2.2 Bursar
The College Bursar is Richard Davis who is assisted by Monika Davis. The Bursar’s role is that of the administration of College finances and as far as students are concerned this largely relates to the payment of fees. The Bursar will also be able to advise you on grants and student loans.

2.3 Dean of Students
The Dean of Students is Steven Jenkins. His main responsibility is overseeing all aspects of student life with a special focus on pastoral care. Your life at College can and should be a life-changing experience and we want you to enjoy God’s blessing on your daily life at Mattersey. However, living in a close environment with the inevitable pressure of study and the daily routine of College life can sometimes detract from your relationship with God. Because of this problems can arise. If they do, Steven and his team are available to help. Please note that other members of faculty are also willing to help you in any way they can. If you feel that you need specialised help we recommend that you do not seek it outside of College without first consulting the Dean of Students. Steven’s responsibilities also include the monitoring of all matters relating to leave of absence, punctuality and attendance at Chapel etc. He also monitors the attitude and behaviour of students in all areas of College life including any domestic duties as allocated by the Residence Co-ordinators. He is to be consulted with regard to relationships with the opposite sex – see Section 5.2. Please note that the Dean of Students has authority to impose fines upon students who persistently infringe College regulations. The Principal shall retain overall supervision and control of all matters of discipline and other aspects of College life. Serious breaches of discipline or persistent bad behaviour will be reported to him and may result in suspension or expulsion from College. (A student who is suspended from College will not be permitted to sit examinations or use any College facilities for the period of the suspension. Essay deadlines, however, must be adhered to.)

2.4 Vice Principal
Glenn Balfour is available to give guidance and advice to students on their College courses and course work. He is also available to offer advice to students contemplating further studies after leaving Mattersey Hall. Please be aware that students should consult the Vice Principal and the Dean of Students before considering any part-time employment during term-time.

8

2.5 Senior Students
Senior Students are nominated by students and Faculty but are appointed by the Principal. The names of this year's Senior Students are to be found in Section 2.1. Their purpose is to fulfil, in some measure, a pastoral role towards their fellow-students by, amongst other things: • helping you with routine difficulties you may have • keeping the Dean of Students’ team informed of student interests and opinions • maintaining discipline where necessary. In this respect they act with the full authority of the faculty and should be respected accordingly • organizing campus events • bringing change to campus life where necessary • reporting sickness and absence to the Residence Co-ordinators and Dean • making announcements etc

2.6 Student Representatives
One male and one female student representative is appointed to represent each student year. Student reps are appointed at the start of each academic year, by the respective student year group. They deal with academic matters and academic-related matters. Their role is described more fully in the BA Course Handbook.

Section Three: Life in College
3.1 Offices
General Office This will be open from Monday to Friday, usually during normal office hours (9:30am to 4:30pm, excluding breaks and lunchtime), for students to see the secretarial staff and to collect car parking discs, make appointments with the Principal and Vice Principal, hand in essays (which are signed in by the staff), etc. In order to avoid congestion in the General Office a mailbox is to be found outside the General Office in the corner of the entrance hall. Any of the routine forms and requests of college life (including option forms, minor repair forms, change of address notifications etc.) can be posted there throughout the day irrespective of office hours, apart from Absence Forms which need to be put in the box by 9:30am on the Friday morning of the weekend in question. This box is checked regularly throughout the day. Domestic Office This is open on weekdays to see students in order to deal with matters relating to: medical, keys, accommodation, guests and any other domestic matters. Repair forms are available outside the Main Office.

3.2 Day Students
All day students should attend all activities listed below. If you are unable to attend (e.g., because of sickness) please phone in to notify the Office as soon as possible. • Morning Chapel (sign in before 8.50am) – except when you have no lecture for the first period • Wednesday Chapel – even if you have no lectures at all that day • All lectures relating to your course • A Prayer Group and Small Group (Small Groups take place in Semester 2 only) • Church activity on Sunday • Duties & Graduation • Any other College activities that may be notified in advance

3.3 Common Room
There is a Common Room area for students in the Hall of Residence. Please note that food may not be taken into the Lecture Rooms or Chapel Building at any time. Drinks are only permitted in fully-lidded containers in Lecture Rooms and only water is permitted in the Chapel itself.

10

3.4 Bedrooms
New residential students will receive their room allocation when they arrive at College in September. A key and mattress protector will be issued on arrival and a £20 key deposit and a £50 room deposit will be required. During your stay at Mattersey please keep your room clean and tidy. For Health and Safety reasons there will be the occasional ‘spot-check’. If your room is deemed to pose a Health and Safety risk by the Domestic Manager, you will have a limited amount of time to rectify it. If it remains unsatisfactory cleaners will be brought in at the student’s expense. Please do not hang towels or clothes on wardrobe doors or out of the window and do not dry your washing on corridor radiators. Key deposits will only be returned if the key is returned in the same condition at the end of the academic year. Room deposits will be given after the student’s bedroom has been inspected at the end of the academic and found to be in a satisfactory condition Posters, pictures etc should only be fixed to the cork tiles provided. Please do not move fitted furniture or beds. Our students are expected to live by the very highest of Christian standards, and your living environment should reflect this. For this reason, any material deemed inappropriate or offensive by the faculty which is found in a student’s room or in their possession may be removed or destroyed. No student is permitted to bring onto campus any illegal weapon, or any weapon that may be deemed dangerous by the faculty.

