Dear Prospective Student, At Crossroads Bible College, we are on the cutting edge of preparing Christian leaders for biblical multiethnic urban ministry. We desire to partner with God to train Christian leaders from every ethnic and cultural background to impact our diverse urban world for Christ! We are expanding the opportunity for a Crossroads education in a number of ways. Recently, we launched our innovative Urban Leadership major. Our accelerated degree completion program now includes an Associate of Arts degree and additional majors, including Biblical Counseling and Urban Leadership. College Park Church, located on the north side of Indianapolis, is now an offsite Crossroads location. The endorsement of Tony Dungy, the former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts speaks of our passion to be champions. The Tony and Lauren Dungy Family of Scholarships along with other financial assistance has increased the number of scholarships we offer! Training goes beyond the classroom. Crossroads is partnering with local ministries, including public schools to create opportunities to practice in the field what students are learning in the classroom. We are here to make a difference in Indianapolis and beyond. If you desire solid biblical teaching within an ethnically and culturally diverse environment, with a focus on reaching an urban world, prayerfully consider CBC. We are training Christian leaders for the 21st century. Our future looks brighter than ever! If you desire to become part of a family of leaders trained to impact a multiethnic urban world for Christ, call us now! Because of Christ, A. Charles Ware, D.D. President

C rossroads: A Story of Hope for the World For thirty years students have been trained to change the world for the glory of God! We are both pleased to be able to share a little of our story with you and honored that you are interested in what God has been doing at Crossroads. T he Story Begins with Dr. James S. Wells in 1980. As the Pastor of Zion Hope Baptist Church, Indianapolis, Indiana, he had a vision to change the educational and leadership opportunities for pastors and church leaders in the city of Indianapolis. Dr. Wells recruited Ken Davis and Clint Kaufield to help him organize a Bible Institute. The school began in the fall of 1980 in the church and was called Baptist Bible Institute and College of Indianapolis. The first class numbered fifty-five students from twelve local churches in the first semester. Dr. Wells served as the first president until his death in 1987. T he School Relocates with Pastor Marshall Watson who served as interim President until 1991. During this time, the school continued to grow and impact the city. In 1988, the school purchased a building located on North Kitley Avenue. This relocation allowed the school to expand its influence to reach a greater number of students, thus providing even greater educational and leadership opportunities in the growing urban center and state capital of Indiana. During the next two years the Board of Trustees undertook an extensive search for a new president. T he M ission C larifies with Dr. A. Charles Ware who became the second president in 1991. Several key decisions were made to clarify the mission of the school. First, a second relocation of the school occurred in 1996 due to a generous gift by the owner of a 43,000 square foot church building. This third home of the school was located on Shortridge Road on the east side of Indianapolis. Second, the college was granted accreditation with the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) in 1999. This educational achievement was a monumental step in the next phase of growth for the school as it allowed a greater number of students to attend the college. Third, in the year 2000 the name of the school was changed to Crossroads Bible College. What began as a missionary college became a college with a mission: to train Christian leaders to reach a multiethnic urban world for Christ. T he E ducational Programs E xpand with Additional degrees and educational programs were designed and implemented to accomplish the mission of the school. First, in 1995 a new accelerated degree completion program was approved and corresponding new majors were offered. Second, in 2009, a new baccalaureate degree in Urban Leadership was approved. This same year Crossroads entered into a formal partnership with Tony Evans Ministries (The Urban Alternative) and became the only college in America that offers a course designed from the materials of the National Church Adopt-A-School Initiative. Third, in 2010, CBC was approved to offer the Biblical Counseling degree program in the Acellerated format in Crown Point, IN, and the Urban Leadership degree program in the Accelerated format in Fort Wayne, IN. 3

O ur Commitments Bible colleges exist primarily to prepare students for Christian ministries through a program of biblical and theological, Christian ministry, and general studies. As professional colleges of higher education, these schools specialize in training for full-time Christian ministry. However, with the expansion of our educational programs, Crossroads is preparing students for leadership positions outside the formal structure of the church as well. All of our educational programs are centered on a biblical worldview. Purpose Crossroads Bible College exists to become a leading Bible college in the nation. We are committed to training Christian leaders by the Spirit of God, through the Word of God, to effectively make disciples of all nations in an increasingly urban world. Position and Practice Crossroads Bible College is committed to truth as revealed in the person of God and the Bible. As an evangelical school we are committed to both the message of the historic Christian gospel and the Christ-like character of the messenger of such good news. Since all Christians are one in Christ regardless of skin color and differences on the non-essential doctrines of the Christian faith, we are committed to demonstrate in practical ways our love for God and our love to one another. In other words, our position and practice is to communicate the compassion of Christ without compromising the truth of Christ. Philosophy of E ducation Crossroads Bible College finds great strength in a unified perspective for our existence. Central to this perspective is the sovereign, transcendent, triune God who has revealed Himself to His creatures in His Word andintheworld.WeformulateoureducationalphilosophyonGodsWord.Foundationaltoallfacetsoflifeare the presuppositions and conclusions one brings to bear on the significant questions of the world and our life in the world. Our philosophy of life is based on our affirmation that God is self-existent and all life finds its origin in Him. Each human being is an image-bearerofGodandisinafallenstateuntilredeemedbyGodsgrace. Our philosophy of truth is based on our affirmation that truth is revealed by God and does not originate with humankind.Inotherwords,alltruthisGodstruth.But,becauseofourfinite and fallen state, we are impaired in our ability to discover all known truth; thus, we are committed to know truth as revealed from God. The Bible is our basis for truth, and truth is the content of our teaching. Since knowledge is inseparable from reality and life, we educate not only for the acquisition of knowledge, but also for the purpose of life change. Our philosophy of culture is based on our affirmation that God displays His glory by creating immense diversity within the unity of His cosmos. The inherent and equal value of being human remains unchanged despite differences in culture, gender, and ethnicity. At Crossroads, we rejoice in the diversity of the body of Christ. As a result, we are committed to learning together within a multiethnic cultural context so that we can love people by serving them in a variety of cultural contexts around the world. Our philosophy of teaching is based on our desire for students to be biblically competent, spiritually mature, ministry skilled, socially compassionate, and ethnically sensitive servant leaders for the glory of God. We realize that students learn in different ways, therefore, our methods of teaching are varied and diverse. The ultimate aim of our teaching is to glorify God by bringing students into conformity to the image of Christ.

