Veterans General Information
Absenteeism
Excused absences will be granted for extenuating circumstances only. Excused absences will be substantiated by entries in students files. Early departures, class cuts, tardies, etc., for any portion of an hour will be counted as a full hour of absence.
Students exceeding two and one-half (2 ½) days unexcused absences in a calendar month will be terminated for unsatisfactory attendance.
Record
Permanent student progress records are maintained by the West Florida Baptist Institute. Written grade reports will be furnished to students at the end of each semester. Students desiring a transcript of records sent to other institutions will be required to make a request to the Dean of records. A small fee is required for mailing and handling purposes. No transcript will be issued if the student has not settled all financial obligations. No permanent grades will be posted until all financial obligations have been met.
Re-entrance Policy
Veteran students may be re-certified to the VA only if there is a reasonable likelihood that the individual student will be able to maintain satisfactory progress in the future.
Refund Policy For Veterans
The refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges for eligible persons who fail to enter a course or withdraw or discontinue prior to completion will be made for all amounts paid which exceed the approximate pro rate portion of the total charges that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to the total length of the course. The proration will be determined on the ratio of the number of days or hours of instruction completed by the student to the total number of instructional hours.
Transfers for veterans
Credit for previous training will be evaluated and granted, if appropriate, by West Florida Baptist Institute. Training time will be shortened and tuition reduced proportionately with the VA and the Veteran or eligible person notified.
State and Veterans transfer of credits from this institution to other institutions is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
