PHILOSOPHY:
Recognizing the need in our nation for more pastors, evangelists,
missionaries, and other full-time Christian workers to lead the
rapidly growing independent, fundamental Baptist movement,
Providence Baptist College was born to provide a high level of
theological training and high standards of Christian service that are
characteristically fundamental in nature and evangelistic in
practice.
Furthermore, seeing that the philosophy and purpose of our public
education is primarily secular in nature and humanistic in
philosophy, the independent, fundamental Baptist churches in our
nation have developed an alternative system of education to
provide training for their children which is in keeping with
traditional Baptist distinctives and is primarily spiritual in nature
and theistic in philosophy.
Providence Baptist College is, first of all, a ministry of a local,
fundamental, independent Baptist church and is, therefore, a
Biblical institution. Seeing a need for a distinctively different
college dedicated to training young people for service in
independent Baptist churches and ministries around the world, this
institution was brought into existence and has been governed by
Northwest Bible Baptist Church of Elgin, Illinois, since August of
1998. It is and will continue to be an ongoing ministry of that
local church.
Secondly, Providence Baptist College is an institution of
education. The pastor and membership of Northwest Bible Baptist
Church, by the leadership of God’s Holy Spirit, established
Providence Baptist College to provide training for Christian young
people in the following fields: Pastoral (and related full-time
ministerial training), Missions, Evangelism, Christian Education,
Church Music, and Church Secretarial/Business.
9
As a result, our graduates are prepared to serve God in and through
the independent, fundamental Baptist churches of America, as
opposed to those religious denominational churches and other
church organizations which are more than willing to abdicate
religious liberty to gain governmental or ecumenical favor. Our
pastoral majors will pastor independent, fundamental Baptist
churches. Our education majors will graduate to teach in churchcentered, independent, fundamental Baptist schools. Our music
and secretarial majors will prepare for full-time Christian work as
musicians, music teachers, and secretaries in the independent,
fundamental Baptist church and school movement.
PURPOSE:

To promote and defend the Biblical truths held by Baptists
throughout history.
We believe Baptists are not Protestants. Further, we believe
that there is an unbroken line of churches from New Testament
times until today which has remained true to the pattern
established by Christ for the New Testament church. That line
leads to the independent, fundamental Baptist churches of
today.

To prepare pastors, missionaries, evangelists, and full-time
Baptist church workers (church secretaries, church
musicians, church youth workers, Christian school
teachers, etc.) by using a high standard of Biblical studies
which are Baptist and evangelistic in nature.
The training given these future Christian workers will be, by
design, spiritually sound, historically traditional, politically
conservative, aggressively evangelistic, theologically Baptist,
and thus consistent with what is preached from the
independent, fundamental Baptist pulpits. The philosophic
under-girding for Providence Baptist College and its total
educational program is the inspired Word of God and is
perfectly preserved in the AV 1611 King James Bible.
10
The Christ-centered theme that will provide direction in all that
Providence Baptist College will try to teach is, “That He might
have the preeminence.” As a result, we will attempt to teach a
balance in the Christian worker’s life — a balance between
aggressive service and a close walk with Christ.
Because of the distinctively Baptist philosophy and purpose of
Providence Baptist College, we do not consider ourselves to be in
competition with any school, college, or university which is
training people for full-time secular employment. While our
students have the opportunity to be highly qualified by any
standard in their chosen field of study, we are specifically training
them to serve in and through independent, fundamental Baptist
churches across our nation and the world.

College Distinctives
OUR HISTORY
CHURCH - Although Northwest Bible
Baptist Church was founded in the fall of
1974, Dr. Keith Gomez answered the call
to pastor in May of 1982. The church
then began its remarkable growth from a
congregation of 31, meeting in an old
public school building, to its current congregation of nearly 1500
in its multi-million dollar facility in Elgin, Illinois.
COLLEGE - The college opened its doors in August of 1998,
under the title of Providence Baptist College. Its predecessor,
Northwest Baptist Institute, had been in existence and fully
operational since the fall of 1986. Undergraduate certificates have
been awarded for each major in the areas of Biblical Studies,
Christian Ministries, and
Christian
Education.
Current facilities are
located in Elgin, Illinois,
and consist of a 100,000
square foot former Best
Western Inn and its
properties. These facilities beautifully accommodate classes,
dormitory, and recreational needs.
