considered an unexcused absence. The Veterans Administration will be notified immediately when a veteran student is granted a leave of absence. Absence An excused absence is one that is due to illness, death in the immediate family, and any other unavoidable circumstances; however, the school must be apprised of the reason for said absences within twenty-four hours, and the reason must be supported by documentary evidence, or said absences will be recorded as unexcused. Three unexcused absences in any one month will result in immediate dismissal. All students must attend 85% of the course in order to attain satisfactory attendance. When a student has missed over 15% of the duration of the course by excused and/or unexcused absences, his training will be immediately interrupted. Class cuts Class cuts are not permitted and shall be recorded as unexcused absences. Make-up work Make-up work is not permitted for the purposes of receiving Veterans Administration training allowances. Tardiness Any student not physically present at the start of his scheduled class period will be considered tardy, and the exact number of minutes will be recorded. Excessive tardiness, such as three times unexcused in any five-day period, shall be cause for discontinuance of training. Unsatisfactory progress Students receiving failing grades are placed on probation for sixty days. If unsatisfactory progress continues beyond the probationary period, the student's training will be immediately interrupted and all concerned will be notified accordingly. Students dismissed because of unsatisfactory progress may apply for reentrance; however, each case will be considered on the basis of the facts involved. Refund policy In the event a war orphan or eligible person fails to enter the course, or withdraws or is discontinued therefrom at any time prior to completion, the amount charged to the veteran for tuition, fees, and other charges for a portion of the course shall not exceed the approximate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees, and other charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to its total length. Credit for previous education and training Appropriate credit is given for comparable previous education and training, and the training period will be shortened accordingly. |
