-- TAPING -- Since the long-range goal of the Ephesians 4 Center for Learning is to educate and strengthen as many individuals as possible in the Body of Christ, we have chosen to permit both video and audio taping of all classroom sessions, provided that the methods used to tape the class to do not hinder in any way the instructor from teaching or the students from learning. Should taping efforts prove to be a distraction or a hindrance for either the instructor or the students, the individual(s) will be asked to stop until such time as they are able to work out an arrangement that is mutually satisfactory to the professor and them. -- PROBLEMS -- If you come into personal or financial difficulty, or if a problem develops concerning some aspect of the Ephesians 4 Center for Learning, please consult with one of the staff immediately. Do not allow any problem to grow until it becomes insurmountable. You should especially speak to a staff member if you are thinking about withdrawing from the Ephesians 4 Center for Learning. We are ready to do all that we can to help you to obtain maximum benefit from your studies. -- DIFFERENCES OF OPINION -- You are not expected to agree with everything that will be taught by our various instructors. But you are expected to treat the views of the lecturers and of your fellow students with respect. If you disagree with something that is being taught, you should listen as openly as possible, giving due attention to everything the Holy Spirit may be trying to say to you. You should not expect the Holy Spirit to speak to every student in the same way, nor to lead him or her all in the same direction. God has a multifaceted plan to suit the extraordinary diversity that exists in the church. There is much that we can all learn from each other's differences. In assignments you will be free to express your own views, but at other times you will be required to show that you understand alternative viewpoints, and specifically to express that different opinion, even if it conflicts with your personal beliefs. You should follow the instructions of your teachers in the preparation of assignments. -- VISITORS -- Visitors are welcome into the classroom. All that we require of them is that they make some donation at the end of the class, based on their financial situation and the benefit which they received from the class and that they fill in a simple, one-page registration form which allows us to inform them and all of our other students of upcoming classes and events. Under no circumstances will the information given in this Registration Form be made available to other organizations, particularly for the purposes of marketing. -- QUESTIONS -- You are encouraged to ask questions during classes. If you want to ask a question, do not just call out; please raise your hand, and wait for the instructor to respond. Remember also that the compressed nature of the course does not always allow time for extended discussion of problem areas. Usually you will have to be content with the instructor's response (even if you continue to disagree) and allow him or her to continue on with the class. You will be able to find time to receive greater clarity over a period of time and in a personal or group discussion. Special time will be set aside after each classroom session for questions and personal ministry time. -- DRESS CODE -- There are no prescribed forms of dress. However, you are asked to bear in mind the following standards: Cleanliness Students who fail to observe those standards will be asked to leave that particular class session until more modest apparel can be put on. This particularly applies to exposure of undergarments of any kind and the excessive exposure of body parts deemed necessary of modesty by Scripture. Clothing items with offensive phrases or pictures, particularly of a sexual or Satanic nature, will not be allowed in class. --
GENERAL BEHAVIOR -- While it is always true that Christians reflect their faith by the way they live, it is particularly true of Ephesians 4 Center for Learning students. People rightly expect your conduct to be of a very high standard. Furthermore, how you behave affects the image of the Ephesians 4 Center for Learning. We are confident that you will strive always to bring honor to your school and to Christ by an example of mature godliness. -- NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY -- The Ephesians 4 Center for Learning admits students of any race, religion, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national and ethnic origin, or sex in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships, and loan programs. The Ephesians 4 Center for Learning does not discriminate in admission or access to or treatment or employment in this program and activities in respect to those with impaired vision, hearing or physical mobility.