OUR UNIQUENESS
FACULTY - One of the MOST unique features of Providence
Baptist College is that all of its Church Education classes and most
Bible classes are taught by men who are currently and successfully
pastoring churches or are on the field as associate pastors,
evangelists, or missionaries. This provides a sense of excitement
as well as relevance in being able to learn from some of the most
proven men of God in independent Baptist circles today.
PERSONABLE - Though still relatively young, Providence
Baptist College is a growing school with an exciting future. A
12
family-like atmosphere prevails with personal attention given to
every student. Instead of being another number in a large college,
students have close communication with the administration and the
faculty and get to spend time individually with some of the most
successful pastors in America.
PRACTICALITY - Along with traditional academic courses,
students are taught the successful methods of the pastorate, youth
ministry, camp ministry, bus ministry, nursing home ministry,
music ministry, Christian education, Sunday School, soulwinning,
and church office by those who are now succeeding in these fields.
Many of America’s outstanding preachers help keep PBC’s chapel
services hot!
EXPERIENCE - All students are directly involved in the
ministries of Northwest Bible Baptist Church. This includes
everything from preaching opportunities, teaching Sunday school,
working as secretaries, teaching at the academy, participating in
the music ministries, working on bus routes, helping with summer
camps, leading nursing home services, as well as assisting with
annual national conferences.
SOULWINNING - Every student will be taught how to become
an active soulwinner. Not only are they involved in the various
ministries of the church, but they can also be involved in street
preaching, nursing homes, and the jail ministry. Soulwinning is
taught as a way of life at Providence Baptist College.
SEPARATION AND CHARACTER BUILDING - In a day
when the words “separation” and “discipline” are used frequently,
but loosely, their true meaning is found at Providence Baptist
College. We endeavor to instill the type of grit into our students
that will compel them to stand against the Lord’s worst adversaries
no matter what the consequences. At the same time, we challenge
each student to stretch his/her personal limits by providing
ongoing, intensive character-building opportunities. Worsening
conditions of our country will lead to the weakening of our
fundamental pulpits if we do not stem the tide and begin building
young people of character and integrity.
BALANCE - While service is what the ministry is all about, too
often it is substituted for spirituality. At Providence Baptist
13
College, a balance of the two is stressed. To work hard is taught in
every class and every service opportunity; but each student is also
taught that every individual’s personal walk with God is to be kept
foremost in his/her mind.
STRONG ACADEMICS - At Providence Baptist College, we
assure students of being academically equipped to accomplish the
job the Lord has called them to do. Students receive a solid base
of scholarship by a well-qualified, hand-picked, experienced
faculty.
STIRRING CONFERENCES - Each year, a national preaching
conference, youth conference, a week long revival, a song leader
workshop, a missions conference, as well as other camps and miniconferences are hosted by Northwest Bible Baptist Church. These
conferences energize the entire academic year. Additionally,
throughout the year, many nationally prominent speakers grace the
pulpit of Northwest Bible Baptist Church.
COST EFFECTIVE - While it is necessary to charge tuition and
fees sufficient to meet necessary expenses, it is the goal of
Providence Baptist College to ensure that all costs to the students
have the greatest possible return in terms of benefit. While we
strive to keep the costs at Providence Baptist College among the
lowest of any Christian college in the nation, to do so has taken
great sacrifice on the part of the entire faculty and staff as well as
the members of the church. This sacrifice is based on their belief
in the college and its potential impact on America and the world.
FACILITIES AND LOCATION - The facilities of Providence
Baptist College are located at 345 West River Road in Elgin,
Illinois, in what was formerly a 200-room Best Western Inn.
14
OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE SCRIPTURES - We believe that the King James Bible, AV 1611, is
the inspired, infallible, perfectly preserved, authoritative Word of God for
the English-speaking world. The Book that we hold in our hand is without
error and is the absolute authority for all matters of faith and practice. (II
Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21)
THE TRUE GOD - We believe that there is one, and only one, living and
true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, the maker and supreme Ruler of
heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all
possible honor, confidence and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there
are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, equal in every
Divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great
work of redemption. (Exodus 20:2-3; Colossians 2:9; Genesis 17:1;
Philippians 2:5-6; Revelation 4:11; I John 5:7)
THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person,
equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature; that He
was active in the creation; that in His relation to the unbelieving world He
restrains the Evil One until God’s purpose is fulfilled; that He convicts of
sin, of judgment and of righteousness; that He bears witness to the truth of
the Gospel in preaching and testimony; that He is the agent in the New
Birth; that He seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies and helps
the believer. (John 14:16-17; Matthew 28:19; John 3:5-6; Genesis 1:2;
John 14:26)
THE CHURCH - We believe that a Baptist church is a congregation of
baptized believers associated by a covenant of faith and fellowship of the
Gospel, said church being understood to be the “pillar and ground of the
truth,” observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, and
exercising the gifts, rights and privileges invested in them by His Word; that
its officers are pastors and deacons whose qualifications, claims, and duties
are clearly defined in the Scriptures. We believe the true mission of the
church is found in the Great Commission; first, to make individual
disciples; second, to build up the church; third, to teach and instruct as He
has commanded.