3.5 Insurance
The contents of your room are insured by the College for a maximum of £500 per student and £250 per item. Please note, however, that the £100 excess applies in certain circumstances when a claim is made. If you require further insurance you should make your own arrangements. Please note that you are responsible for the safety of your own property. Since it is relatively easy for strangers to enter the Hall of Residence unannounced or uninvited, you are strongly advised to keep your room locked when unoccupied. You will not be covered against theft if you do not keep your door locked.

3.6 What to Bring
All students will need a computer for word-processing essays. (Because of limited space on the desk in your bedroom, you may wish to consider bringing a laptop). You will also need a Bible. The College recommends the NIV and NRSV. Residential students need to bring their own bedding. You will also need your medical card (see 3.7). Please note that because of fire regulations certain items are not permitted at College: TV, fire (electric, gas or oil), electric blanket, mini-boiler, cooking equipment, candles, fragrant oil-burners and kettles.

11

The following items are permitted: Radio, music centre, hairdryer, shaver and computer. Please provide your own cups, plates and cutlery if you need them for your room. Only one four-way extension is permitted per room. All portable electrical items must be tested annually. We will arrange for this to be done at a cost of £10-£15 per room.

3.7 Medical
All students must register with a local doctor during the first week of Semester 1. You will need your medical card and you will get a letter from the Domestic Office explaining the procedure. If you need to see the doctor, dentist, or optician, you will be responsible for making your own appointments and arranging for your own transport. We regret that members of staff are not available for help with transport. Except in an emergency you should seek to avoid conflict with lectures or other College activities. Late night surgeries are available. All cases of sickness, whether requiring a visit to the doctor or not, should be reported to the Residence Co-ordinators. This should normally be done during office hours, but in cases of emergency outside of office hours a Senior Student should be informed immediately. If you are too unwell to report yourself sick, please get someone else to do it for you. If you are not reported sick you will be expected to be present. You will need a doctor’s note if you are absent from an examination. If you would like prayer for healing, please send for the Dean of Students, the Residence Co-ordinators or a Senior Student. First Aid facilities are available in the Domestic Office, the Chapel, in the Common Room and the Wired Café as well as from the appointed First Aiders, namely – Caroline Balfour (Reception), Vanessa Broad and Mark Gibson (Kitchen), Nathan Balfour and Johnnie Bradwell (Maintenance), Kurt and Lizzie Hutson and Mel Kumar (Domestic).

3.8 Meals
Mealtimes are found listed in the Daily Timetable in Section 1.2. If you intend missing a meal you should sign out at least one meal in advance (i.e. before 8.45am for lunch and before 1.30pm for dinner). If you have permission to be away you should sign out for the meals you will miss (by Friday lunchtime if you are away on Saturday and Sunday). Second and Third Year Day students who have opted out of the lunch provision are welcome to eat their own food in the Common Room at mealtimes. New Day students, and returning Day students who have opted in, will be provided with lunch for each week day during term time. Meals may only be taken out of the Dining Hall to people who are ill and who are reported as sick. Please note that the College will only provide vegetarian meals for those who inform us that they are vegetarians when they register at the commencement of their course. Apart from this the College does not cater for special diets unless there is a medical reason for doing so.
12

Suggestions about meals or the menu should be made in writing to the Domestic Office. Please do not make negative comments to the kitchen staff directly.

3.9 Laundry
Students are expected to be responsible for their own laundry. Washing machines and tumble-dryers are available for use in the laundry room. These are all coin-operated. Ironing boards and irons are available for the use of residential students in the laundry room. These should never be removed from the laundry room. Please note that you may not do washing, drying or ironing anywhere else on College premises.

3.10 Televisions
A television will be provided in the Common Room in the Hall of Residence. Please be considerate to others with regard to what is suitable viewing. Please note that the television is not for play stations or games.

3.11 Telephones
One pay phone is available outside the Common Room in the Hall of Residence. Mobile phones should be switched off in classrooms and in the Chapel and at any time when they might be an inconvenience to others.