BRI E F D O C TRI N A L ST A T E M E N T
Section 1 - T he Scriptures: We believe that the Holy Bible, as originally written, is verbally inspired and the product of Spirit-controlled men, and therefore, has truth without any admixture of error for its matter. We believe the Bible to be the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be tried. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:19-21. Section 2 - T he T rue God: We believe there is one and only one living and true God, an infinite Spirit, the Maker and supreme Ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love. That in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. Exodus 20:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelations 4:11; 1 John 5:7. Section 3 - T he Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature. He was active in the creation, and that in His relation to the unbelieving world He restrains the evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled. He convicts of sin, of righteousness and of judgment and bears witness to the truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony. He is the Agent in the new birth; and He seals, baptizes, empowers, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies and helps the believer. John 14:16, 17; Matthew 28:19; Hebrews 9:14; John 14:26; Luke 1:35; Genesis 1:1-3; John 16:8-11; Acts 5:30-32; John 3:5, 6; Ephesians 1:13, 14; Mark 1:8; John 1:33; Acts 11:16; Luke 24:49; Romans 8:14, 16, 26, 27; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:18-21. Section 4 - T he Devil, O r Satan: We believe in the personality of Satan, as he is the unholy god of this age, and the author of all the powers of darkness; he is destined to the judgment of an eternal justice in the lake of fire. Matthew 4:1-3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelations 20:10. Section 5 C reation: We accept the Genesis account of creation and believe that humankind came by direct creation of God and not by evolution. Genesis 1 and 2; Colossians 1:16, 17; John 1:3. Section 6 - T he Fall of Man: We believe that humankind was created in innocence under the law of his Maker, but by voluntary transgression fell from his sinless and happy state in consequence by which all humankind are now sinners, not only by constraint, but of choice. Therefore, mankind is under just condemnation without defense or excuse. Genesis 3:1-6, 24; Romans 3:10-19; Romans 1:18, 32. Section 7 - T he Person of Christ: We believe that Jesus was begotten of the Holy Spirit in a miraculous manner, born of Mary, a virgin, as no other man was ever born or can be born of woman. He is both the Son of God and God the Son. Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:35; John 1:4. Section 8 - T he A tonement for Sin: We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God. By the appointment of the Father, He freely took upon our nature, yet without sin, honored the divine law by His personal obedience. His death made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins. His atonement consisted not just in setting us an example by His death, as a martyr, but was a voluntary substitution of Himself in the sinner's place; the just dying for the unjust. Christ, the Lord, bearing our sin in His own body on the tree, and that having risen from dead, He is now enthroned in heaven, and uniting in His wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfection, He is in every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Savior. Ephesians 2:8; Acts 15:11; Romans 3:24; John 3:16; Matthew 18:11; Philippians 2:7; Hebrews 2:14; Isaiah 53:4-7; Romans 3:25; 1 John 4:10; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21. Section 9 - G race in the New C reation: We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again. The new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus; and this new life is instantaneous and not a process. In the new birth, 11
the one dead in trespasses and in sins is made partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God. The new creation is brought about in a manner above our comprehension, not by culture, not by character, nor by the will of man, but solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth; so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the Gospel. Its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and faith and newness of life. John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 John 5:1; John 3:6-7; Acts 16:30-33; 2 Peter 1:4; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:1; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Colossians 2:13; John 1:12-13.
Section 10 - The F reeness of Salvation: We believe that God's electing grace and the blessings of salvation are made free to all through the Gospel. It is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial, penitent and obedient faith. Nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation. 1 Thessalonians 1:4; Colossians 3:12; 1 Peter 1:2; Titus 1:1; Romans 8:29, 30; Matthew 11:28; Isaiah 55:1; Revelations 22:17; Romans 10:13; John 6:37; Isaiah 55:6; Acts 2:38; Isaiah 55:7; John 3:15, 16; 1 Timothy 1:15; 1 Corinthians 11:10; Ephesians 2:4, 5; John 5:40; John 3:18; John 3:36.
