THE CODE OF HONOR PLEDGE

In signing the Code of Honor, I fully recognize that these two institutions were found to be and are committed to being Christian religious ministries and that they offer a lifestyle of commitment to Jesus Christ of Nazareth as personal Savior and Lord as an integral part of their evangelistic outreach. It is therefore my personal commitment to be a person of integrity in my attitude and respect for what these schools are in their calling to be Christian institutions.

I PLEDGE to apply myself wholeheartedly to my intellectual pursuits and to use the full powers of my mind for the glory of God.

I PLEDGE to grow in my spirit, developing my own relationship with God.

I PLEDGE to cultivate good relationships socially with others and to seek to love others as I love myself. I will not lie, I will not steal, I will not curse, I will not be a talebearer.

I PLEDGE to keep my total being under subjection from all immoral and illegal acts and habits, whether on or off campus. To this end, I will not take any illegal drug. I will not commit illicit sexual acts, including homosexual behavior. I will not drink alcoholic beverages of any kind. I will not use tobacco. I will not engage in other behavior that is contrary to the rules and regulations listed in the student handbook.

I PLEDGE to maintain an integrity to "openness" to God's claim on my life, and to do my utmost to know and follow His will for my life.

I PLEDGE to attend class the house of worship of my choice wherever God is honored and lifted up.

I PLEDGE to abide by the rules and regulations that may from time to time be adopted by the Administration. I understand that these institutions are private schools, and I have no vested rights in the governance of them. I accept my attendance as a PRIVILEGE and NOT a right and that these institutions reserve the right to require the withdrawal of a student at any time if in the judgment of the President of either institution or of the Discipline Committee such action is deemed necessary to safeguard the schools' ideals of scholarship or the spiritual and moral atmosphere of them as Christian institutions. I will keep the HONOR CODE carefully and prayerfully. I understand that my signature below is my acceptance of the entire Code of Honor and completes a contract between the school and me which is a prerequisite for matriculating and become a part of my permanent file.