3.12 Domestic Duties
In order to keep fees as affordable as possible the fee (see Section 4.1) for residential students includes an understanding that each student will provide about four hours each week in the form of domestic duties. As from September 2010 the following applies: 1. Students not wishing to undertake these duties domestic duties may choose to opt out and will then pay an additional fee of £640 per annum. This fee must be paid with the first semester’s fees. 2. Students who do not opt out and then miss any duty without the express permission of the Residence Co-ordinators will have £5.00 added to their fees for each hour of duties missed. 3. Students who choose to opt out or those who routinely miss duties will not be eligible for campus service grants or for consideration for summer work opportunities. 4. This arrangement excludes Graduation preparation week and the possibility of a campus work day at the end of semester one which applies to all students including day students. 5. The College reserves the right to opt students out of duties because of persistent non attendance or lateness, thus incurring an increase in fees.

All students carry out duties will receive any necessary training relevant to their duties with regard to health and safety, food hygiene etc. and will be required to sign an appropriate training record. Cleaning materials must be returned after use to the cupboards where they
13

belong. Vacuum cleaners which are not working properly should be put in the Maintenance Engineer’s garage with a Minor Repairs Slip or note indicating what is wrong. All gardening equipment and other tools should be returned to the Maintenance Engineer. Please do not borrow tools or similar items of College equipment for your personal use. There are also service grants available which are designed to help certain students to pay a little of their College fees. More information is available from the Domestic Manager.

3.13 Breakages
Please report breakages of any kind to the Domestic Office. You will be expected to pay for any damage you may cause by careless behaviour. Naturally we expect you to be honest about this. It is also vitally important that you report to the Maintenance Engineer any item of College equipment that ceases to function properly so that arrangements can be made for its repair. Please fill in a Minor Repairs Slip (to be found outside the Main Office) and hand it in to the Main Office.

3.14 Musical Instruments, Radios etc
Only competent musicians may play the instruments in the Chapel. No musical instrument may be played outdoors or so as to be a disturbance to other people. This includes radios and cassette or CD players. For the sake of our neighbours musical instruments may be neither played nor practised in the Chapel building after 8pm or before 8.30am. In order not to disturb others who may be studying, or who may wish to sleep, radios, CD players, noisy computer games, etc. must only be used with headphones during Private Study periods and between 10.30pm and 7.30am. If you have a guest in College, please make sure that they conform to all the regulations in this section.

3.15 Lawns
All the lawns and grounds are available to students. The main lawn in front of the Old Hall is available as a quiet area only. Please confine all ball games to the playing field.

3.16 Swimming Pool
When using the swimming pool please remember the following: - The 'deep' end is only 4' 6" deep and therefore diving is banned - Don't throw or push anyone in – ever! - Please do not interfere with the tap, pump, etc. - No less than 3 people in the pool at any time - No more than 60 people in the pool at any time - Suitable clothing must be worn at all times - No running around the pool - Please do not use the pool if you have had diarrhoea or sickness in the past 24 hours - Do not use the pool between the hours of 9pm and 7am. Please note that the pool is for students and staff only.

14

3.17 Cycles
You may leave your cycle, at your own risk, in the cycle shed provided. This is located behind the Chapel and is protected by a security keypad. For extra security we advise you to secure your cycle with a padlock. Please note that cycles may not be left indoors anywhere else on campus. Please do not cycle on College footpaths or grass.

3.18 Cars & Motor Cycles
The drive leading to the Old Hall is out of bounds to all students' cars and motor cycles. Residential students should park in the car park next to the Hall of Residence with the exhaust pipe away from the College wall. Day students should park on the playing field. It is very important that we are able to identify immediately the owner of any car or motorcycle parked anywhere on College property. For this reason all cars and motor cycles should display a disc, clearly visible, stating the name of the owner. These are provided free of charge and can be obtained from the General Office. Failure to display the disc or to park in the right place may result in a fine or even clamping, which will incur a release fee. All cars and motor cycles are parked at the owner's risk. The College can take no responsibility for damage or theft caused to vehicles while parked on College premises. Untaxed vehicles may not be left anywhere on College premises. Vehicles may not be left on College premises during vacations without prior permission from the Dean of Students.

3.19 Fire
Study-bedroom doors are fitted with an automatic door-closing device. This should not be removed for any reason. If you should discover a fire or hear the fire alarm please follow these guidelines: • Activate the nearest fire alarm immediately by breaking the glass panel on the front of the red box. • Leave the College building immediately by the nearest exit, going quickly and calmly. • Do not delay or re-enter the building to retrieve belongings. • Go immediately to your assembly point where a Senior Student will do a roll call*. • Residential students will find details of where to assemble on the back of the door of their study bedroom. • Day students should assemble on the field. • Do not re-enter the building until permission has been given to do so. In the interests of safety it is important that we know where you are in the event of a fire. If you are off campus unexpectedly please make sure that someone knows or ring the General Office to tell us of your situation. * Note for Senior Students Please inform the Maintenance Engineer, Johnnie Bradwell, or the Domestic Manager of the alarm immediately. Keep a checklist accessible and note that other copies are available:

3.20 Mail
Mail addressed to you will be placed daily in the pigeonholes near the Domestic Office. Please look in the pigeonhole labelled with the first letter of your surname. If you require us to redirect your mail during the summer vacation you should supply the General Office with pre-addressed sticky labels for that purpose. Otherwise mail will not be redirected. We regret that we cannot redirect mail at any other times. Leavers’ mail will only be redirected up to September 30th in the year in which they leave, and then only if pre-addressed sticky labels have been supplied.