Section 11 Justification: We believe that justification is the great Gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in Him. Justification includes the pardon of sin, and the gift of eternal life, based on principles of righteousness. This status is bestowed not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done; but solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood, and His righteousness imputed to us. Acts 13:39; Isaiah 53:11; Zechariah 13:1; Romans 8:1; Romans 5:1,9; Titus 3:5. Section 12 - Repentance and F aith: We believe that repentance and faith are solemn obligations and inseparable graces wrought in our souls by the quickening Spirit of God. Thereby, being deeply convicted of our guilt, danger and helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned contrition, confession and supplication for mercy. At the same time, heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ and openly confessing Him as our only and all-sufficient Savior. Acts 20:21; Mark 1:15; Acts 2:27-38; Luke 18:13; Romans 10:13; Psalms 51:1-4; Ps 51:7; Isaiah 55:6, 7; Luke 12:8; Romans 9:11. Section 13 - T he Local C hurch: We believe that a local church is a congregation of immersed believers, associated by covenant of faith and fellowship of the Gospel. These people observe the ordinances of Christ and are governed by His laws and exercise the gifts, rights and privileges invested in them by His Word. The officers are pastors and deacons, whose qualifications, claims and duties are clearly defined in the Scriptures. We believe the true mission of the Church is the faithful witnessing of Christ to all men as we have opportunity. We hold that the local church has the absolute right of self-government, free from the interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations. The one and only Superintendent is Christ through the Holy Spirit. It is scriptural for true churches to cooperate with each other in contending for the faith and for the furtherance of the Gospel. Each local church is the sole judge of the measure and method of its cooperation. In all matters of membership, of polity, of government, of discipline, of benevolence, the will of the local church is final. Acts 2:41, 42; 1 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22; Ephesians 4:11; Acts 20:17-28; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:23, 24; Acts 15:13-18. Section 14 - Baptism and the Lord's Supper: We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water to show forth, in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Savior, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life. It is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and is the public recognition of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Lord's Supper is the commemoration of His death until He comes, and should be preceded always by solemn self-examination. Acts 8:26-39; John 3:23; Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 3:16; Colossians 2:12; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28; Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 2:41,42. Section 15 - T he Security of the Saints: We believe that such only are real believers as endure unto the end. Their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from a superficial decision; and a special Providence watches over their welfare. They are kept by the power of God through faith unto eternal salvation. Philippians 1:6; John 10:28, 29; Romans 8:35-39; Jude 1:1; Pet 1:5. 12
Section 16 Sanctification: We believe that sanctification has a twofold meaning: (1) that of setting apart of things, days, or persons specifically for God, and that the believer at the time of his regeneration is so set apart by God the Father; (2) the progressive work of the Holy Spirit whereby the believer, obedient to the Word of God, experiences the power of the indwelling Christ for holiness of life and victory over the old nature, which work will be completed when the believer stands in Christ's presence. 1 Corinthians 1:30; Hebrews 10:10, 14; Colossians 1:26-28; John 17:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18. Section 17 - T he Righteous and the Unrighteous: We believe that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the unrighteous. Only through faith are we justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and sanctified by the Spirit of our God, are we truly righteous in His esteem while all continue in impenitence and unbelief are in His sight unrighteous, and under the curse. This distinction holds among men both in and after death, in the everlasting felicity of the saved and the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost. Malachi 3:18; Genesis 18:23; Romans 6:17, 18; 1 John 5:19; Romans 6:23; Proverbs 14:32; Luke 16:25; Matthews 25:34-41; John 8:21. Section 18 - Civil Government: We believe that civil government is of divine appointment for the interests and good order of human society. Government leaders are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored, and obeyed, except in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Lord of the conscience and the coming, Prince of the kings of the earth. Romans 13:1-7; 2 Samuel 23:3; Exodus 18:21, 22; Acts 23:5; Matthew 22:21; Acts 5:29; Acts 4:19, 20; Daniel 3:17, 18. Section 19 - T he Return of Christ and Related E vents: We believe that the return of Christ includes both the rapture of the Church and His return in glory. The first is for His Church which is personal, pretribulational, premillenial, and may occur at any moment. The second is His return to earth to establish His righteous reign over the earth. This coming is visible, personal, premillenial and in power and great glory.

Students arrive at Crossroads Bible College from different church heritages, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, educational achievements, incomes and ages, with the common purpose of studying, learning and applying the Word of God. Some students enroll directly from high school, while others come to Crossroads with undergraduate transfer credits. Diversity at Crossroads Bible College enriches every student, faculty, and staff member who has answeredGodscalltoserve. Student Body During the last five years, approximately forty-five percent of our students were African-American, forty-five percent were Caucasian and a small but increasing number were other ethnic Americans. Our student population adds a cross-cultural perspective to the classroom experience. With classes offered throughout the day, afternoon and evening hours, Crossroads is able to accommodate both full-time students and part-time day and evening students operating with many different schedules. E mployment Students who are seeking employment are encouraged to contact the Director of Operations. Crossroads offers a small number of work study positions each semester. Students should check the jobs board to consider opportunities that exist throughout the city of Indianapolis. Housing Crossroads Bible College now has a Residential Life Option" (RLO ) available for single students. They are housed in townhouses or apartments next to the campus. There are Resident Assistants who oversee the RLO units and are available for the resident student to assist in the nurturing and spiritual growth of each student. Resident Assistants invest time in mentoring, prayer, Bible study, and other social activities with students. Although Crossroads is still mainly a commuter college, adequate housing may be acquired with the assistance of the Office of Student Services. There are available apartments nearby at reasonable prices for both single and married students. Students moving here from other states have little difficulty finding housing. The Office of Admissions is available to serve students requiring housing. Spiritual E mphasis Crossroads desires to give our students not only a thorough and comprehensive education, but also a depth of personal devotion to the Lord. For this purpose, the College fosters a program of spiritual emphasis throughout our activities. Times of prayer are held at the College regularly. Throughout the school year various programs will be planned to encourage students in their personal walk with God. Students are encouraged to have regular prayer and Bible study (Mark 1:35; Isaiah 50:5; Psalm 5:3). Special E vents Crossroads Bible College sponsors special Bible conferences, leadership series, multiethnic conferences, mission conferences and other special events. Christian leaders from various Christian ministries are brought in to encourage and challenge our students with the growing opportunity to reach the world with the Gospel. C hapel A ttendance One of the many benefits in attending Crossroads Bible College is the opportunity to participate in chapel. The Bible says,Letusconsideroneanothertoprovoke unto love and to good works(Hebrews10:24, KJV) and, LetthewordofChristrichlydwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with 14
