Class Size and Cancellations

NEIBS reserves the right to cancel any course for which there is insufficient enrollment. If your course is cancelled, you may choose another course in the same semester, register for a course in the next semester, or a refund. Recruiting family and friends to join you will ensure a class size!

​

Participation

NEIBS offers classes on Monday evenings for 8 weeks in fall and spring quarters.

​

Attendance

It is the responsibility of the student to check in with the professor, especially if late to class. Attendance affects the student's grade. Credit students missing more than two classes cannot receive a passing grade for the course, unless special arrangements have been made with the Professor.

​

 

Student Status - Credit & Audit

Credit: Students may register on either an enrichment level or a certificate level. Enrichment level coursework is easier and is designed to encourage students to make some effort to better understand the course material. Certificate level students will be required to do more advanced work to prepare them to be leaders or pastors in a local church. Audit: This allows the student to take a course without the responsibility of assigned work and quizzes/exams. No grade will be given. An audited course cannot qualify for certificate requirements.

​

Withdrawing

If a student cannot complete a course after the second session of the class, the student must either withdraw from the course or change a credit status to audit in order not to receive a failing grade. There is no refund for a course after the first session of class.

 

Tuition Assistance

Currently, NEIBS does not have scholarship monies available for tuition assistance. We encourage students with a need for financial aid to contact their church for sponsorship. If that is not available, contact Director Chris Gardner for further options

​

Textbooks

Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks from any venue they choose. NEISB recommends Christian Book Distributors and/or Amazon as good resources. Local Christian bookstores may be a bit more expensive, but purchasing through them helps the local economy.

 

Tuition Fees and Payments

Current registration fees per quarter/session:

Per Credit course, $80

Payments may be made through the website, or by check or cash brought on the first day of class.  If you are registering in person and require a receipt for tax purposes, contact Director Gardner.  If you are registering in person, you will still need to create an online account on our website to access any digital resources that may be needed for the course.

 

FINANCES AND FINANCIAL AID

NEIBs desires to make the courses of study available to anyone who wishes to take a class. While we may wish that we could offer all classes without cost, unfortunately, we are not able to do so. However, we intend to keep costs as low as possible. Professors know that they will receive only a token payment for their labors. We encourage students who find the costs beyond their limited means to approach their pastor or church leaders with their desire to study and their financial need. Professors are asked to keep the cost of textbooks and other required materials under $70. A small library is located on the main floor in the church conference room.
