Even though NCIU is a distance-learning education institution, and as such, does not support a physical traditional resident campus, it is none the less a faith-based institution of higher learning. Therefore, all NCIU enrolled students are expected to hold firmly to certain standards of conduct as part of the ethos of the college community.
NCIU seeks primarily to admit students who have already received salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone, and desire to prepare themselves for a lifetime of effective Christian ministry. All students must be able to accept and agree with a clear conscience the Statement of Faith adhered to by NCIU.
The receipt of a signed student’s registration (Letter of Acceptance) is regarded as an agreement to abide by the college’s specific guidelines detailed in the student handbook in terms of the student’s obligation to adhere to prescribed requirements of spiritual formation, and standards of academic diligence, integrity and truthfulness.
NCIU recognizes that while such man-made regulations cannot improve an individual’s standing with Christ, they can strengthen the life and testimony of both the student and the college he or she represents.
At the core of those standards is the demonstration of the evidence of a Christian life both in the working world and marketplace, as well as within the Christian community to which the student belongs.
We further show by our adherence to these standards our willingness to submit to God and those appointed over for the development of our character and spiritual formation, to become like Christ, as mature sons and daughters.