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God (Colossians 3:16, NASB). Students in class on days chapel services are held are required to attend Chapel. C hristian Service Christian service is an integral part of the educational program at Crossroads. Weekly field experience lays the foundation needed by graduates to serve with distinction in their chosen areas of ministry. Christian service is not an extra-curricular activity, but an essential part of the total training program. Therefore, satisfactory completion of a specific amount of Christian service is required for graduation. For more information contact the Student Service. D ress and G rooming Crossroads Bible college is committed to honoring God and training Christian men and women for ministry from all walks of life and from various cultures (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22; 1 Corinthians 8:9-13). Students are guided by their conscience and the Word of God to dress. While taste, styles, and opinions differ, students should remember that they represent Christ in their clothing choices. Guidelines for dress are intended to reflect a Christ honoring outward appearance that creates an atmosphere conducive to the goals of the College. In the interest of promoting an image that is God-pleasing, modest (nothing sexually explicit; maintaining a sense of shame), propriety (in-style but tasteful; well arranged, well ordered) and decency (does not draw attention to oneself, self-controlled) are expected at all times (1 Timothy 2:9 and 1 Peter 3:3-4.) Specifically, students should refrain from wearing clothing during College activities that are tight, sheer, revealing, low cut, or that has offensive language or logos. Respecting the guidelines and rules of dress and grooming and those who enforce them is a heart issue relating to obedience and submission versus disobedience and rebellion. Student C haracter and Conduct The College encourages students to cultivate, with all diligence, the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23; Eph. 5:8-21). As holy and loved children of God, students should clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, forgiveness, and most of all brotherly love, and do everything, whether in word or deed, in the name of the Lord Jesus with thanksgiving (Col. 3:12-17). The College does not provide extra biblical rules for students to follow that would foster legalism or pietism. Rather, the College expects students to live quiet and peaceable lives, devoted to the Word of God as their only ultimate rule for faith and practice, and to submit themselves fully and respectfully to all lawful familial, academic, ecclesiastical, and civil authorities. The College expects that students will regularly worship God with the assembled saints of His church (Ps. 95:67; Heb. 10:25); pray with praise, confession, thanksgiving, and petitions to our Heavenly Father (Matt. 6:9-13; 1 Thess. 5:17); read and submit to God's Word (Ps. 119:89-112); and encourage their fellow students to pursue peace, godliness, and reverence (1 Tim. 2:1-4). Students should exercise their Christian liberties not as an occasion to indulge the flesh, but to serve others out of love through the wise and moderate exercise of their liberty (Gal. 5:13-14; 1 Peter 2:13-16). By God's grace and through the church's instruction and discipline, students should abstain from the works of the flesh, such as sexual immorality, idolatry, hatred, discord, jealousy, wrath, selfish ambition, drunkenness, or debauchery, and to flee all temptations to those sins (Gal. 5:19-21, 24, 26; Eph. 5:3-7).

Registration Procedures Each student has an assigned faculty academic advisor. Each semester students are required to meet with their advisors prior to registration. However, each student is personally responsible for knowing the requirements for graduation in his or her selected program and complying with the academic and extra-curricular stipulations stated in this catalog. As part of the registration process, students must complete the course registration form (form can be completed and submitted via the College's website at www.crossroads.edu) and obtain financial approval from the Business Office before being officially registered for any course (see Financial Information). NOTE: Students may not register for any course requiring pre-requisites that have not been completed by the student without permission of the faculty instructor for that course. Course C ancellation The College reserves the right to cancel any announced course. However, once a course meets twice it will not be canceled. Schedule C hanges After the semester has begun and before registration is finalized (at the end of four weeks during Fall and Spring semesters), students may change their schedule, within certain limitations, by submitting a completed schedule change form and paying the appropriate fees. During Fall and Spring semesters (Summer and Winterim terms are adjusted proportionally), students may add courses to their schedule during the first two weeks of the semester with permission of the faculty instructor. Students may drop courses during the first four weeks without grade penalty. In addition, students may change their status for any course from credit to audit within the first four weeks (changes from audit to credit require permission of the faculty instructor). Registered students who have failed to attend class during the first four weeks (Fall and Spring semesters) will be automatically dropped at the beginning of the fifth week of classes unless prior arrangement has been made with the faculty instructor. A graduated scale for refunds on tuition (fees are non-refundable) is used when students drop courses within the first four weeks (see Refund Policy). D ropping a C lass Students may drop a class during the first four weeks of Fall and Spring semesters (Summer and Winterim terms are adjusted proportionally) without the class showing on their permanent record. After the fourth week, a student is permitted to withdraw from a class; however, a grade of W will appear on their permanent record. Students should be aware that a W grants no credit and will have no effect on the grade point average. Students may withdraw from a course before the end of the twelfth week by submitting a completed withdrawal form. Withdrawals are not permitted after the twelfth week. If a student stops attending class without officially withdrawing from the class, the student will likely receiver a grade of F. If there are extenuating circumstances that prohibit the student from completing the class, the student is encouraged to speak with their instructor and or academic advisor. W ithdrawal from A ll C lasses Students who find it necessary to withdraw from the College before completing the semester must submit a completed Withdrawal form. Withdrawal cannot be finalized until three prerequisites are met: (1) financial obligations must be met or a suitable arrangement made with the Business Office, (2) the Librarian must certify that all books are returned and all fines paid, and (3) the student must speak with the Dean of Enrollment Management and his or her academic advisor. All pertinent school regulations are binding until withdrawal procedures are finalized. Failure to complete withdrawal procedures may result in a final grade of "F" for all current courses. 20
FINANCIA L INF ORM A TION

Although Crossroads Bible College is one of the most reasonably priced colleges in the nation, income from a student's tuition does not fully cover the cost of instruction at Crossroads.

The maximum time frame for completion of our programs for a full-time student will be 194 credit hours and 96 credit hours for a part time student. All hours attempted at Crossroads will be used for the purpose of computing the maximum time frame. Students must earn the minimum GPA to maintain satisfactory progress. Failure to do so places the student on academic and financial aid probation for a semester. (Please see Academic Probation.) Students have the right to appeal determinations that they are not making satisfactory progress based on mitigating circumstances. A student may appeal through the Financial Aid Director to the Scholarship Committee any negative decision concerning financial aid eligibility. This appeal must be made in writing. The Scholarship Committee will determine and document each extension of eligibility on a case-by-case basis. The Committeesdecisionisfinalandwillbecommunicatedinwritingtothestudent. Students who may have questions concerning the above requirements should contact the Director of Financial Aid.

A C ADE MIC INF O RM A TION
Crossroads specializes in training for vocational Christian ministry and the College is intentional about providing each student with the best possible training in his or her chosen program. High academic standards are maintained in all classes.
