ACCREDITATION STATUS

OBC is not accredited under rules promulgated and adopted by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education or by any national or regional accrediting agency which is recognized by the State of Oklahoma or the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. We believe that institutions such as OBC, which train young men and young ladies for the ministry of Jesus Christ, should not be under the direct authority or control of the state. Accordingly, OBC does not grant college degrees as defined by Oklahoma statute. Therefore, transfer of courses from OBC to other institutions is at the discretion of the receiving institution.

NOTE TO VETERANS Veterans interested in receiving VA educational benefits should email ([email protected]) or call (405-943-3334) the college office and leave a message for the registrar. FOREIGN STUDENTS

This school is authorized under Federal law to enroll non-immigrant students. All foreign students must fill out both applications (call the college office for details) and follow entrance requirements at least 3-4 months prior to attending OBC.

NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY

OBC admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at this school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, financial assistance programs, and school administered athletic programs. FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT

OBC subscribes to and adheres to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and has developed interim policies and procedures for the implementation of the Act. The Act provides for a hearing procedure so the student can request to amend entries to his or her educational records. OBC maintains the following types of comprehensive records about individual students: applications for admission, transcripts, and financial records filed at the college office. Other records are maintained in the various offices and units of the college where the student has requested and/or received certain services to participate in certain programs. Department heads are the designated custodians for these records. A hearing procedure is provided for students who request to amend entries in their records. Persons desiring additional information about these college policies and procedures should call or write the office of the dean. CATALOG

The official OBC catalog is promulgated and maintained only online through the OBC portion of the Windsor Hills Baptist Church (WHBC) website and is the only catalog recognized by the administration. The first edition online is available on November 30, 2013, while subsequent editions become available as the administration directs. All pages in the catalog are annotated with edition number and promulgation date. Students enter and remain under guidelines of the edition in force at the time of initial registration (subsequent initial registration(s), if a former student), except that students may elect to change to and remain under the then current official edition at the time of a formal change of academic major. MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT - DR. TOM VINEYARD

Thank you for taking the time to look through our catalog. Please allow me just a few moments to tell you why you should choose Oklahoma Baptist College as the place where God would have you to train for the ministry. First and foremost, OBC is a school for preachers. For almost four decades, young men have been learning and training here in the Biblical discipline of sermon preparation and preaching. Pastoral Theology, Missions, and Evangelism majors prepare and preach three sermons each week, as well as participating in the monthly School of the Prophets. Graduates gain more than

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 6 just a diploma. They are equipped with sound doctrine and Biblical preaching experience. We are also a missions-hearted school. Having been missionaries in Africa for fifteen years, my wife and I can personally attest that the training we received at OBC prepared both of us not only to reach and train nationals, but also to educate our own children on the foreign field. Moreover, our foreign missions trips with college staff provide students first-hand experience (as well as course credit) to make a difference while still in college. Finally, language studies in Spanish, French, Russian, and German significantly complement an already thorough missions program. Because OBC is a local church ministry, students may gain practical training in several additional fields. Our Deaf Department offers courses for both deaf and hearing students under state (QAST) certified instructors. Our Education Department affords students the opportunities to student teach in a Christian school under teachers having as many as 25 years’ experience. With their respective department heads having a combined 75 plus years of experience in local church ministries, our bus ministry, youth, and music departments are among the best in the country. Come make a difference with us for such a time as this! ADMINISTRATION Dr. Tom Vineyard - President; Pastor of Windsor Hills Baptist Church Dr. James A.