3.21 Keypads
Details of the code for the security keypads will be given at the start of the College year. Please do not reveal this to anyone, including any visiting family members.

3.22 Computing and Internet Services
High speed wireless broadband internet access is provided throughout the campus free of charge. You can access this using your own computer in the Hall of Residence (though not whilst in the Dining Room) and the Library. This provision is based on the following assumptions: 1) All users agree to the logging at all times of their internet usage in the interests of provision of the internet for other users, and acknowledge that they, on using this service, will be subject to the disciplinary actions detailed below should they be found to be in breach of the assumptions given above. 2) They will not be used for any illegal activity, including transfers into or out of the Mattersey Student network of files and emails whereby the transfer of said files breaches the law: this includes transfer of files in breach of copyright provisions of UK law and any sensitive or confidential information regarding Mattersey Hall, the internal workings of AoG or any information that could be deemed libellous in a UK court. Additionally, any broadcast of data that could reasonably be deemed as bringing the College into disrepute. 3) They will not be used for any actions or access that the College deems tasteless or not in line with the actions of a member of a Christian community. This includes, but is not limited to, websites containing information about: pornography, violence, gambling and drugs. 4) The OpenDNS filter used by the College to prevent access to websites is there for pastoral reasons and for the protection of the College network, and is a service provided by the College to ensure fair and safe internet access to all users.
16

5) Users are understood to observe a ‘fair usage’ policy. That is to say, usage of the internet should not be excessive or used disproportionately to the rest of the student body, such that any student’s usage is deemed to be to the detriment of other students.

Board, Lodging & Library Fee Tuition Administration (BA only) Library & Facilities Fee Total Residential students 3,306 4,128 300 7,734 Day students 4,128 300 894 (incl. prov. for lunch) 5,322

1) Payment in Advance As people training for the Lord’s service, students should treat payment of fees as a priority. Fees are payable for each term in advance. Although this is not rigidly enforced in circumstances when, for example, a student is waiting for his or her loan to come through, students are expected to pay their fees before the first study-break of each term. At all events, all fees must be paid in full by May 15th 2012. Students who do not meet this deadline may not be allowed to continue their course in September 2012, or, in the case of those who are leaving, may not be allowed to graduate. Additional administrative charges will be incurred for bounced cheques and for late payment of fees. 2) Bursary Awards A Bursary Fund has been established for the assistance of suitable students who are in financial difficulties. Such students may apply for a Bursary Award. Each case will receive a sympathetic hearing, although funds are limited and such awards are not normally granted to first year students or to those in receipt of a Mandatory Award. 3) Government Loan Scheme Most students who receive a Mandatory Award for the BA Course will be eligible for loan on this scheme (full details of which are available from the Bursar). Students are accepted at College on the clear understanding that they will avail themselves of this loan rather than getting in debt to the College. 4) Transfers Residential students wishing to transfer to Day student status may normally only do so, because of marriage and during the summer vacation, see 7.6 (5). The student will need to get permission from the Dean of Students and Bursar and must apply before the 31st May 2012. Any students wishing to transfer part way through the academic year may only do so with the permission of the Bursar and Dean of Students. If permission is not granted then the student may transfer to Day student status, but will be liable to pay residential rates for the entire year.

18

5) Withdrawal from the Course Although payments are made in instalments, course fees are charged on an annual basis. This means that if a student withdraws from a programme of study part way through the academic year, he or she will be, nevertheless, liable for fees for the whole year. In all cases, failure to meet a deadline may result in the suspension of all teaching, tuition and board and lodging; and that will only be resumed once all required payments have been made. Please note, too, that because fees are payable for the full academic year, where studies are suspended part way through the year as a result of failure to make payments, the student continues to be liable for all fees for that academic year, and no awards (including exit awards) will be given until all outstanding fees have been paid.

4.2 Visitors' Board & Lodging
Please do not entertain visitors overnight without permission. If you wish to have visitors stay overnight, please consult with the Domestic Office well in advance. If a guestroom is available the charge will be £25 per night with or without meals. Guest meals will be £5 per head per meal. If you wish to book in a guest for the weekend please do so by 11.00am on Friday.

4.3 The Use of your Room during Vacations
Under certain circumstances residential students may stay in College during vacations. However it should not be assumed that there is an automatic right to do so. Permission will be granted subject to the following conditions: • it is convenient for the College • students will be charged at guest rates • the student’s purpose in staying in College is for study • the student observes all College Regulations Please note that Board and Lodging fees cover the use of your room during term time only. Because the College is also used for conferences and other purposes it will be necessary for you to remove all your belongings from your room for the whole of the Summer Vacation. There may be opportunity to store some of these items on campus but you should not assume this is guaranteed.

