Live Instruction and Scheduled Breaks

When an academic term overlaps Holy Week or Christmas break, professors will adjust live class instruction to accommodate the observance while preserving FEBI’s required instructional hours and course learning outcomes. Students will be notified of any adjustments through their course syllabi or by their professors. Published term dates reflect the standard academic calendar; individual live class meeting schedules may vary. For Term 5 in 2026, the ten-week term concludes December 27, although its final live instruction is December 23.

Dropping/Adding Courses

You may drop or add courses during the first two weeks of the course without penalty. After this period, you must obtain approval from the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the course instructor. Please consult the Academic Calendar for specific dates and deadlines.

Withdrawing from Courses

Students who find it necessary to withdraw from a course may do so through the end of the seventh week of the 10-week academic term. Students must submit a formal withdrawal request to the Registrar’s Office at registrar@fullyequippedbibleinstitute.org to initiate the withdrawal process. Students who withdraw after the first two weeks but no later than the end of Week 7 will receive a grade of “W” (Withdrawal) on their official academic transcript, which will not affect their cumulative grade point average (GPA). Courses dropped during the first two weeks will not appear on the student’s academic transcript. Withdrawals will not be permitted after the end of Week 7, and students who discontinue participation after this deadline will receive the grade earned based on their coursework and applicable grading policies.

Tuition refunds are available only during the first two weeks of the course, in accordance with FEBI’s established refund policy. No tuition refunds will be issued after the second week. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their academic advisor before withdrawing, as withdrawal may affect academic progress, scholarship eligibility, and degree completion timelines. Failure to attend classes or complete assignments does not constitute official withdrawal, and students who do not complete the formal withdrawal process may receive a failing grade.
