Academic Honesty Policy As part of our mission to equip Christian leaders, we expect godly integrity in the academic work done at Thirdmill Seminary. At the heart of this integrity is a commitment from a student to accurately represent themself and their work to others. First, we expect members of our learning community to follow the rules under which quizzes, exams, papers, and projects are to be completed and submitted for academic credit. This includes a commitment to do your own work. Second, we expect students to give credit to others for their ideas by documenting them appropriately in written and oral presentations. Both cheating and plagiarism are violations of the ninth commandment, which forbids bearing false witness. According to Miriam-Webster’s dictionary, plagiarism is, “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own: use (another's production) without crediting the source [… or] to commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.” The first violation of this academic honesty standard may result in failure of the assignment or test in question and could, depending on the assignment, result in failure of the class. A second violation of this standard may result in a review by the Curriculum committee of the faculty and possible dismissal from the institution. The student has the right to appeal a decision via a letter submitted to the Academic Dean of their program. In addition, students are expected to submit original work for each assignment. Therefore, duplicate submission, or using the same assignment from one course to fulfill the objectives of another assignment in another course, is not acceptable.

complaint or grievance Complaint Procedure Student Complaint Policy Students, staff and faculty have the right to express any concerns, complaints, or grievances they might have with any aspect of their educational experience. Students are encouraged to review the complaint policy and first seek to resolve their complaints through informal discussion. Adhere to the following steps when addressing these concerns: If anyone in the Seminary community has a misunderstanding or dispute with another person in our learning community, they first must address their concern directly with that person as misunderstandings can often be cleared up best at their source. Faculty members encourage students to ask them any questions about a course syllabus, grade, assignments in the course or any communications which remain unclear. Likewise, staff or faculty address their concerns to their direct supervisor for clarification. If a matter remains unresolved, community members may address academic matters to the Dean of their program and administrative matters to the Director of Administration. STUDENT COMPLAINT PROCEDURE An item is only considered as a formal complaint if a community member indicates in their communication to our President, Academic Deans or Director of Administration that they believe Thirdmill Seminary is not following its own policies, the standards of its accreditors, US state or federal laws. The Academic Dean or Director of Administration will confirm receipt of a complaint and copy the President of the Seminary within two business days. The complaint will be brought to the next scheduled meeting of the appropriate faculty committee (Curriculum Committee or Student Services). Once the Committee of the faculty meets and acts, the community member will be informed of their decision by the person who received their formal complaint within two business days of the committee’s action. If the matter remains unresolved, the community member may appeal in writing to the President of the Seminary by email to gperry@thirdmillseminary.org . The President will confirm receipt of the appeal within two business days and inform the community member that their appeal will be considered at the next meeting of the Executive Committee of the faculty. Once a final decision is reached, the President will inform the community member within two business days. If a student or other community member remains unsatisfied with the response of Seminary to the matter, they may file an appeal. As a distance education student that has completed the Thirdmill Seminary's internal complaint process, the next step for an individual to express their concern about a non-instructional matter is to write a letter or send an e-mail with their name, address, phone number and subject matter to the state department or council on higher education where they reside. Thirdmill Seminary is a nonpublic postsecondary institution located in Florida. If a student is unsatisfied after following the applicable state grievance procedure in the state where they reside, they may appeal the state authorization-related complaint to the Florida SARA PRDEC Council at FLSARAinfo@fldoe.org pursuant to rule 6N-1.006, F.A.C..

- Statement of Faith | ThirdmillSeminary
online seminary providing high value theological education https://www.thirdmillseminary.org seminario educación teológico https://es.thirdmillseminary.org FAITH We believe that Scripture consists of the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament as originally inspired and given by the Holy Spirit. We believe that Scripture is infallible, inerrant, and to be received, read, believed and obeyed as the written Word of God. We believe Scripture reveals only one living and true God, who exists in the three persons of the Godhead: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. We believe in the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, his sinless life, his miracles, his substitutionary and atoning death, his bodily resurrection, his ascension to the right hand of God the Father, his present rule over and intercession for the Church, and his visible return in power and glory. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose work of regeneration is essential for salvation. By the Spirit's sanctifying power, which indwells all believers in Christ, we are enabled to live godly lives of worship and service. We believe in the bodily resurrection of every person for the final day of judgment before the Lord Jesus Christ — the lost unto eternal punishment and the saved unto eternal life.
