Regular college textbooks or books written by great men of God are used by the college in most courses offered. Study guides and other materials are provided to aid the student in making an in-depth analysis of the subject material in each chapter of the text. Some courses include study guides, some chapter analysis, and in some cases, cassette tapes are provided.

Special course completion options can be made available for those who have special needs. Contact the college office if you would like more information.

All courses offered in ESL Bible College External Degree program are designed to be equivalent to resident work. However, correspondence work requires much more discipline and self motivation to complete.

Completing a Course

External Degree studies are different than the classroom. In the classroom one studies several courses at a time. In our program we prefer that the student complete one or two courses at a time and then move on to another course until the entire program is completed.

We suggest that the student endeavor to complete two two-hour courses each month. At this pace the student studying by correspondence can complete the same amount of materials at home as the student in a classroom. Slow students are allowed to work at their own pace. ESL Bible College does request that the slow student contact the school at least each 30 days and give a report of his progress.

Should the student fail to contact the school and no communication is received over a period of six months, the student will be placed on an inactive list and a fee will be required to reactivate one’s file. Failure to communicate with the school does not relieve the student from making his or her monthly tuition payments.

Withdrawal Procedure

If a student desires to withdraw from the college or drop a program of study, it must be done within 15 days after receiving the course materials. The student should call the college and notify the school of his or her intentions, get approval, and then return the packet of materials. If this procedure is followed, all moneys paid to the college will be returned except the application/ evaluation fee and the registration fee. If a student withdraws without notification of the college president or executive vice-president, or if the withdrawal is requested after the 15 days have expired no refund will be made.

Preparing Lessons and Mailing

ESL Bible College requests of all students that they present all lesson materials to the grading office prepared and written on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper, written only on one side. The school prefers that all lessons be typewritten. If it is not possible to type out the work then the student may submit it handwritten provided that all work is neat and readable.

All work submitted to the school should contain the students name, course title and address. The student is asked to make a copy of all his work in case the work is lost in mailing. When answering a question on the study guide or from the text, the student should include the question on his own paper and under each question write the answer. Each page should be numbered.

The student must pay the postage on all lessons sent to the school for grading and provide a return envelope with the proper postage for returning the graded material. Insufficient postage will be charged to the student’s account and must be reimbursed by the student. All completed lessons should be mailed in to the college office as soon as completed.