Ross – Open Door Baptist Church – Mesquite, Texas MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT - DR. JOE FINN In today's world there are greater challenges for the child of God than ever before. These challenges must be met by men and women who are good servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. A good servant will have a humble spirit along with the character, discipline, and tenacity to finish the task set before him. For over thirty-five years Oklahoma Baptist College has been in the business of training soldiers and servants of Jesus Christ. It has been our privilege to work with some of the finest young people in America. The reward is to see these graduates leave the college and go literally all over the world preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Could it be that God has placed such a burden on your heart? We can promise you that we will do everything in our ability and by God's grace to see that you receive the best possible training. As you look through this catalog, may God use it as a tool to allow you to consider OBC your training ground for Christ and His service. If we can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

THE PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE OF OBC OBC is, first of all, a Christian institution and is, therefore, a spiritual organization. This institution was brought into existence by WHBC. Secondly, OBC is an educational institution. The pastor, deacons, and membership of WHBC, under the leadership of God's Holy Spirit, established OBC to provide training for Christian young people in four fields: pastoral and related full-time Christian ministerial training, missions, evangelism, and Christian education. Recognizing the definite need in our nation for more pastors to lead and otherwise aid the rapidly growing fundamentalist movement, OBC was born to provide, for those men who are called of God to preach His Word, a high standard of theological training that is characteristically fundamental in nature and evangelical in practice. Furthermore, seeing that the philosophy and purpose of public education (pre-school through university) is primarily secular in nature and humanistic in philosophy, the fundamentalists in our nation have developed an alternative system of education to provide training for their children, which is in keeping with their faith, convictions, and values. Therefore, OBC, being a part of the Christian education movement, is primarily spiritual in nature and theistic in philosophy. The contrast between these two systems is not brought about for critical purposes, but for the purpose of establishing the fact that public education has become both secular and humanistic. Therefore, the fundamentalist Christians of WHBC had no alternative but to recognize the example of fundamentalist Christians throughout this nation and provide a system for training their children which was spiritual in nature and theistic in philosophy. Knowing that Christian schools can only be properly staffed by those who are in agreement with this basic purpose, principle, and philosophy, it is only natural that WHBC is determined to make OBC not only a theological institution, but also an institution for the training of Christian teachers for Christian schools. Fundamentalism and Christian education are symbiotic in relationship; that is, they are mutually dependent and mutually beneficial. Most fundamental churches which establish elementary and secondary schools cannot support an institution of higher learning. That fact demands that the larger churches in the fundamentalist movement provide such training and this, under God, is what WHBC and OBC are doing. Many fundamentalist churches are independent (without denominational support or membership) and they are, therefore, without denominational control. WHBC and OBC are not only independent of denominational support and control, they are also independent of government (local, state, and federal) support and control. Finally, the cornerstone of OBC's philosophy undergirding all is Jesus Christ. The centerpiece of our convictions is a person, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life . . . ." (John 14:6) The compass of our course of action and that which gives purpose and direction in the life of all Christians and Christian institutions is Jesus Christ and His Word, for He is "The Way". That which clarifies confusion is a knowledge of Jesus Christ and an understanding of His Word for He is "The Truth". And, that which gives eternal value to the Christian's efforts and existence is Jesus Christ Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 9 for He is "The Life". Since the heart of the philosophy of OBC is Jesus Christ and His Word, then it follows that the ultimate purpose of this institution is to train students to seek to do that which will glorify Him. Therefore, it is basic to our institutional existence and purpose that OBC offer its students that which will en- able them to understand God's plan and purpose for this age and where students best fit into that plan. In summary, the purposes of WHBC in establishing OBC are as follows:

1. To prepare pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and full-time Christian church workers (secretaries, musicians, youth workers, etc.) with a high standard of Biblical studies fundamental and evangelical in nature. 2. To teach, promote, and defend that body of Biblical truth held by Baptists through the ages. We believe in the inerrant authority of the Scripture as see forth in our doctrinal statement of faith. 3. To train teachers for the Christian schools of our state, region, and nation. The training given these future teachers will be academically sound, historically traditional, politically patriotic, practically evangelical, theologically fundamental, and thus consistent with what is preached from fundamentalist pulpits. The philosophic undergirding for OBC and its total educational program is the Word of God as found in the Holy Bible.

The yardstick by which OBC will measure everything that is taught and practiced is the Word of God. "Consistency, thou art a jewel." As far as is humanly possible, with the help of God, OBC shall strive to keep its teachings consistent with the fundamental interpretation of the Word of God. Because of the distinctively Christian philosophy and purpose of OBC, we do not consider ourselves to be in competition with any school, college, or university which is training people for full-time secular employment. There is no department of OBC which seeks to prepare graduates for secular service, state employment, federal government employment, or any other form of secular employment. We believe strongly in letting "the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God." Therefore, our theology graduates are prepared to serve God in the independent, fundamentalist Baptist churches of America, as opposed to those religious denominational churches which are more than willing to abdicate religious liberty to gain government favor. Our education majors will graduate to teach in the fundamentalist, church-centered, independent Christian schools. They understand that as a matter of the law, they will need to attend a state institution of higher learning to become certified, if they ever desire employment in the public educational system. Also, our music majors and secretarial students are preparing for full-time Christian work as musicians, music teachers, and secretaries in independent, fundamentalist Baptist churches and schools. Let it never be said by any of our friends or enemies that we have educated or conferred a diploma upon any student who has attended this sacred institution for any other purpose than that which is herein stated: to serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as full-time servants of His in the independent, fundamentalist Baptist church and school movement.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that every person connected with OBC is in agreement with our stated philosophy and purpose. THE CONTROL AND ADMINISTRATION OF OBC THE SPONSOR The ultimate control of Oklahoma Baptist College (OBC) is vested in the sponsoring church, Windsor Hills Baptist Church (WHBC) of 5517 Northwest 23rd Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73127. WHBC is an independent, fundamentalist Baptist church and is not affiliated with any religious denomination or convention. Through the strength and financial support of WHBC, OBC was established and has grown. However, there are various independent, fundamentalist Baptist churches across the nation, which send support to OBC on a monthly basis and all such support is welcomed. THE PRESIDENT The pastor of WHBC, Dr. Tom Vineyard, serves as President of OBC. Dr. Vineyard is an able executive, motivated by the spirit of service, and is an impartial administrator, who commands the respect of colleagues, benefactors, and students. The president is the administrative head of OBC. He is the sole official chairman of communications between the faculty and the church. He is the chief-executive officer of the administration and faculty for OBC. To the president is committed the care of the spiritual, educational, and faculty interests of OBC. The pastor, as President, is responsible for carrying out the purpose and plan of WHBC for OBC. It is his duty to represent OBC in public and in private. Also, he is solely responsible for the hiring of such faculty and other employees as is required from time to time by OBC. STATEMENT OF FAITH 1. We believe that the Bible is verbally inspired and that it is the final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and practice. We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation, and God's plan and purpose through the ages. 2. We believe that there is only one true and living God, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3. We believe in the deity, virgin birth, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. 4. We believe that salvation is "by grace," plus nothing and minus nothing. The conditions of salvation are repentance and faith. 5. We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 6. We believe in the personal, visible, and premillennial return of Jesus Christ.

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 11

7. We believe in the everlasting, conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost. 8. We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, converts the repentant, seals God's children, and endues them with soul-winning power. 9. We believe the so-called charismatic experience is both a doctrinal and practical error and, therefore, neither is to be sought nor practiced. 10. We believe that the Word of God is sufficient for doctrine and instruction in righteousness and that both Armenian and Calvinistic doctrines are to be shunned in favor of Bible doctrine. POSITION ON THE KING JAMES BIBLE The Bible is the verbally inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of the living God and is the final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and practice. Not only was it inspired when God caused it to be written, but it is preserved today. The King James Bible is the Word of God and is reliable, trustworthy, accurate, and proven. The King James Bible is the only Bible used and upheld in all teaching and preaching at OBC and is the only Bible sold in our bookstore. WHY OBC SHOULD BE YOUR CHOICE We are evangelistic. We believe that soul winning is near the heart of God. All teachers are required to go soul winning weekly. All students are required to witness for Christ. On-campus students and all staff members participate in the ministry of WHBC. Students who attend their own local church are required to participate fully in their church's activities. We are old-fashioned. We have a dress code, and we believe in discipline. We are fundamentalist without apology. We are separatists. Absolutely no drinking, smoking, dancing, card-playing, movie-going, or other questionable activities are allowed. We take a strict stand against the world and apostasy. We are practical. We blend the finest scholarship with the best practical teaching possible. We not only teach what to do, but also how to do it. Preacher boys are taught how to start churches, how to build buildings, how to raise money and adopt a budget, and how to organize, operate, and perpetuate a New Testament church. STUDENT ACTIVITIES/INFORMATION