We hold that the local church has the absolute right of self government, free
from the interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations, and
that the one and only leader is Christ through the Holy Spirit; that it is
scriptural for true churches to cooperate with each other in contending for
15
the faith and for the furtherance of the Gospel; that every church is the sole
and only judge of the measure and method of its cooperation; and that on all
matters of membership, policy, government, discipline, and benevolence,
the will of the local church is final. (Acts 2:41; I Timothy 3:15; Ephesians
4:11; Acts 18:8; Acts 5:42; I Timothy 3:1-13)
GRACE AND THE NEW BIRTH- We believe that in order to be saved,
sinners must be born again; that the New Birth is a miraculous transaction
whereby the sinner becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus; that it is
instantaneous and not a process; that in the New Birth the one dead in
trespasses and in sins is made a partaker of the Divine nature and receives
eternal life, the free gift of God; that the New Birth is brought about in a
manner above our comprehension, not by culture, not by character, not by
the will of man, but wholly and solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in
connection with Divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the
Gospel; that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and
faith and newness of life. (John 3:3-5; II Corinthians 5:17; I John 5:11-13;
Colossians 2:12-13; John 1:11-13)
THE FREENESS OF SALVATION - We believe in the freeness of God’s
grace; that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel; that
it is the immediate duty of all to accept those blessings by a cordial, penitent
and obedient faith; and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest
sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and willful rejection of the
gospel, which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation. (I
Thessalonians 1:4; Colossians 3:12; Romans 8:29; John 3:15-16, 18, 36;
Revelation 22:17; Isaiah 55:1-3)
BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER - We believe that Christian
baptism is the complete immersion in water of a believer, in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, to show forth in a solemn
and beautiful emblem our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior;
that it pictures our death to sin and resurrection to a new life and is the
obedient submission of the child of God and does not constitute in part or in
whole salvation or redemption; that it is a prerequisite to the privileges of a
church relationship and to the Lord’s supper, in which the members of the
church, by the sacred use of unleavened bread and the unfermented fruit of
the vine are to commemorate together the undying love of Christ, preceded
always by solemn self-examination. (Acts 8:36-39; Matthew 3:6, 16;
Matthew 28:19; John 3:23; I Corinthians 11:23-28)
16
THE DEVIL, OR SATAN - We believe that Satan was once holy, and
enjoyed heavenly honors; but through pride and ambition to be as the
Almighty, fell and drew after him a host of angels; that he is now the
malignant prince of the power of the air, and the unholy god of this world.
We hold him to be man’s great tempter, the enemy of God and his Christ,
the accuser of the saints, the author of all false religions, the chief power
behind the present evil world, the lord of the antichrist, and the author of all
powers of darkness – destined, however, to final defeat at the hands of
God’s own Son and to the judgment of an eternal justice in Hell, a place
prepared for him and his angels. (Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 12:9; I Peter
5:8; II Corinthians 4:4; Ezekiel 28:14-17; II Corinthians 11:13-15)
THE CREATION - We believe in the Genesis account of creation, and
that it is to be accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively; that
man was created directly in God’s own image and after His own likeness;
that man’s creation was not a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of
species, or development through interminable periods of time from lower to
higher forms; that all animal and vegetable life was made directly, and
God’s established law was that they should bring forth only “after their
kind.” (Genesis 1:1, 11, 24, 26, 27; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1-3;
John 1:1-3)
THE FALL OF MAN - We believe that man was created in innocence
under the law of his Maker, but by voluntary transgression he fell from his
sinless and happy state, in consequence of which all mankind are now
sinners, not by constraint, but of choice, and therefore under just
condemnation without defense or excuse. (Genesis 3:1-6; Romans 3:10-19;
5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3)
THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST - We believe that Jesus Christ was
begotten of the Holy Ghost, in a miraculous manner; born of Mary, a virgin,
as no other man was ever born or can ever be born of woman; and that He is
both the Son of God, and God the Son. (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14;
Matthew 1:18-25)
THE ATONEMENT OF SIN - We believe that the salvation of sinners is
wholly of grace, through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God, who by
appointment of the Father, freely took upon Him our nature, yet without sin,
honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and by His death made a
full and vicarious atonement for our sins; that His atonement consisted not
in setting us an example by His death as a martyr but was the voluntary
substitution of Himself in the sinner’s place, the Just dying for the unjust,
17
Christ the Lord, bearing our sins in His own body on the tree; that, having
risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in heaven and uniting in His
wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with Divine perfection, and that
He is in every way qualified to be the only suitable, compassionate, and allsufficient Saviour. (Ephesians 2:8; Romans 3:24; John 3:16; Philippians
2:7;
II Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 1:1-3)
THE ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER - We believe that
those who are born again become “new creatures in Christ Jesus” and
because of the “operation made without hands”, are eternally secure in the
grace of God and have been given eternal salvation. We believe that they
are forever sealed and shall never “come into condemnation”; that grand
attachment to Christ is the mark which distinguishes them from superficial
professors; that a special Providence watches over their welfare; and that
they are kept by the power of God through faith unto eternal salvation.
