of Bachelor of Science, BS, degrees. However, sometimes a
student‟s previous general education course work is better suited to a
Bachelor of Arts, BA, degree. If you would prefer to earn a BA degree,
please contact the Registrar, at 1.800.872.0176 ext. 4397 or
tthomason@bluefield.edu.

week semester in order for the student to be eligible for financial aid.

automatic. Student‟s desiring to register for these courses must do so
through their MyBC account, after registration has been opened for the
coming semester.

Participation and Drop Policy for inSPIRE Program Specific and General
Education Courses

• The semester officially begins Monday, May 7th. (As a convenience to our students, the classes will
open to participation beginning Saturday, May 5th. )

• A student must participate (respond to a discussion thread or complete an assignment) by 9:00
p.m. of the second day of the semester/term to be considered enrolled.

• Failure to participate by 9:00 p.m. of the second day of the semester/term will result in an administrative
withdrawal and courses will be deleted from the student‟s permanent academic record. (See the Tuition
and Fees section of the catalog for the refund policy.)

• Once a student participates in an online course, it is his or her responsibility to withdraw from the college
or drop a course by officially notifying the Registrar‟s Office in writing. Charges and financial aid will be
adjusted according to the refund policy (prorated) at that point.

• Once enrollment has begun, failure to continue participating in class, without official notification of
withdrawal, earns a grade of „F‟. Full tuition charges will apply.

• Faculty monitor student participation and report to the Registrar‟s Office on a weekly basis.

Financial Aid Steps

       Financial Assistance may be available to help you pay for your inSPIRE online program.
                                 We can help you obtain federal and state aid.

 Complete the FAFSA on the Web.       www.fafsa.gov

 Obtain a PIN number to electronically sign your FAFSA     www.pin.ed.gov

 If you are a Virginia Resident, complete the application form for the 12-13 Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant, and submit it
to the Financial Aid Office by July 31 to assure funding. Late applications are accepted through December 1 (awarded only
if state funds are available). The form is available on the BC website. The estimated award for 2012-13 is currently $1,400
for Fall and $1,400 for Spring.

 So that we may better understand how to proceed with your financial aid, we ask that you complete a Tuition & Fees
Agreement. The form is available on our website. This important form also helps us know who we can speak with
regarding your financial matters under the Federal Educational Right to Privacy Act.

 The Federal government selects around one-third of federal aid applicants for a process called Verification. If you are
selected, we will need copies of your signed tax documents, W-2‟s, and a signed Verification Worksheet. We will notify you
if you have been selected, and ask for additional paperwork. If you are selected for Verification for the subsequent
semester (Fall 2012 and beyond), the paperwork required for verification has changed. We will be in touch with you over
the Summer as needed to collect the Verification documents for the 12-13 school year.




                                                                                               14
Federal Student Loans

 If you apply for federal aid and wish to receive federal loans, there will be a number of
                               additional steps to complete.


 You must first complete the FAFSA and be eligible to receive Federal Direct Student
Loans.

 We will examine your eligibility based on past loans, grade level, dependency, and
load/status.

 You will need to complete a Loan Request Form and submit it to the Financial Aid
Office.

 You will need to complete a Master Promissory Note at www.studentloans.gov

 You will need to complete Entrance Counseling at www.studentloans.gov




                                                                      15
Financial Aid Reminders

 Use your MyBC account online to keep up-to-date on your financial aid and school account. You
can see your financial aid awards on MyBC as well as any missing documents that may be holding
up your financial aid processing or disbursements.

 You will need to apply for aid each year by completing the Renewal FAFSA. This may be
completed as early as January for the upcoming Fall/Spring/Summer academic year. We ask
inSPIRE students to complete the Renewal FAFSA by March 15, but no later than the end of June to
ensure their aid is in place for the new year.

 You can only receive financial aid at one school per semester. If taking courses at a community
college or other school, ensure you only seek financial aid from one institution.