A cademic Schedule
At Crossroads, academic credit operates on the semester hour system. A semester hour represents the equivalent of one class period of fifty (50) minutes per week for fifteen (15) weeks, plus the final examination. Most courses offered during Fall and Spring semesters are three credit courses which meet for two and a half hours per week. Normally, chapel meets periodically throughout the semester.
A cademic Resources
Crossroads is committed to providing students with the resources necessary to help them be successful in their academic studies. The library and faculty are two key resources provided by the College for student success.
The Kathryn Ulmer Library The value of classroom instruction is enhanced considerably by the library through directed reading and research in literature addressing subjects under study. The Library of Congress Classification System is utilized. The library specializes in works on African American history and the Black church, church planting and growth, and theology. The F aculty Each faculty member has both the academic credentials and ministry experience to provide excellent instruction and mentoring both inside and outside the classroom. A smaller faculty to student ratio allows each student to receive personalized attention.
A cademic Commitment
Students admitted to Crossroads Bible College elect to participate in an educational process designed to train them to reach a multiethnic urban world for Christ. In pursuit of this mission, Crossroads is committed to four areas of educational and personal development. First, intellectually, students learn critical thinking so they can acquire and assimilate knowledge only after careful testing with natural reason and the Word of God. Second, spiritually, students incorporate the ethical principles of the Word of God into their lives so that these principles become active, thus energizing moral behavior. Third, culturally, students are encouraged to recognize and respect diverse patterns of social behavior with a view toward ministry within and beyond their own cultural context. Fourth, professionally, students develop skills in the practical application of knowledge and methods acquired in the classroom, preparing them for ministry within and without the Christian community. As an educational institution, Crossroads recognizes that the training it provides is not complete apart from the practical and relational context provided by the local churches to which the students belong. This educational process functions intentionally in partnership with churches in the Indianapolis metropolitan area and around the world. 27
A cademic Success
Crossroads is committed to providing both an atmosphere and context for students to thrive academically. The following sections outline some key indicators for academic success.
Commitment to Scholastic E xcellence Students must understand that the primary responsibility for learning on the collegiate level rests not with the faculty and staff, but with the individual student. Maximum benefit requires commitment to scholastic excellence on the part of each student. Students on the collegiate level experience greater autonomy than in secondary schools. This autonomy demands increased responsibility from the students as well as careful application of effective study and time-management principles. Commitment to Academic Assistance Crossroads provides services to aid students needing additional academic assistance. Entering students scoring below seventy-five (75) percent on the ASSET examination are required to receive additional instruction designed to rectify deficiencies in English grammar and comprehension. Faculty members may refer students and students may refer themselves to the Office of Student Services to avail themselves of tutorial services offered through that Office.
Any student whose Fall or Spring semester grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0 will automatically be placed on academic probation by the Registrar of the College. Academic probation is not intended to be a penalty, but rather an opportunity for the College to provide additional help to students in need of assistance. Students on academic probation must meet with the Dean of your school to arrange for support services and register for courses. At the discretion of the Dean of your school, the student may be required to limit his or her course load, meet with designated faculty, staff, or support personnel and/or enroll in remedial programs or courses. The Dean of your school may also require mid-semester reports from the student's faculty instructors. Students will be removed from academic probation as soon as their GPA for the latest semester (Fall or Spring) rises above 2.0. Students who fail to raise their GPA above 2.0 after two consecutive semesters (Fall or Spring) on probation may be required, at the discretion of the Dean of your school, to sit out a semester or take courses only on an audit (non-credit) basis.
Commitment to Class Attendance Faithful class attendance is required as a matter of discipline and character; therefore, on-time class attendance is expected. Knowing that emergencies may occur, such as personal illness or a family funeral, a student is allowed up to one absence per semester. Each professor decides whether or not to accept assignments due on a date the student was absent. Any exception to this attendance policy is at the discretion of the professor. Excessive absences will be referred to the Office of Student Services. Commitment to Study Outside the Classroom The College recognizes that academic studies are only a part of the lives and responsibilities of its students. The time devoted to studies must be carefully balanced against the responsibilities of family, employment, and church. Each semester hour in a student's course load normally requires a minimum of two hours per week (in many cases more) of study outside the classroom. It is each studentsobligationatsemesterregistrationtomakespirituallymaturedecisionsregardingcourseload. Extracollegiate responsibilities will not excuse failure to complete academic requirements for any course. Commitment to Academic Integrity Academic honesty is essential to the educational process. Penalties for academic dishonesty are at the discretion of the faculty. These may range from reducing the grade on a student's examination or assignment to failing the student in a given course. Persistent academic dishonesty may result in the suspension or dismissal of a student by Dean of your school.
28
Commitment to Personal Integrity Each student will be graded on his or her own participation in the learning process. In order to fairly evaluate each student in light of the class as a whole, each student must complete his/her work on their own, unless otherwise assigned by the instructor to participate in a group project. While study groups to review for quizzes or exams are encouraged, any work turned in should represent the efforts of that student alone. This policy applies to married and engaged couples as well. Students may have work proofreadforgrammar/spelling,ortypedbyanotherstudent/individual,butmaynotturninanothersworkas their own, or represent a team effort as their own work.
Likewise, students completing papers and assignments are not to copy from any source including, but not limited to, the Internet, representing it as their own. Students should use authoritative sources but must rewrite the content in the students own words. Papers must annotate all sources, using properly formatted and standardized notes (footnotes or endnotes) for college level papers. A complete bibliography is required for all papers/projects, noting all consulted sources, in addition to a works cited page.
Commitment to Moral Integrity Any student found participating in the following activities will result in administrative withdrawal from Crossroads Bible College by the Office of Student Services or by the Presidentsappointee:abortion,assault/sexualassault(minimumtwosemestersout),commission/conviction of any felony, illegal drugs-association/possession and/or use/distribution (two semesters out), immorality, life threatening behavior or language to others or oneself (immediate removal from campus and two semesters out), possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages on campus, stealing or possession of stolen property (two semesters out), or unauthorized possession/use of weapons on campus.
