Academics
Assessment, grading and completion.
Assessment exists to measure what a programme set out to teach. Nothing on this page describes a result that has been issued — the College publishes the framework, not invented records.
Assessment types
Each programme uses the combination its outcomes require. A module is not given a test simply to produce a grade.
Quiz
Checks recall and comprehension of module material.
Reflection
A short structured piece connecting study to the learner's own ministry.
Written assignment
Extended written work assessed against stated criteria.
Case study
Analysis of a real or representative ministry situation.
Practical ministry exercise
Applied work carried out in the learner's own context.
Presentation
Oral communication of study to peers and faculty.
Project
A larger piece of applied work spanning several modules.
Participation
Contribution to live class discussion, where a module assesses it.
Final assessment
A concluding assessment of the programme's core outcomes.
Grading
The College has not adopted an official grading scale. The system stores scores and outcomes; the scale itself is set by academic approval.
- Numeric score per assessment
- Grade, once an official scale is approved
- Pass / not yet complete, where a grade is inappropriate
- Written feedback from the lecturer
- Assessment weighting within a module
- Final module and programme outcome
Completion requirements
- 1Complete the lessons required by each module
- 2Meet the attendance requirement for the cohort, or view the recording of a missed class
- 3Submit and pass the assessed work set for each module
- 4Meet the standard set for the final assessment
- 5Remain in good standing under the College's academic conduct policy
- 6Hold financial clearance, where the College requires it for credential issuance
Non-negotiable principles
- Academic completion and payment are separate. Paying fees never produces academic completion.
- Completion is recorded from assessed academic work, not from attendance alone.
- A credential follows completion; graduation celebrates it. Neither can be triggered by payment.
The academic record
Once the secure institutional system is live, each enrolled student holds one academic record in MIS Web containing:
- Programme and language track
- Cohort
- Modules taken
- Assessment results
- Attendance summary
- Completion status
- Academic standing
- Credential status
What the College will not do
- Academic records are held in MIS Web and produced from real assessed work only.
- The College does not describe any document as an official transcript unless its approved academic policy authorises one.
- Credential wording is set by the College. Terms such as degree, diploma or accredited certificate are used only where legally verified.
- The LMS teaches the curriculum; MIS records the outcome. Both read the same approved programme definitions.