19

Section Five: Personal
5.1 Personal Appearance
On campus students may dress casually but not untidily or scruffily especially for lectures and Chapel Services. Modest dress should be worn at all times. Appropriate clothing and footwear should also be worn at mealtimes in the College Dining Hall. If out on ministry in churches students should be dressed appropriately. The general rule is to conform to the standards expected of you by the local church to which you are sent. In some cases this may have implications with regard to hairstyles and certain types of jewellery, studs etc. It is important that you co-operate with local church leadership in this respect (see Section 6.1). At the College Graduation Service, all students should be smartly dressed. The dress code for graduation will be given nearer the time by the Dean of Students.

5.2 Relationships
Mattersey Hall is a mixed College and it is natural and right that some, though by no means all, students will find their life's partner during their time here. However, in a close and, in some ways, unnatural environment it is sadly possible to make a serious mistake. Because of this, and because of the increasing breakdown of marriage in society, and even within the Church, the College adopts a firm but caring approach with regard to relationships. The following regulations are motivated by a genuine pastoral concern and a real desire to see the best for every student. Further clarification and explanation will be given at the beginning of the College year, but students are admitted to College on the understanding that they are prepared to abide by the letter and spirit of the following regulations: 1) We don’t expect relationships to be formed during the first semester for any new student(s). After this time the Dean of Students should be informed of any relationship formed with a student of the opposite sex. 2) Once a relationship has been formed great restraint should be exercised so as to present a good Christian testimony outside and so as not to cause embarrassment to other persons in the College. 3) If the relationship develops to a point where students wish to get engaged or married they should first inform the Dean of Students and attend marriage classes which will be arranged (though not always taken) by him. 4) To allow time for this, and to minimise the likelihood of a broken engagement (which within the close environment of College life can be even more hurtful than in normal circumstances) students are not expected to get engaged until at least 9 months after the relationship started or at the Dean’s discretion. 5) Students wishing to get married while at College are not expected to do so until at least 12 months after the start of the relationship or at the Dean’s discretion. 6) Students should normally only marry during the summer vacation and they should consult with the Dean of Students before the 31st May of the year in question as to whether they will continue as residential students after marriage.
20

8) Two students of the opposite sex (whether in a relationship or not) may not be alone together in a bedroom. More than two students of either sex can be in a bedroom if the door is left open. Male students are allowed to enter the ladies' corridors of the Hall of Residence only between 9.30am and 9.30pm (and vice versa). This applies also to Corridor H. The same regulations apply to students’ guests. 9) Regrettably, any act which from a biblical perspective would be regarded as immoral will be liable to lead to disciplinary action.

5.3 Leave of Absence
With the exception of Study Breaks and the March mission trip, residential students are expected to be resident in College throughout the whole of each term. The consent of the Dean of Students should be gained for absence overnight or from any College activity. For the purpose of absence on Friday nights you will be deemed to have this consent if you complete the appropriate form (available on the pigeon holes) and hand it in at the General Office in accordance with the conditions laid down on the form. (This includes making sure that you have signed out for relevant meals). Please note that if a first-year student wishes to be absent from Sunday ministry they will need permission from the Dean of Students first. For students who wish to arrange a regular, scheduled absence during the College week, permission for absence may be granted if the following conditions are met: 1) The student does not miss any lectures, including “Intensives” and Mission Trip activity 2) The student does not miss Wednesday Morning Chapel 3) The student does not miss any duties allocated to them, or they arrange a suitable replacement after consultation with the Residence Co-ordinators 4) The student does not miss Small Groups in Semester 2 5) The student does not miss Sunday or ‘Roadshow’ ministry as arranged by the Ministries Co-ordinator 6) The student does not miss their chosen Prayer Group 7) The student does not miss any other official College activity (except Mon, Tues, Thur and Fri Chapel – unless they are taking part) 8) Permission will be granted on a semester by semester basis by the Dean of Students 9) The reason for the regular absence is deemed satisfactory 10) After permission is granted, the student informs their Senior Student for Health and Safety purposes 11) The student signs out for the meals they will miss on a weekly basis.

21

To gain permission for absence, the student is requested to write to the Dean of Students giving details and reasons for regular absence and whether they adhere to the above conditions. Permission will be granted at his discretion. If there is an unauthorised absence during Intensives, College Week or during the last week before Graduation, the student may be asked to make up the time during the summer.

