• Homework Policy

    Homework counts as 1/3 of the final grade.

    SGTS has a homework policy that allows students to submit work by the Sunday following the Thursday due date. For example: class is on 8/17/2023, homework is due 8/24/2023, the cut-off date is 8/27/2023. This policy needs to be strictly followed barring extreme circumstances. Therefore, the cut-off date is set for homework in each class. Submissions will not be accepted after that date.

    According to the individual instructor's preference, homework may be emailed or sent by regular mail. However, mail MUST be received by the cut-off date, or it will not be graded. Assignments not received or uploaded by the cut-off date will receive a grade of zero unless due to extreme circumstances. Please notify the instructors as soon as possible if this happens. This policy replaces any previous policy. Students must sign the Homework Policy Clause found in the Required Forms folder.     

    ABSENTEE POLICY for IN-HOUSE CLASSES

    Students may miss 6 class nights per semester and still pass the course.

    Three points will be deducted for each absence.

    Students are allowed 1 (ONE) excused absence (NO POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM GRADE) for ministry work in which the student is the primary participant for preaching, singing, or music.

    Students will be excused (NO POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM GRADE) for a death in the immediate family; or for a hospital stay for the student, child, or elderly parent.

    However, students will not be awarded perfect attendance unless no classes are actually missed.

    The seminary weather policy is:

    • If there are warnings and curfews, follow safety regulations.
    • If individual situations make it necessary or safer to stay in place, students will not be marked absent - even if classes are not canceled.
    • Do what is best when the time comes. Be Safe!
