Standards of Conduct
As a community of Christian leaders, Carroll Institute seeks to maintain high standards of integrity in all areas of life, including academic work, ministry, and community relationships. Given these objectives, students are expected to maintain appropriate personal standards and use wise judgment in matters pertaining to personal conduct. Any set of community conduct standards may contain elements with which some of its members disagree. Nevertheless, out of a desire to encourage an environment appropriate to its purposes, respect for its heritage, and concern for the values of its constituency, B. H. Carroll Theological Institute has established the following behavioral guidelines for all students.

Practices that are not in keeping with Scriptural teachings and wholesome Christian lifestyle, such as dishonesty, theft, sexual misconduct and harassment, use of pornography, profanity, racism, and infringement on the rights of others are considered serious violations of the standards of conduct and will not be condoned.

In a Christian academic community, academic dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, and misappropriation of library materials, is regarded as a serious violation of standards of conduct.

Abuse of one's body is inappropriate for any Christian. Students will refrain from the possession or use of harmful substances, intoxicants, and all illegal drugs.

Christians are expected to show respect for governmental authority. Students are therefore expected to uphold the laws of the local community, the state, and the nation.

Students are expected to refrain from all practices that are questionable and encourage exposure to demeaning social relationships.

Carroll Institute values a community environment that is free from all forms of discrimination and harassment. Therefore, discrimination and harassment of any type will not be tolerated by the institution. Those found in violation will be subject to disciplinary action.

In order to facilitate orderly community life, students are expected to abide by other procedural rules and regulations as announced.

For Readers
A "Reader" at Carroll Institute takes courses much like an auditor in other institutions. Individuals who elect to take courses as a Reader may attend class sessions, receive class materials, participate in class discussions and activities, and have access to the online eLibrary. Courses attended by Readers, however, do not apply toward course of study requirements and are not transcriptable. Individuals who become Readers should only do so after determining that they do not want to apply the course(s) toward a program of study for a degree.

Withdrawal Policy
Students who withdraw from a class during the first 4 weeks will receive a "W" withdrawal. Students who withdraw after 4 weeks will receive a failing grade (F).

If the course is not completed by the end of the 4th additional week, the incomplete automatically becomes a failing grade (F). If there are extraordinary circumstances, a student may petition the Senior Fellows for an exception to this policy.