(II Corinthians 5:17; John 10:28-29; Colossians 2:11-12; Romans 8:1, 3539; I Peter 1:3-5)
REPENTANCE AND FAITH - We believe that repentance and faith are
solemn obligations and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the
quickening Spirit of God; that they occur when we willfully and knowingly
turn from our sin and by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and
Lord. (Acts 20:21; Acts 2:37-38; Romans 10:9-13; II Corinthians 7:10)
THE RESURRECTION AND RETURN OF CHRIST, AND
RELATED EVENTS - We believe in and accept the sacred Scriptures
upon these subjects at their full value. Of the resurrection we believe that
Christ rose bodily “the third day according to the Scriptures”; that He alone
is our “merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God”; “that
this same Jesus which is taken up from you into Heaven shall so come in
like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven…” bodily, personally and
visibly; that the “dead in Christ shall rise first”; that the living saints “shall
all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump”;
“that the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His Father David”;
and that “Christ shall reign a thousand years in righteousness until He hath
put all enemies under His feet”. We are therefore pre-millennial, and pretribulational as it pertains to the return of Christ. (Matthew 28:1-7;
I Corinthians 15; Revelation 20:1-6; Acts 1:3, 11; I Thessalonians 4:13-16;
Revelation 19:11-16)
18
MISSIONS - The command to give the gospel to the world is clear and
unmistakable, and this Commission was given to the Churches.
(Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; John 20:21; Romans 10:13-15)
CIVIL GOVERNMENT - We believe that civil government is of Divine
appointment, for the interests and good order of human society; that
magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored and obeyed,
except in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the
only Lord of the conscience and the coming Prince of the kings of the earth.
(Romans 13:1; I Peter 2:13, 14, 17; Philippians 2:10-11)
THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED - We believe that there is a
radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked; that
such only as through faith, justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
sanctified by the Spirit of our God, are truly righteous in His esteem; and
that all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in His sight wicked
and under the curse; and that this distinction holds among men both in and
after death, in the everlasting joy of the saved in heaven and the everlasting
conscious suffering of the lost in hell.
(I Peter 1:18; Romans 1:17; Romans 6:23; Luke 16:25; Revelation 20:15;
II Corinthians 5:1-8; Matthew 7:13-14; I John 5:12)

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT/HOUSING
The administration of Providence Baptist College makes every

Student employment
possibilities are among the top in the nation. Individuals who need
a job have numerous possibilities from which to choose. Those
planning to attend Providence Baptist College, married or single,
and needing employment should contact the college ahead of time
for job leads. Freshman students (male or female) normally will be
discouraged from taking 3rd shift jobs. They may, however, take
advantage of many good-paying 2nd shift job opportunities. Those
married students desiring housing should also come early to locate
housing. While there is a limited amount of married student
housing available on campus, there are ample opportunities
available for affordable housing in the Elgin area. In either case,
the student should first check with the Dean of Men for their needs
of work and/or housing.

certain classes without taking them for
credit may register for such classes on
an “audit” basis. The cost of auditing a
course is half of the current credithour fee and entitles the student to
attend all classes except when a major
test is given. Application fees are also
due. No grade is given in the course.
Students who plan to receive a college
degree should not audit courses.
