Every course I have taken has been miraculously timed by the Lord to fit in with the questions I had, the skills I needed to develop practically or issues I needed to think through at the time. (Graduate in Thailand)



Asia has a plethora of religions and invites a tendency to blend some of the old practices . . . That's why we insist that students be able to discern what is biblical, what is unbiblical; what is truth, what is untruth; and not simply accept everything that is presented to them. (Dr. Nienhuis)



I did not just learn about the knowledge but the life examples of the professors and everyone in ABTS. Your examples challenged us to go to the mission field by faith. (Hong Kong Student)

 

Withdrawals

Courses may be dropped without penalty before the second day of a residence seminar or during the first week of an extension course. Permission to withdraw from a class after that time must be specifically requested from the professor, the country coordinator or the ABTS Headquarters office. Courses will be treated as follows on the student’s record:

 

       Official Record  Extension Courses   Residence Seminars
 No record on transcript       First week  First day of seminar
   W - no effect on GPA     Tenth week  Last day of seminar
            WP or WE*  10th to 14th week   First to third month
                  WE    After 14th week      After 3 months

*Between the 10th and 14th week of an extension course, or before the due date for post-seminar assignments, a student will receive WP or WE depending on the quality and amount of assignments submitted in relationship to the date of withdrawal.

WP (withdrawn passing) will have no effect on GPA. WE (withdrawn failing) is treated as an F for GPA.
