ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Christian Experience

A definite born-again experience is essential for admission to WEBC&S.  Preference is given to student applicants who have established a history of active participation in their local churches.  The applicant’s commitment must include a life of personal holiness, refraining from any sinful practices.

Students who have not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit will be encouraged to seek and receive the experience.  It is expected that all applicants should be sympathetic toward the doctrinal statement contained in this catalog.

Graduation from an accredited/approved high school is the basic educational requirement for admission.  A transcript of high school work is required.  Non-high school graduates who have satisfactory GED scores will be considered.

Special Students

Applicants who are 25 years of age or older and have not graduated from a secondary school or who do not hold a high school equivalency diploma may be considered for admission as “special students.”  An applicant may be admitted as a special student provided he gives evidence of ability to pursue the courses elected.  Applicants for the special student status will be considered for admission on an individual basis by the Admissions Committee.