If a student is administratively withdrawn from Crossroads, he/she must submit a written request for readmission to the Office of Student Services. The offenses are subject to expulsion periods of at least one semester, prior to consideration for re-admission.
AcademicPolicies
Academic policies are designed to provide a framework of expectations for both the Administration and student body at Crossroads. The policies provide clarity about the responsibilities of both parties.
Grade Reports and Transcripts Grade reports are normally mailed out two weeks after the close of each semester/term to the last address on record. Only a student's final grade is entered in the permanent record. Students may contest the grade received by using the academic appeals process. Grade reports may not be released to those students whose accounts are not current.
Every student whose account is current is entitled to one official transcript at no charge. Transcripts include some personal information, the student's Social Security number, all courses taken and grades received (except repeated courses), the degree program and major pursued, and degrees and honors awarded. Additional transcripts beyond the first are issued upon receipt of the seven dollar ($7.00) transcript fee and written authorization of the student. At the discretion of the Business Office, transcripts may not be released for students whose accounts are not current.
Catalog Jurisdiction Any student not registered for classes at the College for two consecutive semesters (Fall and Spring only; absences from Summer and Winterim terms are not considered) must re-apply for admission before registering again for classes. Returning students shall be under the jurisdiction of the catalog in effect at the time of readmission. A student entering under a previous catalog may graduate under a subsequent catalog subject to the approval of the advisor or Dean of your school.
29
Mental H ealth Policy Crossroads Bible College is aware that some students may come to us with pre-existing mental health conditions, either declared or undeclared. Due to the size of the student body at Crossroads, we are not equipped to deal with serious mental health conditions which require professional assistance. If a student seems to be out of touch with reality and not functioning normally, the student will be requested to bring medical proof from their physician stating his/her ability to continue their education at Crossroads. If the student refuses to adhere to the above procedure he/she is subjected to being administratively withdrawn by the Office of Student Sevices orbythePresidentsappointee. Academic Appeals. Students who disagree with a decision by a faculty member or administrator in the matter of grades or other academic matters (this does not include class absentee issues, student life issues or financial disputes) should address their concerns personally to the instructor/administrator who made the decision. If a mutually agreeable decision cannot be reached, students may appeal the instructor/administrator's decision to the Dean of their school. This is done by submitting a written appeal to the Dean of your school, who will either make a decision on the appeal or refer to the Faculty Senate. The Senate may, at its option, ask students to argue their case before the Senate or submit evidence and testimony supporting their appeal. The Senate may also, at its option, delegate the matter to one of its committees. All decisions of the Faculty Senate are final. Maximum Credit Hours Students May Take Students may take up to eighteen (18) credit hours per semester without acquiring special permission. No student is permitted to take more than twenty-one (21) credit hours in any semester without permission from their advisor and from the Dean of your school. Transfer of Credit Matriculated students who have completed work in another institution of higher education may be granted transfer credit. Work accepted for transfer credit must be comparable in quality, content, nature, andlevelof credittothatofferedat Crossroads BibleCollege,andmustbe applicableto oneof Crossroads programs of study. The minimum acceptable grade for transfer credit is C. Credits from schools not accredited by a member organization of the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation must be validated by other methods.
Each transfer student is required to arrange to have official transcripts of previous college training sent to the Office of the Registrar at Crossroads. Transfer students must complete at least thirty (30) credit hours at Crossroads and complete all graduation requirements in order to graduate. All work submitted to Crossroads for transfer of credit will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Students should be aware that credit approved for transfer may not apply if they change their program of study or major. Courses taken at secular or theologically liberal schools may not be acceptable equivalents to certain courses taken at Crossroads due to the College's biblical and theological worldview. Transfer credit for military training and experience will be done in accordance with the American Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Transfer students receiving veterans benefits will have their transfer of credit evaluation forwarded to the Veterans Administration as required. The grades of transfer credits are not taken into account when figuring GPA and academic honors.
Credit by E xamination Crossroads Bible College does accept the results of examinations administered by the Advanced Placement division of the College Board (minimum score of four) and the College Level Examination Program (minimum score equivalent of "C") as transfer credit for comparable courses offered at Crossroads. In these cases, Crossroads does not levy any fee. Students are responsible for any fees connected with taking the AP or CLEP examinations and forwarding those scores to the College.
In addition, students may receive credit for some courses listed in the catalog through examination, Advanced Placement Courses, or other methods of verifying knowledge and skill competency administered by Crossroads 30
faculty. Crossroads does levy a $45.00 fee for taking the examination for credit and for the tuition associated with such credit (if the score is satisfactory). A credit awarded by examination will appear on the students transcriptwiththegradeofTbutwillnotfigureinthestudentsGPA.Questionsaboutcreditbyexamination may be addressed to the Office of the Registrar.
Commencement Attendance All students are encouraged to attend graduation/commencement ceremonies. Honoring those who have completed their course of study is an encouragement for all graduates. Repeated Courses Students may retake courses they have previously taken. When registering for classes, students must indicate that the course is being repeated on their registration forms. A student who retakes a course will have all attempts recorded in his or her permanent record. However, the student will receive academic credit only once for the course. The highest grade will be retained in the student's permanent record, and only that grade will be used to calculate the student's cumulative grade point average. For all other attempts, the grade will be recorded as "R," indicating that no credit was received, no grade points earned, and no attempts used in the GPA calculation. Course Substitutions and Waivers In some situations, it may be expedient to substitute one course for another one required by a student's academic program, or waive such required course altogether. Such substitutions and waivers are exceptional. Students seeking permission for such substitutions and waivers should address their request to their faculty academic advisor. Substitutions or waivers of certain course requirements do not reduce the number of credit hours required for any degree or major. Incomplete Work In unusual circumstances (illness, family emergency, etc.) students may request additional time to complete the requirements for a course beyond the close of the semester. This additional time is requested through signing an incomplete contract and is granted at the discretion of that professor upon payment of the incomplete contract fee of $25.00. If an incomplete contract is granted, an interim grade of "I" (Incomplete) will be recorded in the student's permanent record pending resolution. The Dean must also approve incomplete contracts extending two months beyond the close of the semester. There is no obligation on the part of the professor to grant a student's request for an incomplete contract. If the incomplete work is not submitted to the professor by the end of the contract period, the grade will be changed to that stated in the contract. Students with two (2) or more incompletes will not be allowed to register for the next semester.