5.4 Smoking & Drinking
Because of the well-established medical evidence, Christians who smoke do not respect as they should their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. They not only incur great risk to their health but also set a bad example to others. Bible College students, as those preparing for Christian service, are therefore expected not to smoke. If you have a problem in this area please tell us before you come to, or during your time at, College. It may be that we can help you. It should be pointed out that Mattersey Hall operates a non-smoking policy in line with the Health Act 2006. Therefore anyone found smoking on the premises will face disciplinary action. The question of the consumption of alcohol is a matter over which Christians differ and attitudes vary from country to country. Because many Christians believe drinking to be wrong and would be shocked at the thought that a Christian could drink, even in moderation, those who are not total abstainers need to be sensitive to this. They also need to be careful not to stumble any who may have been converted from a background of addiction to alcohol. For this reason the public houses around Mattersey and the nearby villages can be visited on occasion only by groups of students (not individuals) and alcohol should be consumed only with a full meal. ‘Going out drinking’ is not acceptable behaviour. It should also be noted that any drunken behaviour would be taken very seriously by the college. Students are not permitted to bring alcohol onto campus, this includes out of term time.

5.5 Marriage Breakdown
In the unfortunate and sad event of a marriage breakdown, the student(s) involved will receive pastoral care from the College and be referred to their home church for pastoral covering. This may well include a deferment of their studies.

22

Section Six: Christian Service
6.1 Church on Sundays
Because the purpose of the College is primarily to train men and women for Christian service it is our policy to provide practical opportunities for ministry. For the entire academic year all students will be involved with either their home church, a local church or be part of a ‘Roadshow’ team. Students, therefore, should not expect to have their Sundays free. Church leaders report to us on students’ attitudes, co-operation, punctuality and attendance. An unsatisfactory report will affect the level of diploma awarded and references/recommendations from the College after graduation. See also Section 5.1 with regards to personal appearance whilst on ministry.

6.2 Prayer Groups
A variety of prayer groups are arranged throughout the week. You will be required to choose at least one of these and commit yourself to it each week. Further details will be given at the beginning of the College Year.

6.3 Mission
In March all students will take part in a cross-cultural mission trip which will be led by a member of staff or faculty. The trip will be for about 10-12 days during March 2012. This will be a life-transforming experience and may open doors of ministry in the future. The mission will count toward the BA for first years and the College diploma in years 2 and 3. More details will be given at the beginning of the College year.

6.4 Student Ministry
Whilst at College, preaching engagements for students should be arranged through the College. No ministerial engagement may be accepted without reference to the Student Ministries Co-ordinator, who will of course encourage suitable engagements.

6.5 Vacation Training Scheme
Students who hope to enter ministry within the British Isles will be happy to take advantage of the College’s Vacation Training Scheme. This normally operates during the summer vacation between your second and third year at College. You will be sent to a church or Christian organization to gain practical experience working alongside the leader for a minimum of four weeks and a maximum of eight. If you want the College to recommend you for ministry when you leave, it would be helpful to inform the Training Department by the Christmas of your second year that you wish to be involved in the Vacation Training Scheme the following summer. The leader with whom you work will send the College a report which will, along with our own perception of your gifts and calling, determine whether we feel able to recommend you for ministry after graduation.

23

6.6 Community Ministry
There are various opportunities for community ministry such as prison work, kids clubs, youth ministry and school assemblies. Students are encouraged to be involved in at least one of these activities during the academic year. More details will be given after September.

6.7 Morning Chapel and Small Groups
There will be opportunities for students to be involved in the weekday morning Chapel services, i.e., preaching, convening, worship leading, singing, playing, sound-desk and projector. The rotas for such meetings are displayed on the notice boards in the Chapel block. During Semester 2, in place of the Tuesday morning chapel service, we have introduced ‘Small Groups’. This is an opportunity for a small group of students, together with a staff member, to meet informally each week for prayer, discussion and advice.

6.8 Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks
All students will be required to complete various disclosure forms to ascertain their suitability to work with children and vulnerable adults. Please note this will be carried out at the student’s expense over and above the College fees.

24

Section Seven: Academic Matters
All students should refer to the BA Course Handbook which gives further and more detailed information.

7.1 Student Number
In the interests of fairness the College has adopted an anonymous marking scheme. This means that instead of putting your name on examination papers and essays you will need to put the number allocated to you. You will be informed what this is at the start of your course and it is obviously important that you remember it.

7.2 Lectures
• • • • • • • • Students may not be absent from any lecture without prior permission. Students should not be late for any lecture. This is discourteous and unnecessary. Students are requested to stand to their feet when the Lecturer enters the room, unless informed otherwise by a particular Lecturer. Students should keep the lecture rooms tidy and free from litter etc. Students are not expected to consume food or drink during lecture periods. Orderly conduct in the lecture room is expected at all times. Those appointed as Student Representatives should ensure that all materials needed for the lecture (chalk, wipeboard-markers, board cleaner etc) are at hand. Lecture notes are issued on the understanding that they are for the students' personal use only. They are not to be copied in any way for use either within or outside the College. Students may attend extra module lectures without assessment (Audit). The Audit Fee is £50 for a 10 credit module and £100 for a 20 credit module. Lectures may not be recorded without the permission of the Lecturer. If this is granted, recordings may be used for the student's benefit only.

