ADMISSIONS

NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY: The Florida School of Preaching admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, and/or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan program, or other school administered programs.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS: Who may enroll? Any student of good character and right purpose, who is willing and able to do the work prescribed by the administration and faculty. No lines are drawn as to race or color. In view of the intensive and accelerated program, it is necessary that men with a degree of maturity enroll. Students must be able to function in English.

PROCEDURE: Candidates are requested to submit an application sufficiently early that all references may be received and checked before registration day. It is best to be approved at least a month prior to entering school. Application forms are available upon request (write, call the school office, or download from our website: www.fsop.net).

There is no minimum requirement, but one’s stability–emotionally, socially and spiritually–must be established by information from those who are well–acquainted with the applicant.

Full-time students, taking a minimum of 25 clock hours, will not be allowed to work at secular employment. Some students attend classes at night, and they do engage in average workday employment, thus creating no problems in supplying their funds for attendance in school. The student will be responsible for his own support and transportation. Neither the local church nor the school can assume financial obligations of the student while in school.

Foreign students must have a letter of acceptance from the school and a student’s permit to satisfy U.S. Government requirements before entering the country and the school.

To enter and remain in school students accepted must honor a signed agreement included in the application to do all assigned work. The same entrance requirements apply to all courses alike.

Students cannot be accepted after the school has been in session two weeks. There are two enrollment dates, in August and January. A schedule calendar with specific dates is listed in this catalog. Any exception to this must be approved by the Director.

POLICY FOR VETERANS: The school is authorized to provide educational opportunities for veterans.

PREVIOUS CREDITS: Credit for previous education and training will be given to students transferring to this school after being evaluated. This includes veterans and other eligible persons. These students will be placed at the level to which they have attained.
