Attendance Policy
From the CBS Catalog:
“Students are allowed to miss 20% of all class time without
penalty. Absences in excess of 20% of class time will result in
an automatic ‘F.’”
Work Load ExpectationsExpect to spend an average of 3 hours per week outside of class studying for every
hour you are in the class.
3 credit class = 9 hours of study per week 2 credit class = 6 hours of study per week
This is different for everyone, but the rule is generally true.
PLAN ACCORDINGLY!
If possible, make use of electronic libraries, such as Logos (www.logos.com), Accordance (www.accordancebible.com), or BibleWorks (www.bibleworks.com)
Students Rights As a CBS student, you have many rights, including, but not limited to, the:
1. Right to be informed, in writing, of all charges. 2. Right to choose not to discuss charges. 3. Right to adequately defend himself/herself by use of witnesses, video tapes, or other means directly related to the case. 4. Right to an open hearing, if one is required.
Student Responsibilities: Academic Integrity
CBS expects the highest level of academic integrity from our students. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense against a student’s character and testimony. It can include, but is not limited to:• Cheating• Plagiarism• Copying from another student’s paper• Using a marked Bible when an unmarked Bible was
instructed• Giving and completing assignments to and for other
students• Giving information to another student during
examinations• Obtaining information from a student who has
already taken the examination• Submitting as original research, a paper from another
class or a paper that another student has submitted for any class
Student Responsibilities: Personal Integrity (cont.)
The following is a limited, not an exhaustive, list of offenses that will require a student conduct review and if necessary, sanctions imposed:• The possession, use, or distribution of alcoholic
beverages, tobacco products, illicit drugs, and other questionable items and practices is not considered suitable for the Christian college campus.
• Any discrimination against others on the basis of race, national origin, gender, age, or disability is not acceptable.
• Students are subject to the responsibility of academic integrity, which demands honesty and giving credit to the proper sources.
PlagiarismUsing someone else’s work and not giving credit, but presenting it as if it was your work.
• Copying and Pasting from a website without citing your source.
• Taking a quote from a book/article/site, etc. and not citing sources.
“All initial incidents of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of “F” on the assignment in question, and may subject the student to course failure. Consequently, the incident will be reported to the Academic Dean.
Subsequent incidents will result in disciplinary action by the Dean of Students and possible expulsion from the College. In this circumstance, the student has the right to appeal the decision of the Dean of Students.”
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL PLAGIARISM BE TOLERATED.

Student Conduct
Students at CBS are called to a high standard of Christian conduct. Christian commitment should result naturally in godly living. However, the biblical doctrine of human nature requires a realistic approach to the question of Christian lifestyle. Faculty, staff, and students are expected to abide by standards and principles founded in the Holy Scriptures.
