STUDENT DICIPLINE

Since Andhra Bible College is dedicated to training students who are genuinely desirous of living a Christ-honoring life, those entrusted with the leadership of the College have resolved that both students and faculty be encouraged to maintain high standards of Christian behavior both on and off campus. 

Because all standards of conduct are based on a Biblical philosophy, the College specifically rejects the false, unscriptural position of situation ethics, secular humanism, pragmatism, and all forms of relativism. Every deed, word, thought, attitude, and motive should be brought into submission to the teaching of God's Word and should glorify God. Christians have an obligation to love God, to love one another, and to show God's love to non-Christians. It is this love, which motivates them to live according to Biblical standards of ethics rather than an unscriptural legalism, which the Bible condemns. 

To insure the maintenance of Biblical standards and to produce an atmosphere conducive to spiritual and academic excellence, the following activities are to be avoided: use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, illegal drugs, sexual immorality, and other worldly activities or forms of entertainment which are inconsistent with Biblical principles including music which is contrary to the standards set up by the College Music Department. Attendance at movie theaters and viewing videos online and other objectionable matters are prohibited. 

Those who evidence through either conduct or attitude that they are unwilling to abide by the Lifestyle Commitment will be summoned to meet with the Administrative Committee and may be subject to dismissal, depending on their responsiveness to the counsel of the Committee.