•

7.3 Private Study
The College policy is that each student should spend between one and two hours of private study for every hour of lecture time scheduled for any given module. This means that no one should expect to do less than 20 hours private study each week. Generally speaking think of every lecture period where you have no lecture scheduled as a private study period as well as the three hours each evening listed as private study on the Daily Timetable (see Section 1.2). This will help you discipline your time. Make it your aim to study throughout all scheduled private study periods and lecture periods when you have no lecture. Take a break if you need it – but not in such a way as to disturb others. Don't spend all evening watching TV. And if you're not used to study, ask the Lord to help you. As you persevere, you'll find it gradually gets easier. If you need help, have a chat with the Academic Dean or your Personal Tutor.

25

7.4 Library
The Library is located upstairs in the Main House above the General Office. You can borrow up to three books at any one time and also work in the library to use the reference books and journals. We would ask you not to leave piles of books around on the tables or window shelves since that blocks the tables for others to use. Since there are not enough tables for everyone to use at anyone time please be considerate of others. This goes for the level of noise generated too. It is best to keep the Library quiet please! The opening times will usually be as follows: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 9.30 am – 5.00 pm 9.30 am – 5.00 pm 10.30 am – 5.00 pm 9.30 am – 5.00 pm 9.30 am – 4.00 pm 9.30 am – 12.00 noon 6.00 – 10.00 pm 6.00 – 10.00 pm 6.00 – 10.00 pm 6.00 – 10.00 pm 6.00 – 10.00 pm 1.00 - 4.00 pm (depending on available duty students)

Borrowing Books At the beginning of your course you need to bring a passport sized photograph and the Librarian will make up the Library tickets – every student will need to have one and it can serve as an ID card in some locations when outside College. If you lose it you will have to pay £5 for a replacement. Every time you wish to borrow a book you need to bring your card. Please do not use anyone else’s ticket. You may borrow up to 3 books at any one time, for a week. If you do not return books within the week of borrowing there will be a fine for every day they are late (20p per book per day). If the books are not in demand we can reissue them to you so simply come and renew them. You can also reserve books that are out to another student which will mean (s)he cannot have them reissued. Books that are on high demand may be placed on Temporary Reference – only at the lecturer’s and Librarian’s discretion. Most required reading is on overnight loan. The penalty for non-return the next day is 20p per day and per book. Reference Section In the first room there are many books that have an orange or red sticker – these may not be borrowed. Journals and magazines are also in the reference section and may be photocopied but not borrowed. Please use them only in the Library. Library Catalogue Each book in the library has a Dewey class number that links it to its subject. For instance books on New Testament Introduction are classed under 225.61 and this is found on the spine of each book together with the first four letters of the author’s surname. Please keep them in first numerical order and then alphabetical order. If you do not know where they go exactly, please place them on the shelf behind the Librarian’s desk. To find books for your subject you can look in either or both of the catalogues – the card catalogue which has Author catalogue on one side of the set of drawers and subject by Dewey number on the other – or the computer catalogue. There is presently one computer in
26

the Library for students’ use. You can even print out a page or two of what you find but please confine your searches with specific key or subject words. It is best not to use general terms like ‘gospel’ or ‘Paul’ since it will produce reams and will not print out. There are various ways of searching for books and articles. Please try to use this computer without having to ask the Librarian to do it from the main desk. There will be introductory tours of the Library at the start of the College year. Photocopiers Cards to operate the photocopiers may be bought from the Librarian. Copyright laws restrict copying to 10% of any book and only for personal use. For reference books; please first check that previous students have not already had it copied; look in the blue folders in the reference section: Articles in journals, periodicals, and magazines may also be copied from the subject folders available on the white book case.

7.5 Reading Weeks
During each semester there are various Reading Weeks. These are intended as breaks from lectures for the purpose of study. They should enable you to catch up on some of your reading. Please note that these are part of the semester, not a short vacation. Residential students may stay in College or go home for this purpose. Those who stay in College must remember that Domestic Duties continue through the Reading Weeks and that all College regulations remain in force.

7.6 Diploma and Certificate Regulations
The following regulations relate to the award of College diplomas and certificates. Regulations governing the award of the BA are available separately. However, all students accepted for the BA are accepted on the understanding that they take along with it one of the College Diplomas. The following regulations therefore effectively apply to the BA course in addition to those that are issued separately. 1. College diplomas and certificates will be awarded to those students who: a) have attended the College regularly in accordance with College Regulations; (see Daily Timetable, Section 1.2 – day students see Section 3.2). b) have demonstrated by their attitude and conduct their worthiness to receive them (cf. Section 3.l2 on Domestic Duties and Section 6.1 on Church on Sundays). Entry into the second year is dependent on satisfactory conduct in the first year and entry into the third year is dependent on satisfactory conduct in the second year. c) have paid all their fees, fines and subscriptions in full. d) have satisfied the teaching staff, either by examination or essay or both, of their understanding of the modules taught in the course. Students are expected to keep their own record of the marks they have been awarded for each module. (Students may be required to re-take modules where their final work has been unsatisfactory). 2. Merits and Distinctions will be awarded at the discretion of the full-time faculty based on attendance record (including all lectures – BA and Intensives, duties, Sunday Ministry,
27