 You must be enrolled in a full semester to receive financial aid. For inSPIRE, a semester is made
up of two 8-week terms.

 You must be at least half time in a semester to receive federal loans.




                                                                             16
Financial Aid Reminders                         (cont.)


 You must be a Virginia resident and a full-time student to receive the Virginia Tuition
Assistance Grant (VTAG), and it is only available for Fall and Spring semesters.

 Our accelerated degree-completion program often spans more than the traditional
two semesters per academic year. If you receive Pell grants or federal loans, speak to
us about spreading your financial aid over 3 semesters rather than 2, so that you have
enough aid to cover your charges for all semesters.

 If you have to drop a course or withdraw entirely from school, be sure to complete the
proper paperwork and withdraw officially. Failure to do so could leave you owing a large
balance.

Be sure to read all letters, emails, phone calls, & requests we send you. Your $$
depends on it!

Manual contains a standardized procedural writing protocol using a set of
style rules and that has become the basic platform for scholarly writing
used by business, psychology and the social sciences.

taught in the inSPIRE program.

THE HONOR CODE AT BLUEFIELD COLLEGE
               "Honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.” Proverbs, 29:23


Bluefield College is committed to the pursuit of truth, the dissemination of knowledge, and
the high ideals of personal honor and respect for the rights of others. These goals can
only be achieved in a setting in which intellectual honesty and personal integrity are highly
valued and other individuals are respected. This academic code of conduct reflects our
corporate and earnest desire to live lives of honor that are above reproach, based upon
Christian principles. Each member of the community is called upon to understand and
agree to its concepts and to operate within its spirit.
Honor is an ideal and an obligation that exists in the human spirit and lives in the relations
between human beings. An honorable person shall not lie or cheat or steal.
In all scholarly work produced by community members, academic honesty is inherent and
apparent, the work being the original work of the author unless credit is given through the
use of citations and references.
In all relationships, the college community expects respect and integrity between its
members and toward all peoples and organizations. Honesty and civility are required
elements of an effective learning environment. Truthfulness and respect for others are
shared values of Bluefield College and are expected characteristics of its members.
Continued on the next slide:



                                                                       39
THE HONOR CODE AT BLUEFIELD COLLEGE
               "Honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.” Proverbs, 29:23


Continued from the previous slide:

Students at Bluefield College commit to the ideals of integrity, individual responsibility, and
mutual respect when they sign the Honor Code during freshman orientation.
The Honor Code affirms the core values of Bluefield College to “develop students‟
potential through academic excellence and the intentional integration of faith, the liberal
arts and professional studies;” and to “create a caring community characterized by
respect, support and encouragement for each member of our College community.”


Membership in the student body of Bluefield College means agreeing to follow
those standards of conduct which govern an honorable person in every walk of life.
Because the integrity of degrees granted by Bluefield College depends upon the
Honor Code, all students in every class must regard themselves as bound by their
honor not to cheat in any form. “Honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.”




