COURSE PAPERS

Papers: All reports, summaries, thesis and dissertations must be prepared in accordance with the MLA Style Guide. Work submitted for credit must adhere to the following standards.

· Type written or printed by computer
· Double-spaced
· Size 12 font
· Times New Roman or Arial font face
· One-inch margins on all sides
· Consistent with other requirements of the MLA Style Guide

Title, endnotes, and bibliography pages cannot be counted toward required length of the paper. Any requests for variation from these standards must be made in writing and sent to the International Offices of Kingsway Christian College & Theological Seminary.

RESEARCH AND PLAGIARISM

The Word of God is our final authority in all areas, therefore it is assumed that academic honesty will prevail. Webster’s New World Dictionary defines plagiarism as literary theft, forgery, fraud, to take (ideas, writings, etc.) from (another) and pass them off as one’s own. While reference works, the Internet and other media are excellent tools; Kingsway Christian College & Theological Seminary requires that all work submitted by a student for grading and/or evaluation be the result of their own writing efforts and creative processes. We encourage you to use all available information to support your work; you must clearly identify quotes and excerpts from another author and properly credit the source. Be advised that plagiarism in any form is prohibited. Any work containing plagiarized materials will be returned for resubmission and your grade will be adversely affected. Any deliberate or continuing plagiarism will result in the student receiving a grade of “F” for that particular course and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.

REPEATING A COURSE

A student who has a grade of "D" in a required course must repeat the course in order to graduate. A student may elect to repeat any other course. When a course is repeated the last grade points and credit hours earned replaces the previous grade points and credit hours in computing the grade point average. However, all grade entries on the transcript remain a part of the students permanent record.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

To receive a Diploma or Degree a student must:

     · Earn the required number of credit hours
     · Pay ALL outstanding fees and tuition fifteen working days before
        the student's graduation date.
      · Students who participate in a formal graduation ceremony must pay 
        for additional charges fifteen working days before the graduation date.

     NOTE: There are two formal graduation dates: one in May and the other in October.