Morning Chapel and Small Groups), general contribution to the life of the College and general attitude and behaviour. These areas are reviewed regularly be the Faculty throughout the College year. 3. Except where a transfer of course has been agreed, students who terminate their studies before the completion of the course for which they were originally accepted will receive no Diploma or Certificate. 4. If you have been accepted as a residential student the College guarantees you a room in College for the first two years of your course. You may, however, be required to live out for your third year, in which case you will pay fees as a day student for that year. 5. However, if you were accepted as a residential student the College reserves the right to insist that you remain a residential student for the whole of your course. You may not normally transfer to being a day student partway through your course unless the College requires you to. The only exception is for those getting married during the Summer (in which case you must first discuss the matter with the Dean of Students before the 31st May of the year in question) or for any other reason deemed appropriate by the Dean. 6. In cases where, in the opinion of the Faculty, a student cannot yet be recommended for Christian Ministry or Leadership, the College reserves the right to withhold the award of the Diploma in Christian Ministry or Leadership or to award the Diploma in Christian or Theological Studies in its place.

7.7 Marking System
The Marking System used for all modules is the same as that used for the BA Courses. This is to be found in Section 8 of the BA Course Handbook, a copy of which is made available to each student at the commencement of each academic year. This explains the Credit System, how to understand your marks, and how to estimate your final degree classification. However, please note that all marks are subject to revision by the External Examiners and their decision is final. Therefore all marks awarded by the College must be regarded as provisional.

7.8 Handing in Essays
You will be given the title of the essay(s) set for each module at the beginning of each module. You will also be informed of the deadline date and time for handing the essay in. In the interests of fairness, so that one student does not have more time to complete an essay than another, the College takes these deadline dates very seriously. It is therefore extremely important that you hand your essays in on time. In this connection please note carefully the following simple regulation: Essays must be handed in to the General Office on or before the deadline date and by the time specified. Provided you hand an essay in on time, that is all there is to it! If you hand an essay in late, things get a little more complicated. The Secretary will write in the top right hand corner of the essay the exact time and date the essay was handed in. The Secretary will at the same time hand the student a written statement to the effect that a maximum of 40% will be awarded for their late essay unless they make an appointment to see the Academic Dean with
28

a satisfactory explanation. The Academic Dean will require a written explanation and will refer the case to the Faculty. Note: The Faculty will normally consider an explanation for lateness to be satisfactory if the sickness (or other mitigating circumstances) occurred immediately prior to the essay deadline. The Secretary will then pass the late essays directly to the Academic Dean, who, after appropriate consultation, will forward the essay to the lecturer concerned. Any essay submitted later than two weeks after the deadline date will normally be given a grade of 0%. This may be waived in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Faculty, who will then set a final deadline date for the essay to be handed in by. Please note that handwritten essays will not be accepted.

7.9 Feedback from Marked Essays
When essays have been submitted, they are not returned to students. For this reason, it is important that students keep a copy of all the work they submit for their own portfolio. Instead, students will get a copy of the typed grading sheet, which contains their number, grade, and all relevant comments on their essay. Again, it is important that students keep their copy of this document for their own records. As a general rule of thumb, lecturers are encouraged to hand their comments out to students within one month of the essay deadline date. Students may make an appointment to discuss their marked work with the lecturer concerned, only within two weeks of receiving the grading sheet. (Please note that essays whose deadline occurs near the end of the second semester may not be marked until May or June. For this reason, students who wish to discuss their work with the lecturer concerned will need to make an appointment within a very few days of receiving their grade.)

7.10 Examinations
There is one examination week at the end of each semester. You will be given an examination timetable during the relevant semester. In connection with all examinations, please remember the following: • Please be sure to arrive at least 5 minutes early for each examination. • No books, notes etc. may be brought into the examination room. • Your full student number must be written on the examination cover sheet. • Be sure to number your questions correctly. • Do not use pencil – use a blue-black or black pen. • Write on one side of the paper only. • Use a sheet of paper for rough work – request further paper by raising your hand. • Make sure that all your papers are stapled together at the top left-hand corner. • If a candidate needs to make a temporary withdrawal from an examination for personal reasons they must be accompanied by an invigilator or other authorized person. Such a withdrawal is expected only in exceptional circumstances. • If you are absent from an examination because of sickness you will need a note from the Doctor to confirm that you are sick.

Only First Year students whose first language is not English may use dictionaries in Examinations. The dictionary must be in book format (i.e., NOT electronic)

Feedback to students from examinations is at the discretion of individual lecturers.
