MISSION
The Mission of Increasing Faith Bible College is to have an atmosphere of education where our Learners may obtain Biblical instruction. Our mission is to help Leaders to understand the Word of GOD because the Bible tells us that we should all “Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not be ashamed” according to II Timothy 2:15. The Word of GOD also tells us in II Timothy 2:24, “And Servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach.
VISION
Our vision is to advance the Kingdom of GOD through our in-depth and prayerful impartation of GOD’s Word. Through obedience to HIS guidance and the support of like-minded Servants of the Most High GOD, this vision is now coming to pass. We are a School of knowledge seeking Pastors, Leaders and Parishioners, whose desire is to launch out into the deep things of GOD, by having a thirst and hunger for righteousness and understanding.

ADMINISTRATION
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Increasing Faith Bible College is a 10-month accelerated Accredited College. Student Learners are expected to check in virtually every week: Two (2) nights a week for two (2) hours, per class. Missing over two (2) classes per term, can result in an incomplete grade for the course. Adjustments of grades because of absences and tardiness will be the discretion of the instructor in conjunction with school policy.
Credit students are expected to attend each class. In the event of necessary absences, make-up assignments must be arranged with the professor. Absences of more than two classes per term will result in automatic failure of the course. Two unexcused tardies counts as one absence.
MIXED EXAMS
Students absent without excuse on the dates of mid-term exams or finals will receive zero points on the test. Absences will be excused at the discretion of the professor. Make up exams must be completed within one week of the actual test and must be obtained in advance. The Academic Dean must approve any exception.
A student who fails to complete all course requirements will receive an incomplete and is allowed 30 days from the last day of class to complete course requirements. If requirements are incomplete beyond this extension, the “I” will be changed to an “F”.
GRADE REPORTS
Grade reports are issued to each student at the end of each term as long as financial obligations have been met. It is expected that the work done will represent faithfulness and conscientious application on the part of every student. Although grades are not regarded as an end in themselves, they usually represent not only the student’s knowledge on the subject but also the student’s diligence in studying it.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
A student falls below a 2.0 GPA in two (2) successive quarters, will be on academic probation for the following semester. Failure to remove oneself from probation after the quarters will result in dismissal from the credit program. Should a dismissed student desire to apply for readmission, the student may apply to the Academic Dean for an evaluation of the cause for dismissal. If the student is deemed capable of 2.0 or above work, the student may be readmitted on academic probation.
TRANSCRIPTS
A transcript containing the cumulative record of courses taken, and grades and credits earned, is kept for each student. Transcripts may be released only to another educational institution via mail. Official transcripts require a $10 fee. Unofficial transcripts will be mailed for $5.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Candidates for graduation in the degree program must satisfactorily complete all required curricula, maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.0 and meet all financial obligations – NO EXCEPTIONS!! Additionally, every student is expected to abide by IFBC Honor and Integrity Standards outlined in this catalog.