OBC is alive with activities to supplement a student's education and to provide a break from classroom routine. These activities give students opportunities to use skills and principles which they have learned in the classroom. The activities provide Christian service opportunities while helping the individual student develop his own spiritual life and pattern of living.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE All students are required to participate in a variety of extracurricular Christian service activities sponsored by the church and college. These activities are under the direction of and attended by the administration and staff.

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 12

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP AND ATTENDANCE Students moving to the Oklahoma City area are required to join and attend WHBC. Students coming from churches of like faith and practice within the Oklahoma City area may keep their membership in their home churches and fulfill their Christian service assignments there. One of the most important goals of OBC is to impart to its students an energetic enthusiasm for the local church which has characterized the ministry of WHBC.

CHAPEL Chapel meets every day and is kept "hot" by the faculty and staff of the college. Many well-known preachers from across the United States and missionaries from around the world come to speak at OBC. All students in OBC attend chapel and take notes as a required part of their Christian service responsibilities and as an integral part of their Christian education curriculum. Dormitory students are required to attend chapel every day, while off-campus students are required to attend on the days their classes meet. Such training, however, although required to graduate, does not produce formal credit hours toward the diploma.

BUS MINISTRY The bus ministry gives the students the opportunity to learn first-hand what being a servant is all about. Students are not only taught about the ministry, but also how to be directly involved in the operation. All students are required to successfully complete training on a bus route for two initial semesters; however, such training, although required for graduation, does not produce formal credit hours toward the diploma. Dorm students must and all other students may elect to continue training on a bus route the rest of the time they are enrolled at OBC, which can produce formal credit hours toward the diploma. The bus ministry allows the students the privilege to be used by God as a soul winner in reaching many lost souls for Christ.

DORMITORY LIFE Our dormitories are maintained for students in order to provide economical lodging and to give students a "home away from home”. College policy requires all single students who are under twenty-five years of age and not the head of a household or living with a parent or guardian to live in the dormitory.

PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE WHBC and/or OBC are not responsible for nor do they carry insurance on the personal property of students living in the dormitories. Each student should get renter's insurance or be sure their personal property is covered by their parent’s homeowner’s policy.

MARRIED STUDENTS Students will find that being married and living off-campus does not mean being separated from all the activities of the college. Married couples are both permitted and encouraged to participate in as many groups and organizations as

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 13 they can. Married students have the same chapel, bus ministry, church, and class attendance rules and requirements as do single students.

HEALTH SERVICE All new students are required to have a physical examination within six months prior to enrollment. The college provides a medical form to be used by the student and his/her physician for this purpose. OBC does not accept any responsibility for illness or accidents in extracurricular activities or in sporting events on or off its campus.

MEDICAL/HOSPITALIZATION/SURGICAL INSURANCE All students, including foreign students, are required to have medical insurance (valid in the United States) through an individual, family, or group policy. All students must show proof of active health insurance at registration each semester. The college office will make a copy for the file of each student’s insurance card and benefits summary. Specific minimum requirements include major medical coverage with outpatient co-pays.

SPORTS OBC believes that all students should keep physically fit and provides physical education courses and athletic facilities for students' benefit and enjoyment. The college offers intermural basketball and other sports on demand.

AUTOMOBILES All students are allowed to have personally owned, rented, or company vehicles. Such students are required to purchase a parking sticker each year and provide proof of insurance and a valid driver's license. It is unlawful in the state of Oklahoma to drive an uninsured vehicle.

SUMMER DORMITORY REGULATIONS Students or former students, single and under twenty-five years of age, remaining in the Oklahoma City area during the summer months must reside with their parents or in the dormitory unless other arrangements are approved. All OBC rules apply (see current handbook).

RULES AND REGULATIONS Specific policies applying to the various areas of life on the campus and in residence halls are in the student handbook, which is given to each student at orientation. Students will find that the rules are reasonable and necessary for successful Christian living while enrolled in OBC. FINANCIAL INFORMATION TUITION AND ROOM/BOARD The registration of a student signifies that a student agrees to fulfill the related financial obligations through the end of the semester in which he is registered. Each student is responsible to pay for his own account. OBC takes

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 14 the position that it is a part of the education of the students to allow them the responsibility of handling their own financial commitments.

Items of Cost* Semester Yearly Tuition (12-16 hours) $1825.00 $3650.00 Room/Board $1775.00 $3550.00 TOTAL $3600.00 $7200.00

*Tuition for students taking less than 12 hours or more than 16 hours is $155.00 per hour. Tuition does not include books, classroom fees, or other items needed in each class. Room/Board does not include what an individual may spend on laundry and incidentals for the semester.

Any portion of a student's bill may be paid in advance. If a student pays his entire bill in full (tuition, room/board, and all fees) on registration day, the matriculation fee is waived. All payments must be made in US currency and all checks must be written on US banks.

These amounts do not include additional fees. The matriculation fee of $100 is due in full on registration day.

AUDITING A COURSE Students wishing to benefit from certain classes without taking them for credit may register for such classes on an "audit" basis. Auditing a course costs $90.00 per semester hour and entitles the student to attend all classes. Since a student auditing does not receive credit for the class, he/she is not required to take examinations or do outside assignments. No grade is given for the course. Students pursuing a college diploma should not audit courses.

REFUND POLICY A student withdrawing from OBC because of illness or other sufficient cause, whose withdrawal is officially approved, may receive a refund as follows:

Tuition: 75% refunded at the end of the first week of classes. 50% refunded at the end of the second week of classes. 25% refunded at the end of the third week of classes. There will be no refunds after the third week of classes.

Room/Board: Refunded at a flat rate per week for the unused portion of the semester.

Fees: No refund given on any fees or deposits.

In addition, OBC has a refund policy for veterans and other eligible persons enrolled under provisions of Title 38 (US Code) that provides a refund for the unused portion of tuition in the event the Title 38 student fails to enter the course, withdraws, or is discontinued therefrom at any time prior to completion. Such policy provides that the amount charged for the Title 38 student for tuition for a portion of the course shall not exceed the approximate pro-rated portion of the total charges for tuition that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to its total length. An amount not in excess of ten dollars for an established registration fee is not subject to refund or proration. Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 16

HOLIDAYS, BREAKS, AND SUMMER TIME Holiday, breaks, and summer stay are not included in the regular academic year; any student remaining on campus during these periods will be charged $14.00 per day for room/board permitting the kitchen is open. If the kitchen is closed during this time, the charge will be a flat-rate of $50 per week (no pro- rating). Dorm students remaining in Oklahoma City must stay in the dormitory, unless other arrangements are approved ahead of time by the administration. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Financial assistance (merit awards and work study program) is offered only to those students who are single, who are twenty-five years of age or younger, who have not completed their required classes in order to graduate, and who are taking at least a 12-hour course load not including auditing courses. A limited number of such opportunities are available. Merit awards and work study program opportunities are based on the student's needs, his/her respective church's recommendation, the college's consideration of the student's application, and the student's academic progression. Students who receive merit awards and/or participate in the work study program will receive the applicable discount from tuition up to 16 hours/semester. No combination of merit awards or work study program opportunities will exempt a student from paying at least 50% of their tuition and/or room/board from other sources. Combinations/limits are determined on an individual basis by the executive vice-president. Also, students placed on probation or suspension for any reason may not apply for or receive any merit awards or work study program opportunities until after the probation or suspension has been removed. If at any time a student becomes in arrears in his financial obligations, he/she then forfeits his privilege to receive any merit awards or work study program opportunities for the remainder of his/her studies at OBC.