A cademic Standing
Crossroads is committed to helping students know and understand their academic standing. The following sections explain the variety of issues related to academic standing.
Advanced Placement Crossroads Bible College accepts the results of examinations administered by the Advanced Placement division of the College Board (minimum score of four) and the College Level Examination Program (minimum score equivalent of "C") as transfer credit satisfying the requirement for comparable courses offered at Crossroads. In addition, these courses may satisfy certain General Education proficiency requirements. Students may also satisfy some General Education proficiency requirements if their ACT or SAT scores are high enough. However, no transfer credit will be awarded for ACT or SAT scores.
In addition, students may receive advance standing in English Grammar and Composition based upon English Assessment scores taken during New Student Orientation. Scoring eighty (80) percent on the English portion of the English Assessment exam gives a student advanced standing for LA101 English Grammar and ninety (90) percent gives advanced standing for LA 104 English Composition 1. 31
Student Classification Full Time/Part Time: Students taking twelve or more credit hours during the regular semesters (Fall and Spring) are classified as "full time." Students taking less than twelve hours are classified "part time." Students who work twenty-five hours or more a week must have the permission from both their advisors and Dean to take a full course load of twelve credit hours. Degree/Non-degree: Students not pursuing one of Crossroads Bible Colleges degree programs (Certificate, A.A. B.S., B.A., and B.Min.) may be admitted as non-degree students. Students pursuing any of the College's degree programs must satisfy the additional admission requirements for degree students (see Admissions Information). Class Standing Regular students pursuing the B.S. and B.A. degree are classified on the basis of their academic credits. F reshman: 0-30 credit hours; Sophomore: 31-63 credit hours; Junior : 64-96 credit hours; Senior : 97132 credit hours. Academic Honors To encourage academic excellence at Crossroads, certain scholastic honors are recognized.
The President's List includes any student taking six (6) hours or more who attains a semester grade point average of 3.75 or better for that semester (Fall and Spring semesters only). The Dean's List includes any student taking six (6) hours or more who attains a semester grade point average of 3.25 or better for that semester (Fall and Spring semesters only).
Graduates with academic honors include those students who earn the following minimum grade point averages: 3.5 cum laude; 3.7 magna cum laude; 3.9 summa cum laude. (Incomplete work automatically disqualifies a student from academic honors.)
A cademic G rading System

Grades are one indicator of academic success at Crossroads. The following sections outline the point system and grading scale used at the College.
Point System Grade point average (GPA) is a numerical measure of academic achievement. For each course completed the student receives grade points according to the scale below. The student's final GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credits attempted. The College follows a 4.0 grade point system as follows:
A B C D 4 grade points per credit 3 grade points per credit 2 grade points per credit 1 grade point per credit F W R Audit 0 grade points per credit 0 grade points per credit 0 grade points per credit 0 grade points per credit
No record is posted of courses which a student drops before the end of the drop/add period (first four weeks for Fall and Spring semesters). The grade of "W" is granted for courses from which a student properly withdraws (see Withdrawal from Courses). The grade of "R" is posted to the student's academic record for each student 32
who repeats a course previously taken at Crossroads. The "R" replaces the lowest grade earned for the course. The grades of "W," "R," and "Audit" have no credit value, have no grade point value and do not count as attempts when figuring a student's GPA. The grade of "F" has no credit value, has no grade point value, but does count as an attempt when figuring a student's GPA. The grade of "I" is given to students who have incomplete work for a course and is an interim grade only. The grade of T is given to students who successfully complete the credit by examination process and representsatleastClevelofachievement.The grade of T has credit value but has no grade point value and does not figure as an attempt when figuring GPA. Tograduate,astudentmusthaveaminimumGPAof2.0(aC)whichisbasedonlyuponcoursestaken at Crossroads. Any Pass/Fail courses are not considered for the GPA.
Grading Scale The following grading scale is the normal guideline used at Crossroads Bible College:

A cademic Records
Crossroads keeps records on students enrolled, courses taken and completed, grades received, Christian Service participation and many other items. The Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) as amended gives students certain rights with regard to these records. Included are the rights to inspect and review those records, to request records be amended, and the right to confidentiality in most circumstances. A full description of the College's policy on the handling of student records is found in its Permanent Student Records Policy and Procedure document available from the Office of the Registrar. The College does not disclose student information beyond basic directory information (name, address, telephone number, date of birth, dates of attendance, program and major being pursued, degrees and awards received, and most recent previous school attended) without written permission from the student except in some specifically defined situations outlined in Crossroads policy and procedure document. Students who choose not to have directory information released must inform the Registrar in writing at the beginning of each semester enrolled. Questions about the complete Disclosure of Records policy and complaints about student records may be addressed to the Registrar, or to the Family Policy Compliance Office at (202) 732-1807 or at U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue S.W., Washington, DC 20202-4605.