BOOKS
The cost of books and supplies varies, depending on the course of
study, number of hours, etc. The estimated cost is $150-200 per
semester.
SCHOLARSHIPS
CHILDREN OF FULL-TIME CHRISTIAN WORKERS - The
dependent children whose father’s (or head-of-household
mother’s) primary source of income is from full-time Christian
service will receive a discount on tuition as long as the parent
remains in full-time service. Females will receive a 50% discount
and males will receive a 25% discount.
VALEDICTORIAN - Each student achieving valedictorian status
for his or her high school class (with a minimum graduation class
of 5) will receive one semester of free tuition.
23
WORK STUDY - A limited number of on-campus work study
opportunities are available (primarily for female students). Those
interested should let the Administrative Office know as early as
possible and then again when registering.
CARLA GOMEZ MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP - This
scholarship is a cash gift awarded at graduation to needy, full-time
Providence Baptist College students who are married. Mrs.
Gomez’ love and concern for the Providence Baptist College
married students and their families was manifest in her constant
vigilance and watch-care over them. Never intruding, but always
caring, she was able to discern needs in these families and provide
help as it was appropriate.
VETERANS ADMINISTRATION BENEFITS
Providence Baptist College is approved
for veterans and other eligible persons
under the provision of Section 1776, Title
38, United States Code.
Veterans who wish to receive benefits
while in college should apply for the
Certificate of Eligibility with the VA
representative in the Administrative
Office.
The Certificate of Eligibility
should be presented to the Academic Dean
by the student. He should not mail any
papers
directly to
the
Veterans
Administration.
A student may elect to request an advance payment from the
Veterans Administration. If this is done, the student will receive a
direct deposit on approximately the first day of the semester. This
deposit will be for the months of September and October. The
student’s next deposit will then be received about December 21
and will be for the month of November. Requests for advanced
payment should be received by the college at least six weeks prior
to the beginning of a semester.
Students who do not request advance payments will receive their
direct deposit on about the last day of the following month.
24
However, due to the time required to process new applications by
the Veterans Administration, students will frequently have their
direct deposits delayed past October 21. Students should file their
applications for benefits as soon as possible so that this delay will
be as brief as possible.
All veterans attending college must realize they are responsible for
their school bill payments. If direct deposits from the Veterans
Administration are late in arriving, these students will be held
responsible for their school bill payments just as the other students.
Providence Baptist College receives payment from the Veterans
Administration on a “credit-hour” basis. The following table
shows a breakdown of benefit levels:

Veterans’ Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Any veteran not maintaining at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point
average will be put on academic counseling by the college.
Students not maintaining a “C” average (2.0 GPA) while on
academic counseling will be placed in the Survey Program.
Courses taken in the Survey Program will not lead to regular
college credit. Students may not receive benefits while in the
Survey Program and would not be eligible to receive benefits for a
minimum of two regular semesters. For further details see
“Academic Counseling”.
Veterans must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress in order
to continue training at Providence Baptist College. To maintain
satisfactory academic progress, veterans must complete each
course with at least a “C average (2.0 GPA), complete the program
25
within the specified time period for the program, and have no more
than three unexcused absences per course. Failure to achieve these
requirements in any one course will result in the veteran failing
that course and being placed on probation.
Veterans on probation will be required to retake the class they have
failed before moving on to the next class of the program. Veterans
on probation can receive federal veterans’ education benefits for
the class for which they are required to retake. Veterans who
successfully complete a class for which they are required to retake
while on probation will be considered maintaining satisfactory
academic progress and can proceed with taking other required
classes for completion of the program. Veterans who fail to
successfully complete a class for which they are required to take
while on probation will be dismissed from Providence Baptist
College.
Grading Scale:
A=92-100
B=91-83
C=82-74
D=73-65
F=Below 65
Reinstatement
Students dismissed for failing to meet the satisfactory academic
progress policy can petition the college for reinstatement one year
after being dismissed. Reinstatement decisions will be made on an
individual basis by a Providence Baptist College advisor and will
take into consideration whether the student has the desire and
capability to successfully complete the program. Veterans
dismissed for conduct will not be considered for reinstatement.
Graduation Requirements
A student will graduate upon successful completion of each course
of their program of education. Successful completion requires a
passing grade of “C” (2.0 GPA) in each course of study, no more
than three unexcused absences in each course of study, and
completion of each course of study within the specified time period
26
for the program. Upon successful completion of the program, a
student will receive a certificate of completion from Providence
Baptist College.
