Kenneth Copeland Bible College (KCBC) is committed to maintaining an atmosphere conducive to the development of students for ministry who have made a commitment to Jesus Christ and a lifestyle based upon the Bible.  Our philosophy and policies reflect the heritage of faith and personal integrity that Kenneth Copeland Ministries is known for.  Therefore, every student must recognize this about KCBC and exemplify conduct that reflects excellence.

KCBC’s Standards of Conduct are established for the guidance of all students.  Infractions will lead to corrective action up to and including withdrawal.  The type of disciplinary action imposed will be at KCBC’s discretion.  While the principles of progressive discipline, i.e. verbal, written, final written/suspension and withdrawal are generally applicable, KCBC reserves the right to take whatever action it may deem appropriate.

Behavior

All students are expected to maintain high standards of character with consistent attitudes of friendliness, teachability, and a love and concern for others.  It is essential that our students treat each other, and those with whom they come in contact, with courtesy, respect, professionalism and that they work cooperatively and constructively in resolving issues or problems.  The following list is representative of behaviors and activities which may result in corrective action and/or dismissal:
