FORM E - BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS STATEMENT (Student)
Georgia Central University (GCU) is a Jesus Christ-centered institution of higher learning that is unwavering in its belief that the doctrinal statements are foundational to the educational and spiritual growth of each GCU trustee, faculty, student, and staff member.
  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal and visible return in power and glory.
  • We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he was tempted by Satan and fell, and that, because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for salvation.
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, and by Whom the church is empowered to carry out Christ’s great commission.
  • We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Note: Each Faculty, Staff, Board member, and Student at GCU shall subscribe over his/her signature to the foregoing Biblical Foundations Statement. GCU has determined that board members, faculty, staff and students only need to re-sign the Biblical Foundations Statement if there are any changes.

REFUND POLICY
Tuition may be refunded as provided below. To formally withdraw, a student must submit an Official Withdrawal Request Form to the Office of Admissions and a dated and signed Tuition Refund Request Form to the Office of Business Affairs as soon as possible after deciding to withdraw. A student will be issued a refund if the last date of attendance is on or before the date marking the midpoint of the semester or academic session.
A student may receive a refund for overpayment, withdrawal from classes, or dismissal from the University. There is no administrative fee for discontinuing as a student of the University. All refunds are issued within 30 days of the date of withdrawal; however, if overseas delivery is required, actual delivery may take several days beyond this 30-day period.
Refunds are determined based on prorating of tuition and the percentage of a registered program completed at the time of withdrawal, up through 50% of the program. For example, if a student completes 25% of the semester, as calculated on the official Academic Calendar

GCU Enrollment Agreement
published by GCU, he/she will receive a refund of 75% of t h e tuition paid. If a student withdraws after completing more than 50% of the registered program, no tuition refund will be issued.

Refunds will be issued for tuition and refundable fees ONLY*. Refunds will not be issued for the following:
  • Application fee
  • Late registration fee (per class)
  • Institutional scholarship funds
  • Graduation fees
  • Returned check or declined credit card fees.
  • Late payment fees
  • Penalty for non-payment or default payment fee

CANCELLATION POLICY
  • All tuition and fees paid, excluding nonrefundable fees, must be fully refunded should a cancellation request be made within 72 hours of signing the enrollment agreement.
  • The institution that cancels or changes a program of study or course (time or location) in such a way that a student who has started the program or course is unable to continue ensures the following:
    a. Makes arrangements, in a timely manner, to accommodate the needs of each student enrolled in the program; or
    b. Refunds all money paid by the student for the program of study or course if alternative arrangements determined by GNPEC to be equitable to both the institution and the student are not possible.
*NOTE: All monies will be refunded IF AND ONLY IF the student requests a refund within three (30) business days of signing th e application paperwork, OR if no paperwork is signed and, prior to classes beginning, the student requests a refund wit hin three (30) business days of making a payment.
A student who believes that a refund has not been calculated correctly may appeal to the Director of Business Affairs and, if need be, to the President.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Georgia Central University requires all students to attend all their registered classes, including chapel (Institutional Requirement). Any students missing more than 3 class sessions will be permanently dismissed from the class for that particular semester with a grade of “F.” This attendance policy is non-negotiable and is a requirement of the United Immigration Services for international students; university officials are required to terminate any such student’s J-1 visa status in any case of failure to attend classes. Three late attendances to any class will be regarded as one absence.

In case of an emergency, a student may submit an official Absence Excusal Form to the faculty member in charge of each of the courses in which the student is enrolled. This form is available at the Office of Academic Affairs and on the GCU w ebsite. This form must be completed and signed by the applicant; the decision to grant a recognized absence then relies on the faculty’s judgment and o n submitted documentation. If the student has official permission from the Office of Student Affairs to be absent due to an emergency situation (including injury, hardship or sickness), the student may miss the class on the stated dates, and such absences will not coun t towards his/her attendance.

CAREER SERVICE
Georgia Central University cannot guarantee employment.