Credit for Previous Education and Training
Credit for previous education and training experience must be
evaluated and may be granted. Such a grant of credit is at the
discretion of Providence Baptist College. This credit will shorten
the length and cost of the program proportionately. The school is
required to maintain a written record of previous education and
training experiences which indicates that credit has been given,
where appropriate, by the school for noted experiences and provide
evidence of the evaluation.
Refund Policy
All tuition is subject to the following pro-rata refund policy:

WRITTEN PERSONAL TESTIMONY
Since Providence Baptist College is

applicants must give a testimony of
having received Him as their personal
Savior. A written personal testimony of
applicant’s assurance of salvation is
required with the application.
30
the
CHARACTER REFERENCES
The Administration and Faculty have a deep conviction that we
endeavor to provide not only the best academic and practical
training, but the best spiritual training as well. Building Christian
character and spirituality is a prime goal of the college.
Each applicant must give as references the names and addresses of
three acquaintances (his/her pastor and two other non-family
members) to give testimony regarding his/her salvation and
Christian character. All three references must be received by the
Admissions Office prior to registration.
Each student is required to abide by the standards of Christian
conduct as set forth in the student handbook which is disbursed at
registration. These standards are based on the Word of God and
are what we believe that every Christian ought to adhere to.
(I Corinthians 4:1; I Timothy 3:1-7)
Providence Baptist College believes that the goal of every
Christian is soulwinning and building God’s work. We will not
allow any of our faculty, staff, or students to be critical of Christian
leaders or other Christian colleges. A prospective student must
have a testimony of adherence to this policy in order to be
considered for admission to Providence Baptist College. He or she
may be denied admission to Providence Baptist College if he or
she has been guilty of violating this principle.
Note: Providence Baptist College maintains academic, financial,
and ministry performance records. In IAW of the Family Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974, “all current and former students have a
right to access their education records.”
CHURCH ATTENDANCE
All requests to attend any church other than Northwest Bible
Baptist Church of Elgin should be directed to the Dean of Ministry.
Normally only those requests concerning students’ home churches
in the Chicagoland area will be considered for exception.
31
TRANSCRIPT AND TRANSFER INFORMATION
TRANSCRIPTS FROM OTHER COLLEGES
All transcripts from other colleges must be sent directly to
Providence Baptist College, whether or not credits have been
received. It is expected that transfer students be in good standing
at the college last attended. Credit is given for all subjects which
are equivalent to those offered in our catalog and in which a grade
of “C” or better was earned.
An evaluation of a transcript must be made by the Academic Dean
to determine which credits can be accepted and to determine the
classification of a transfer student. Normally a student must earn
at least 32 semester credit hours in residence at Providence Baptist
College, the last 12 of which must be in residence with Providence
Baptist College (as opposed to a corresponding course) in order to
receive a certificate from this institution. Credit toward a
certificate will not normally be transferred from more than two
institutions. (Exception: The Academic Dean will review credits
from any number of schools which were attended while the student
was in the military service.)
Under some circumstances, college credit from Accelerated
Christian Education College extension centers will be accepted.
For more information, write to the Academic Dean of Providence
Baptist College.
Students wanting to take courses at other colleges during the
summers between regular semesters while enrolled at Providence
Baptist College must receive written permission in advance in
order to have these credits transferred. This approval will come
from the Academic Dean and must include approval of the college
and specific courses to be transferred. This will also be subject
under the rules for transfer of credits. Normally, no more than 6
credits can be transferred from other colleges once the residence
program has begun.
32
PROVIDENCE VIDEO CORRESPONDENCE
COURSES
Providence Baptist College students may transfer a maximum of 6
credits from other colleges or Providence’s video courses once the
residence program has begun.
Students currently enrolled as full-time students may take a
Providence video course during the semester for which they are
registered. Payment for the video course may be paid by the
student’s semester tuition. (i.e. A student is registered for 16
credits, but also wishes to take 2 credits by video course. The
student would have no additional tuition charge, since he would
have a total of 18 credits.)
In order for existing tuition payments to pay for a PBC video
course, the student must register for the course by the semester add
date. Also, the correspondence course must be completed by the
end of the semester in which the class was registered. If a student
does not register for a PBC correspondence course by the add date,
semester tuition will not cover the course tuition and the student
must pay the video course fee of $150 per credit hour for the video
course. However, the student will not be held to complete the
course by the end of the semester.
A $50 material fee will be charged per course for any student
registering for a PBC video course in addition to any tuition that
may be due.
TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS
Students wanting a copy of their transcripts must submit a written
request. All financial obligations with Providence Baptist College
must be current. Your transcript request must be submitted well in
advance of when you need it. Copies will be sent at the student’s
request. A ($2) charge per transcript must be paid in advance.
33
PLACEMENT TESTS
Providence Baptist College offers the
following placement tests, which cover
introductory courses taught by the college.
English Placement Test - All students
who are required to take English Grammar
and Composition (EN 101) must take the
English placement test during the first class period the class meets.
Those who do not take the test or those who fail the test must
complete the non-credit English course (EN 99) and take the
placement test again before enrolling in EN 101. Anyone who
does exceptionally well on the English placement test may
substitute another approved course for English Grammar and
Composition (EN 101).
Basic Math Test - All students who have not successfully
completed at least 2 1/2 years of high school math (to include
Algebra I and Geometry) must take the Basic Math Test. Those
who fail the test will be required to take the non-credit Basic Math
course (MA 99). In addition, all students taking Personal Finance
must pass this test as a prerequisite.
Basic Keyboarding - All secretarial students should take the Basic
Keyboarding placement test to determine whether their
keyboarding skills would allow them to substitute another
approved course for the Basic and/or Advanced Keyboarding class.
Basic Music Theory Test - All Elementary Education majors
must either pass the Basic Music Theory Test or enroll in the
Music Theory I course (MU 111). Music majors may substitute
another course for Music Theory I by passing the placement test.
Basic Word Processing Test - Students must pass this test in
order to substitute an elective or an additional computer class for
the Basic Word Processing course.
34
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
THE FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM
Any student who does not have a diploma from high school and
who has not passed a G.E.D. test, but is 20 years of age or older,
may obtain a degree through the five-year program. This program
is developed with the Academic Dean on a case-by-case basis.
This student will take 160 semester hours for his/her degree.
Thirty-two hours of this program will be designed to help the
student achieve proficiency in areas in which he/she has academic
deficiencies. The student who prefers to finish school in 128 hours
may receive a certificate indicating his/her completion of the
hours; however, this certificate is not to be confused with a regular
college diploma.
35
FOREIGN STUDENTS
Providence Baptist College has been approved by the Department
of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service for the training
of non-immigrant students. International students should apply for
admission to Providence Baptist College well in advance of when
they plan to register as a student. The government requires that
before the forms to assist the international student in entering
America to study can be issued from the college, the prospective
student must:
1. Complete the application procedure and be accepted as a
student at Providence Baptist College.
2. Furnish adequate evidence of his/her ability to meet his/her
financial responsibilities. It is very unusual for F1/M1
students to be able to work off-campus. This permission is
given by the federal government, not Providence Baptist
College.

GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION
GRADING SYSTEM
PBC uses the four-point system of grading:
A…………………………...4 honor points per semester hour
B…………………………...3 honor points per semester hour
C…………………………...2 honor points per semester hour
D…………………………….1 honor point per semester hour
F o WF……………………..0 honor points per semester hour
WD……………….withdrawn from the class with no penalty
39
No “D” hours are allowed in your major field of study.
All Pastoral Theology, Pastoral Assistant, Evangelism, and
Missions majors must make at least a “C” in all Bible courses,
Church Education, Personal Evangelism, and Preaching. All
students other than Pastoral, Pastoral Assistant, Evangelism, and
Missions majors may receive credit for a “D” in Church Education.
At the close of each semester, every student that is financially
current will receive a copy of their transcript. Students with
delinquent accounts will receive their transcript upon receipt of the
overdue payment.
ACADEMIC COUNSELING
It is the goal of Providence Baptist College that every student
complete a program of study! Almost all programs require the
student to have an overall “C” average to graduate.
Immediately after midterm time, each student’s GPA is reviewed,
and those students that are not achieving an overall “C” average
will be placed on “academic watch”. These students will be
required to meet with the instructors of each deficient class on a
weekly basis to help improve their academic standing.
In addition, an academic counselor will be assigned to this student
which will monitor their progress and assist as needed.
By the end of the semester, this student should have an overall “C”
average (2.00 cumulative GPA). In the event that a student does
not meet this requirement (an overall “C” average) by the end of
the semester, he/she will then be placed in a program of academic
counseling for the duration of one academic year.