                                                                        40

  • 14. Financial Aid Steps Financial Assistance may be available to help you pay for your inSPIRE online program. We can help you obtain federal and state aid.  Complete the FAFSA on the Web. www.fafsa.gov  Obtain a PIN number to electronically sign your FAFSA www.pin.ed.gov  If you are a Virginia Resident, complete the application form for the 12-13 Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant, and submit it to the Financial Aid Office by July 31 to assure funding. Late applications are accepted through December 1 (awarded only if state funds are available). The form is available on the BC website. The estimated award for 2012-13 is currently $1,400 for Fall and $1,400 for Spring.  So that we may better understand how to proceed with your financial aid, we ask that you complete a Tuition & Fees Agreement. The form is available on our website. This important form also helps us know who we can speak with regarding your financial matters under the Federal Educational Right to Privacy Act.  The Federal government selects around one-third of federal aid applicants for a process called Verification. If you are selected, we will need copies of your signed tax documents, W-2‟s, and a signed Verification Worksheet. We will notify you if you have been selected, and ask for additional paperwork. If you are selected for Verification for the subsequent semester (Fall 2012 and beyond), the paperwork required for verification has changed. We will be in touch with you over the Summer as needed to collect the Verification documents for the 12-13 school year. 14
  • 15. Federal Student Loans If you apply for federal aid and wish to receive federal loans, there will be a number of additional steps to complete.  You must first complete the FAFSA and be eligible to receive Federal Direct Student Loans.  We will examine your eligibility based on past loans, grade level, dependency, and load/status.  You will need to complete a Loan Request Form and submit it to the Financial Aid Office.  You will need to complete a Master Promissory Note at www.studentloans.gov  You will need to complete Entrance Counseling at www.studentloans.gov 15
  • 16. Financial Aid Reminders  Use your MyBC account online to keep up-to-date on your financial aid and school account. You can see your financial aid awards on MyBC as well as any missing documents that may be holding up your financial aid processing or disbursements.  You will need to apply for aid each year by completing the Renewal FAFSA. This may be completed as early as January for the upcoming Fall/Spring/Summer academic year. We ask inSPIRE students to complete the Renewal FAFSA by March 15, but no later than the end of June to ensure their aid is in place for the new year.  You can only receive financial aid at one school per semester. If taking courses at a community college or other school, ensure you only seek financial aid from one institution.  You must be enrolled in a full semester to receive financial aid. For inSPIRE, a semester is made up of two 8-week terms.  You must be at least half time in a semester to receive federal loans. 16
  • 17. Financial Aid Reminders (cont.)  You must be a Virginia resident and a full-time student to receive the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant (VTAG), and it is only available for Fall and Spring semesters.  Our accelerated degree-completion program often spans more than the traditional two semesters per academic year. If you receive Pell grants or federal loans, speak to us about spreading your financial aid over 3 semesters rather than 2, so that you have enough aid to cover your charges for all semesters.  If you have to drop a course or withdraw entirely from school, be sure to complete the proper paperwork and withdraw officially. Failure to do so could leave you owing a large balance. Be sure to read all letters, emails, phone calls, & requests we send you. Your $$ depends on it! 17

  • 39. THE HONOR CODE AT BLUEFIELD COLLEGE "Honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.” Proverbs, 29:23 Bluefield College is committed to the pursuit of truth, the dissemination of knowledge, and the high ideals of personal honor and respect for the rights of others. These goals can only be achieved in a setting in which intellectual honesty and personal integrity are highly valued and other individuals are respected. This academic code of conduct reflects our corporate and earnest desire to live lives of honor that are above reproach, based upon Christian principles. Each member of the community is called upon to understand and agree to its concepts and to operate within its spirit. Honor is an ideal and an obligation that exists in the human spirit and lives in the relations between human beings. An honorable person shall not lie or cheat or steal. In all scholarly work produced by community members, academic honesty is inherent and apparent, the work being the original work of the author unless credit is given through the use of citations and references. In all relationships, the college community expects respect and integrity between its members and toward all peoples and organizations. Honesty and civility are required elements of an effective learning environment. Truthfulness and respect for others are shared values of Bluefield College and are expected characteristics of its members. Continued on the next slide: 39
  • 40. THE HONOR CODE AT BLUEFIELD COLLEGE "Honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.” Proverbs, 29:23 Continued from the previous slide: Students at Bluefield College commit to the ideals of integrity, individual responsibility, and mutual respect when they sign the Honor Code during freshman orientation. The Honor Code affirms the core values of Bluefield College to “develop students‟ potential through academic excellence and the intentional integration of faith, the liberal arts and professional studies;” and to “create a caring community characterized by respect, support and encouragement for each member of our College community.” Membership in the student body of Bluefield College means agreeing to follow those standards of conduct which govern an honorable person in every walk of life. Because the integrity of degrees granted by Bluefield College depends upon the Honor Code, all students in every class must regard themselves as bound by their honor not to cheat in any form. “Honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.” 40