ACADEMIC MERIT AWARD New students graduating at the top of their respective high school classes (minimum of ten students) will receive a 40% tuition discount for their first semester. Students may only apply within the first year following high school graduation. Applications must be received by the executive vice-president at least one month before registration.

ENSEMBLE MERIT AWARD Each year, OBC students audition for a position in one of the vocal groups. Young ladies (Melody Singers) and young men (Ambassadors) are selected by the administration to represent the college on tour during the summer and receive a monetary award. These awards reduce tuition for one full year by 50%. These awards are applied only after the student has completed the summer tour.

PASTOR’S CHILD MERIT AWARD OBC provides merit awards to the children of full-time evangelists, pastors, and missionaries. These awards reduce a young lady’s tuition per semester by

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 17

50% per semester and a young man's tuition by 25% per semester. Students must apply through the office of the executive vice-president each semester at least one month before registration.

WORK STUDY PROGRAM Many young ladies and some young men are provided the opportunity to work their way through college by working in custodial, food preparation, and secretarial areas of OBC. Applications for the work study program should be submitted to the office of the executive vice-president at least one month before registration. You must provide a copy of your valid driver's license or a State ID card and your social security card along with your application. Foreign students must provide a valid passport.

YOUTH CONFERENCE PREACHER BOY MERIT AWARD At the annual Youth Conference of WHBC, two senior high school preacher boys are chosen to receive merit awards to attend OBC.

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 18

6. Mail the completed packet to: OBC, 5517 NW 23rd, OKC, OK 73127. Be sure to include any merit award or work study program paperwork.

TRANSFER STUDENTS Transfer students should use the following checklist for transferring to OBC. Upon receiving all information, the college office will notify the prospective student, in writing, of his/her standing with OBC.

1. Complete steps 1 through 6 above (under First-Time Students). 2. Request each college or junior college attended to send a complete, official transcript directly to the college office.

Transfer students must be in good standing (academic, financial, etc.) at previous schools attended. Credit is given for all courses equivalent to courses offered in this catalog and for which a grade of "C" or better was earned. An evaluation of the transfer student's transcript must be made by the appropriate department head and approved by the registrar to determine acceptable credits as well as the student's classification. Transfer students having a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00 (semester basis) in all courses taken at all other schools will be accepted on academic probation. At least thirty (30) credits must be earned in residence at OBC to qualify for a diploma and graduate. FORMER STUDENTS Students not in attendance during the current or previous semester (excluding summer school session) must complete and bring up to date all first- time or transfer student entrance requirements as stated above. All necessary fees will need to be paid and then the student will be informed of their student classification.

CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Transcripts showing successful completion of correspondence courses of any kind are not normally accepted for credit toward the diploma programs. Any request for an exception to this policy must be made in writing to the dean; each exception must be approved by the administration on a one-time basis.

SPECIAL ADMISSIONS Recognizing that not all applicants will have educational backgrounds which fit the OBC application packet, the administration will consider applications on an individual basis. ACADEMIC INFORMATION STANDING A regular student is defined as one who has satisfied the entrance requirements and who has been informed of his regular standing by the college office. The regular student may be enrolled either part-time or full-time, but must be working toward a diploma. A conditional student is defined as one who has not completely satisfied the entrance or the continuance requirements and who has been informed of his

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 19 conditional standing by the college office. Applicants on conditional standing may attend college and will have one semester to meet the conditions. A special student is defined as one who is not working toward a diploma.

FULL-TIME/PART-TIME A full-time student.is enrolled in twelve or more hours per semester.

A part-time student is enrolled in less than twelve hours per semester.

ATTENDANCE All students, unless providentially hindered and approved by the administration, are expected to attend all scheduled classes on time. Classes missed the day before or after Labor Day, Thanksgiving holiday, Christmas break, and Spring break are counted as double absences (except for VA students).

