Dominion Bible College And Seminary is a leader in distance
education. We are members of two Ecclesiastical Accrediting Associations, and have received the endorsement and recognition
of several denominations, church groups and fellowships.
While we maintain that we are an openly Christian school of
higher learning, we offer our students the opportunity to apply what they have already learned and accomplished through prior
study, personal study, professional experience and guided learning towards their education through the LEAP Program.
Our beliefs system is simple:
-
God is the eternal Creator and Sustainer and Provider of all things.
He created the universe, man and all things in it.
-
Jesus Christ is the only-begotten, virgin born Son of the Father, the
Son of God according to the flesh and the very God according to the Spirit. He lived a sinless life, shed His blood for our
sin, rose from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will return to the earth. He is the Lord and only Mediator between God
and man, our Savior.
-
The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment; in believers,
the Holy Spirit affects the new birth, indwells, fills, empowers, bestows gifts, instructs and guides.
-
Salvation is Gods grace received through personal faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ.
-
All men will be resurrected in the body; the saved unto life; and the
lost unto damnation
-
Believers have spiritual unity in the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative, preserved Word
of God.
Dominion Bible College And Seminary operates on a semester system.
The unit for counting credit is the semester hour.
Each student is allowed to complete each course at his or her own rate
of progress.

Bible College And Seminary for grading or evaluation.
If there is a specific problem with the course content, the

Students desiring to repeat a course for the purpose of having
the first grade removed from the cumulative grade point average must follow these procedures:
(1) A course may be repeated once at no additional charge if
the student receives a grade of less than "C".
(2) A course may be repeated for an additional charge if the
student receives a "C" or higher.
(3) The second grade, in all circumstances, replaces the first grade for the purpose
of calculating the cumulative grade point average.
Any student receiving an "F" or "I" must contact the Registrar's
Office for further instructions. No student will be allowed to graduate with an "F" or "I" in a required course. Any undergraduate
student receiving three "Fs" will be placed on academic probation. Any graduate student receiving two "Fs" will be placed
on academic probation.
If a student has completed a course that is required in his
or her program of study, the student may request a change of course. The student must have received a grade of "C" or better
on the previously completed course, and the course must have been offered on the same level (i.e.. Bachelor, Master, Doctorate)
as the required DBCS course. DBCS reserves the right to require any course regardless of a student's previous courses.

The courses taken will be listed under one of three academic
