Below is a list of categories to which new students can be accepted.

New Students

These are students who have completed the entire admissions process by submitting all required information and who have been approved into a degree program.

Readmitted Students

All students who DO NOT formally withdraw (through the Academic Records Office) are required by school policy to reapply. The amount of material that must be submitted is dependent upon how many semesters one is out of school. Students who DO formally withdraw can contact the Admissions Office to see if additional materials are required before re-enrolling for classes.

Non-Southern Baptist Applicants

Many Boyce College applicants are not from a Southern Baptist background. While all students attending Boyce College receive the same educational experience that is subsidized by the tithe dollars of the Southern Baptist Convention, only Southern Baptist students qualify for the financial subsidy. Students who desire to affiliate with the Southern Baptist Convention for career service but are not current members of a SBC church are eligible to receive the SBC tuition rate if they complete a standardized covenant form available from the Admissions Office. In the standardized verification form, applicants will document their intention to serve within the Southern Baptist Convention and to sever their ties with their previous denomination. The Covenant Agreement Form must be received by August 1 for the Fall Semester, December 1 for the Winter Term and Spring Semester, and May 1 for the Summer Term. Within that first semester, the student must establish membership in a local southern Baptist congregation. By the end of the first semester, the student must complete a Membership Verification Form, available from Student Services. Completion of this form will allow the student to continue receiving the SBC tuition rate.

Applicants Recently Divorced

Applicants who are divorced must wait a minimum of one calendar year before they can be considered for admission. Upon receipt of the application materials, additional information may be required, including an interview with the Dean of Students.

Academic Probation

Students lacking a 2.0 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale) may be admitted on a case-by-case basis under Academic Probation. The student must maintain a “C” average for the first two semesters in order for Academic Probation to be removed.

Delayed Admission

This status is granted on a case by case basis to students who for a variety of reasons are not able to be considered for immediate admission. Upon receipt of requested materials and documentation, these students will be reconsidered for the following semester.