EXAMINATIONS Students must take all examinations on the assigned dates. Make-up examinations, if expressly approved by the teacher, may be taken within one week of returning to class. There is a fee for make-up examinations. Students whose bills are in arrears may take their final examinations with special permission from the administration. However, the student must pay their bill in full no later than one week after the last day of the scheduled final examination week in order to receive credit for that semester.

TEST OUT EXAMINATION Selected regular students may take a proficiency examination (test out) to test their knowledge in courses reflecting certain basic disciplines upon payment of a non-refundable $35 testing fee and approval of the teacher. Upon successful completion (i.e., “test out" with a grade of “C” or better), the student will be awarded credit (CR; 0 grade points per semester hour) toward graduation. The test out must be completed during the first week of the semester the student is enrolled in the course. A student may only try to test out of a class one time. Credit will be posted on the transcript only after the normal tuition charge (less the $35 testing fee) for the course being tested out of has been received by the college during the semester that the test out took place.

ENGLISH PROFICIENCY It is the policy of OBC that all students rapidly develop a high degree of proficiency in the English language. Therefore, all students (including transfer students) are required to take an English placement test during enrollment at OBC. Those students passing, with at least a “C” (75%) or better, must enroll as soon as possible in En-103 (English Composition I) and En-113 (English Composition II) unless they have successfully completed an equivalent course(s) at an approved college or university, and OBC has received an official transcript denoting this achievement, and the registrar has specifically approved acceptance of the course(s) on an individual basis. Students not passing, receiving a 74% or lower, must enroll in En-100 (English Fundamentals) immediately; however, transfer students not passing, but Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 20 who have successfully completed En-103 (English Composition I) or equivalent at another institution, may enroll alternatively in En-103 (English Composition I). Such transfer students, following successful completion of En-103 (English Composition I) at OBC, may have any prior successful completion of En-113 (English Composition II) or equivalent at another institution approved for transfer.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS Missions students must take International Phonetics I and II their sophomore year and a foreign language (the language of the student’s prospective mission field has priority) each semester during their junior year. The male student may substitute Greek I & II in his junior year, if the language of his prospective mission field is not offered. Missions students already possessing a foreign language proficiency may be awarded up to 12 credit hours dependent upon successful completion of a language proficiency test (whether or not language training has been documented already by transcript or the student has grown up on or been to a foreign field) and applicability to the prospective mission field. Successful completion of the proficiency test must be certified in writing by the person/school who administered and graded the test. The certification must indicate the number of equivalent college semester hours recommended. Tuition charges apply when the proficiency test is administered and certified by an OBC language instructor. GRADING SYSTEM Grades are issued after final examinations. Mid-semester grades are intended as a guide to the student regarding his/her progress, but are not entered on the student's permanent record.

A (95-100) 4 grade points per semester hour B (85-94) 3 grade points per semester hour C (75-84) 2 grade points per semester hour D (65-74) 1 grade point per semester hour F (below 65) 0 grade points per semester hour P (Passing, no credit) 0 grade points per semester hour NP (Non-Passing, no credit) 0 grade points per semester hour WP (Withdrew passing) 0 grade points per semester hour WF (Withdrew failing) 0 grade points per semester hour CR (Credit) Given for successful completion of a proficiency examination. 0 grade points per semester hour AU (Audited, no credit) 0 grade points per semester hour

Generally, a grade point average (GPA) is computed by dividing the total grade points by the total number of earned semester hours; however, check with the administration for complete guidelines. Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 21

COURSE LOAD The normal full-time undergraduate course load is 12-16 credit hours per semester, depending upon the program in which the student is enrolled. The maximum course load is 20 hours. The following considerations apply. 1. Students on probation are restricted to 14 hours. 2. New freshmen and students with a grade point average of 2.0-3.0 may enroll in 16 hours. 3. Students with a grade point average of 3.0 or above may enroll in 17-18 hours. 4. Students with a grade point average of 3.8 or above may enroll in 19-20 hours. 5. Foreign students must enroll in 12 hours or more.