Special Courses, Studies, and Internships

Specialized Topics Courses The specialized topics courses at Crossroads are designed to offer the exceptional student an opportunity to study in areas not covered by existing courses or to advance beyond the level attained in existing courses. Students desiring to enroll in specialized topics courses must be regular students pursuing a baccalaureate degree (B.S., B.A. or B.Min.), have a 3.0 cumulative GPA, and obtain permission of the department chair. Students interested in enrolling in specialized topics courses must demonstrate a need for the study and available materials sufficient to complete the study. Specialized topics studies are offered in Bible, Theology, Greek, Pastoral Ministry, Urban Leadership, Church Education, Biblical Counseling, Youth Ministry and Elementary Education. Students may take only one specialized topics course during their Crossroads career. Self-directed Studies Students nearing graduation who need or want a particular course not currently offered may arrange to take that course as a self-directed study. The course must be one listed in the current catalog and will be completed on a self-directed basis. Permission must be obtained from the department chair, the faculty instructor who will oversee the course, and the Office of Academic Affairs before registering. Once completed, the course will be entered in the student's permanent record under the regular catalog number and name for that course. Modified Independent Studies Some upper-division courses may be offered as modified independent studies and listed as that on the schedule of courses offered. Courses taught as modified independent studies include at least fifteen (15) hours (for 3-credit courses) of classroom instruction with additional self directed learning projects assigned to compensate for the reduced hours of classroom instruction. Once completed, the course will be entered in the student's permanent record under the regular catalog number and name for that course. Internship and Practicum Students pursuing a baccalaureate degree (B.S., B.A. or B.Min.) are required to gain practical expertise in a supervised setting by enrolling in the internship course in their chosen vocational ministry major. In addition, several majors list practicum studies under the courses required for the major. Students must be at least a junior in academic standing to enroll in an internship or practicum course. In an internship or practicum, the student serves in a ministry or is involved in an observation-based learning experience related to the student's vocational ministry major under the guidance of a church or Christian ministry leader approved by the College. The following opportunities are the usual expectations according to the student's chosen major: (1) Urban Leadership: non-profit organization, church, or short term mission apprenticeship; (2) Biblical Counseling: counseling assistant in a church or Christian ministry; (3) Pastoral Leadership: assistant to a pastor; (4) Pre-Seminary: apprenticeship in certain kinds of Christian ministry or parachurch organizations; (5) Christian Education: assistant in church education and/or youth program; (6) Youth Ministry: youth leader/assistant in church or Christian ministry; (7) Elementary Education: student teacher in a Christian school.
An internship or practicum provides the student with the field experience to implement principles learned in the classroom under the supervision of a mentor. This mentor, who is already an experienced leader in that vocational ministry, acts as the student's field supervisor and, in conjunction with the faculty instructor, provides an evaluation of the student's work. Itiseachstudentsresponsibilitytosetuptheinternshiporpracticumandtorecruitamentor,andmustoccur under the guidance and with the approval of the department chair. The choice of mentor is the most critical factor affecting the quality of the internship experience. The mentor should: (1) be a good model of ministry in the student's chosen field; (2) know the philosophy and goals of the internship program; (3) willingly cooperate with the College and assume leadership to help and to train the student intern; (4) be willing to grant the intern 40
many opportunities to participate in practical areas of ministry; (5) return assessment materials at required times; and (6) possess at least a baccalaureate degree in the vocational ministry covered by the internship. Time scales for the internship and practicum courses need not correspond with the College semester schedule. However, the general guideline for such courses requires 180 hours of in-the-field work and evaluation over a time period of no less than six weeks. Although students must obtain approval for the details of the internship or practicum from the chair of the ministry major prior to its onset, he or she should register for the course in the semester in which it will be completed.

INSTRUCTIONALMODULARCOURSES
To enable students to fit this program into their already busy lives, the College has scheduled modular courses one night a week from 6-10 p.m. for the duration of the program (about two years). Organized into groups of about 15, called a cohort, students progress through the program together. Each course is completed in five weeks of classes. At least a one week break is built into the schedule about every three months. The College presents the modular course student guides in notebooks. The student guide gives detailed assignments for each week. There is a Take-Home Final Exam in each course which is open book and completed at home. Full-time and adjunct faculty of Crossroads Bible College teach in the Accelerated Program. They are trained in how to relate to adult students and how to make each modular course an exciting and valuable learning experience. 96
CREDITBYDEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY(orCDC) Students who enter the Accelerated Program and lack all of the appropriate hours to graduate may qualify to earn additional semester hours through the Credit by Demonstrated Competency (CDC) process. A maximum of thirty semester credit hours may be earned by CDC. These credit hours can come from a number of different sources, including workshops, seminars, self-study, noncredit classes, work training programs and military training. The College evaluates and grants appropriate units for the studentslearning(notjusttheexperience)fromthesesources. It is recommended that prospective students make an appointment to meet with the Accelerated Program Director about potential CDC credit that can apply towards graduation. CREDITBYEXAM The College offers two other means by which students may earn credit in addition to the modular courses and Credit by Demonstrated Competency (CDC). These include: CLEP Tests (College Level Examination Program) - a national set of college level exams on general education course topics. DSST Tests (DANTES Subject Standardized Tests) - a national set of college level exams on courses in more than 50 different subject areas. More information can be obtained in the Accelerated office. CODEOFCONDUCT While believing in freedom of conscience concerning Christian conduct in those things not expressly commanded or forbidden in Scripture, Crossroads strongly senses the need of helping students to develop spiritual discernment in harmony with the principles of divine revelation. Therefore, each student is expected to utilize time to the best possible advantage by careful study, participation in spiritual activities, and the discerning use of media such as radio, television, the internet, and the printed page. Abstaining from questionable practices such as the use of alcohol as a beverage, tobacco, and illegal drugs, gambling and identification with secret societies is expected. Students should avoid every form of sexual immorality, lying, stealing, cheating on exams or assignments, failure to meet financial obligations promptly, and negligence in the performance of employment duties. They must remember that they represent both the College and the Lord. Students must realize they have a responsibility to the non-Christian community. This includes sharing our unique way of living and the message of eternal life in Christ. It also means abiding by the civil laws of our society and limiting our behavior where necessary in order not to bring offense to the cause of Christ. Christian conduct at all times should be beyond reproach. Christians also have a responsibility to the Christian community. This includes being honest in our relationship to fellow believers. If we have a problem with another Christian, it should be discussed with that Christian and not with others. Those committed to Christ must be willing both to forgive and to pray for those who offend us. Above all else, our lives should manifest the fruit of the Spirit in our interpersonal relationships, avoiding unnecessary offense to other believers.
97