Students in the Academic Counseling Program and the Survey
Program must meet with the Academic Dean every semester and
receive the Academic Counseling Policy flyer. In addition, an
academic counselor will review any previous semester’s
counseling records and all grades at this time. Any student who
refuses to meet with the Academic Dean or to meet regularly with
40
an academic counselor will be dismissed from Providence Baptist
College.
Phase One Counseling Schedule – The student will meet monthly
with a counselor in an attempt to attain a “C” average. Above a
“C” average must be earned each semester until an overall “C”
average is attained through the remainder of the student’s program
of study.
Phase Two Counseling Schedule – After one semester, students not
maintaining a “C” average while on the Phase One Counseling
Schedule will be placed in this program. They will take a
maximum of 16 credits and must meet weekly with a counselor. If
a student has a “C” average at the end of a semester, then he may
go back to Phase One. If not, students will be in Phase Two
counseling until reaching a “C” average.
UNIT OF CREDIT
The unit of credit is the semester hour. A semester hour is one
forty-minute period of instruction per week for 16-18 weeks per
semester. No student may carry over 19 semester hours without
special permission. In addition, no student may take more than 21
credits per semester.
GRADUATION
At least 128 hours must be earned for the four-year certificate. In
addition, a student must have a “C” average (2.00 GPA) in the
courses taken in their area of emphasis to receive the four-year
certificate. (In some certificate programs, this may necessitate the
student taking more than the minimum 128 semester hours.)
A candidate for graduation for the four-year certificate must have
taken a minimum of 32 semester hours at Providence Baptist
College, the last 12 of which in residence, and have met the normal
requirements for a major field of study. If a student is expecting to
march in any graduation ceremony, the student must inform the
office of the Academic Dean one semester before he/she expects to
march in the graduation exercises.
41
All work must be completed and grades received at least 60 days
prior to graduation in order to march in the graduation exercises.
No one may march in the graduation exercises unless his/her
cumulative grade point average at the end of the fall semester
preceding graduation is at least 1.8.
No one may march in the graduation exercises if their school bill
has a remaining balance in excess of $1000 30 days prior to
graduation, or if they have more than two outstanding classes
remaining to be completed. The credits must be completed in
residence.
In order to graduate with a four-year certificate, a student attending
Providence Baptist College must work in a church’s soulwinning
ministry every semester he/she is enrolled as a student. The details
of this requirement or exceptions may be obtained from the Dean
of Ministry.
HONORS
Each year at the graduation exercises, a valedictorian and
salutatorian will be announced. This honor is bestowed upon two
graduating seniors who have the highest cumulative grade point
average while attending Providence Baptist College.
A minimum of 90 hours must be completed at PBC to be eligible
for these honors. Correspondence work done while enrolled at
Providence Baptist College will not be considered as classroom
work completed at the college. Thus, the grades earned in
correspondence courses will not be averaged into the selection of
the valedictorian or salutatorian. All course work, including
correspondence, must be completed in order for a student to be
eligible for Valedictorian/Salutatorian honors.

Prerequisites
Permission of the instructor is required. Enrollment in private
lessons is a privilege as well as being a requirement of Music
Education majors and Secondary Education majors with music as
an area of emphasis. If, in the opinion of the instructor, a student
lacks proper commitment to his/her lessons, the teacher shall
consult with the Academic Dean to determine whether
continuation in private lessons will be allowed. (This could then
necessitate a change of major.)
Practice
Students are required to practice
a minimum of five hours per
week.
If you are a Music
Education major, the minimum
of ten hours per week is
encouraged.
Seminars
In addition to the private lesson
itself, the teacher will conduct
occasional
seminars
with
selected students who are
working on similar material.
Performance
At the discretion of the teacher,
periodic performance classes will be called so students may
perform in groups for each other.
Attendance
Because of the special nature of private lessons, a student who is
more than five minutes tardy will be counted absent. After three
unexcused absences, lessons for the semester will be discontinued
and the student will be disenrolled from his/her field of study.
55
Continuation
Before any student is allowed to enroll in MU 351 (Private
Lessons, junior year), he/she must receive approval from a faculty
committee.
Approval may require performance, written
examination, and a conference.
Recital/Project
At the instructor’s discretion, a junior and a senior recital will be
assigned as the final exam for private lessons.

Why should you come to Providence Baptist College? Of all the
opportunities and advantages offered, balance is the overriding
concept which ties it all together. This balance is in work, in ministry,
in academics, in social life, and in personal life. Our desire is that
Providence Baptist College produces fundamental, independent
Baptist graduates who will serve God the rest of their lives because of
their love for Christ.
We invite you to be a part.