In determining the proper course load, students should consider the curriculum requirements of their major as well as their own ability to maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average. The registrar’s approval is necessary before any student is allowed to exceed the above course load limits.

COURSE WORK SCHEDULE One semester hour equals one hour of class attendance per week. For example: A 5-hour class meets 85 hours per semester and equals 5 credits. A 4-hour class meets 68 hours per semester and equals 4 credits. A 3-hour class meets 51 hours per semester and equals 3 credits. A 2-hour class meets 34 hours per semester and equals 2 credits. A 1-hour class meets 17 hours per semester and equals 1 credit.

Each semester consists of at least seventeen weeks. Course work leading to a diploma normally takes four years (eight semesters) to complete. Students are encouraged to attend summer sessions, which are designed to provide equivalent training and credit.

STUDENT CLASSIFICATION A freshman is a student who has satisfied entrance requirements and who has completed less than 28 credit hours. A sophomore is a student in good standing who has completed more than 27 but less than 60 credit hours. A junior is a student in good standing who has completed more than 59 but less than 94 credit hours. A senior is a student in good standing who has completed more than 93 credit hours.

SCHOLASTIC HONORS An honor roll list will be published naming those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.0 or higher for the semester grading period, except for students who do not obtain a “B” or better in En-100 (English Fundamentals).

Oklahoma Baptist College & Institute Official Catalog, 1st Ed., 1-2-14 Page | 22

GRADUATION HONORS To graduate with academic honors a student must have earned at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average for his entire academic record at OBC. The scholastic honors at OBC are as follows: Cum Laude (Honors) 3.25-3.49 grade point average Magna Cum Laude (High Honors) 3.50-3.74 grade point average Summa Cum Laude (Highest Honors) 3.75-4.00 grade point average

ACADEMIC PROBATION Students will be placed and remain on academic probation whenever their semester grade point average (GPA) and/or their cumulative GPA falls or remains below 2.0. New students accepted on academic probation must achieve at least a "C" (2.0) average for their first semester (or at least 12 credit hours) of academic work to have the academic probation removed. All students on probation are required to meet with their department head on a weekly basis. Department heads and faculty will make every effort to help students achieve their full potential.

ACADEMIC SUSPENSION Students will be suspended from enrollment if either their semester GPA or their cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 for three consecutive semesters, unless their cumulative GPA is increasing.

TRANSCRIPTS An official transcript will be sent at the student's request to educational institutions or bona fide personnel offices for a fee of $10.00 each. Official transcripts will not be issued directly to the student. Transcripts will not be issued for students whose financial accounts are not current.

COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM Course numbers consist of two letters and three digits. The letters designate the department. The first digit indicates the year, the second digit indicates the course sequence with even being fall and odd being spring. The last digit represents the number of credit hours earned in that course. Freshmen normally take “100” courses; Sophomores, “200” or “100” courses; Juniors, “300” or “200” courses; and Seniors, “400” or “300” courses. Exceptions to this pattern must be authorized by the student's advisor. In no case may a student take upper division required courses with less than ten hours of lower division courses completed.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Diplomas offered: Graduate of Music Education - Elementary Graduate of Music Education – Secondary Total Credit Hours: 128

The purpose of the OBC Music Department is to train young men and women in an environment that promotes both high scholarship and Christian character. The Music Department upholds the views and standards of WHBC.

There are four types of music. Music with:

1. The wrong words, the wrong music. 2. The wrong words, the right music. 3. The right words, the wrong music. 4. The right words, the right music.

Students are guided towards the fourth type of music. The Music Department does not allow the study or performance of any borderline or questionable music. After completing his/her education, the graduate will become responsible for the direction his church or Christian school will take musically. The question the Music Department asks is "Will his church or school take the careful, separated route of number four above or will it take the easy, broad road of the first three types?" Oklahoma Baptist College will do everything in its power to assure that students take the careful, separated route.

The Music Education major must:

1. Specialize in either applied piano or applied voice every semester except the final semester. 2. Enroll for a minimum of two semesters in the other music specialization (applied piano or applied voice).
