A Message
From The
President
Crandall University is developing a reputation as a university that is raising
their profile considerably every year by increasing their student enrolment. One
of my friends within the field of education shared with me that Crandall
University is the “hidden gem” within New Brunswick which is finally being
recognized for the excellent programs it offers and the graduates it is producing
each year. Crandall is steeped in many years of rich history and tradition and
even though there has been many changes over the past years it remains a
private, faith based-based university which has at its stated mission of
transforming lives through “quality university education firmly rooted in the
Christian faith,” therefore developing well rounded students – intellectually,
spiritually and socially.
Crandall’s professors are highly qualified Christian scholars who not only model
academic integrity, but also develop relationships with students as their mentors
and friends. These sorts of relationships have a long term impact upon students
which is what you will remember in the years ahead.
Crandall not only strives to provide a high quality education which prepares
graduates for successful careers, it also enables students to discover and develop
within themselves the gifts and talents God has provided each one of them. We
trust that as a student at Crandall you will feel both challenged and cared for as
you share in a community where everyone has the freedom to grow in
knowledge, wisdom and grace.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Crandall University General Information 11
GENERAL INFORMATION
History
In the late 1940s, the United Baptist Convention became concerned about the
young people who were leaving Atlantic Canada for a Bible college education. In
spite of the fact that the denomination had a University in Wolfville, NS, there
was an area of Christian education which was not being covered. In 1949, the
United Baptist Bible Training School was founded in Moncton as both a Bible
college and a high school. For the next two decades, young people came from all
over Atlantic Canada to study in a Christian context and to live in a Christian
community.
Academic excellence very quickly became a hallmark of the new school, and
many people gave sacrificially to expand the facilities and the programs. Dr.
Myron Brinton left a successful pastorate to guide the fledgling institution for
most of its first decade. His sense of family and Christian commitment set the
stage for much of its tradition.
By 1968, the School was in transition as the emphasis changed to a post high
school program. It became a Bible College and a Christian Junior Liberal Arts
College. In 1970, the name was changed to Atlantic Baptist College to reflect the
new programs. Throughout this period, the President, Dr. Stuart E. Murray, sought
to build a strong faculty and to provide a broadened selection of courses.
In 1983, the New Brunswick Legislature passed a charter granting Atlantic
Baptist College, the right to offer baccalaureate degrees. Over a decade later, in
1996, the original Act of the Legislature was amended to change the name to
Atlantic Baptist University. This was done to reflect the continued growth and
development of the University as evidenced by the granting of degrees in a variety
of disciplines, including Arts, Science, Business, and Education.
In 2008, and in 2010, slight amendments to the Act were made, first to extend
the provision of degrees beyond the baccalaureate level, and second to change the
name to Crandall University in honour of Joseph Crandall, who founded several
Baptist churches in the greater Moncton area during the late 1800s. This new
name was also presented as a way to more clearly offer an invititation to Christian
students and supporters who were not from a Baptist tradition.
12 General Information Crandall University
Mission Statement
The mission of Crandall University’s administration, faculty & staff is to
transform lives through:
Quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith.
This mission is accomplished through the following:
1. Teaching in the liberal arts, sciences, and professional studies that
involves these characteristics:
a) A student-centered approach that focuses on learning rather than
delivery of information only;
b) A commitment to holistic growth of the person: spiritual,
intellectual, personal/social, and physical well-being;
c) The teamwork of outstanding and dedicated staff, faculty,
administrators, and Board members;
d) The development of a unified and caring community wherein
participants are sensitive to the needs of each other, encourage
each other in character formation, leadership skills, and the
integration of faith and learning whereby they are prepared for
future positions of influence and leadership in the service of God’s
Kingdom;
e) An openness to persons of every race, colour, gender, and creed
who choose to become part of the community of Crandall
University.
2. Research by faculty that includes but is not limited to the following:
a) Expanding knowledge within the scholar’s discipline;
b) Maintaining a standard of excellence that affirms the University’s
commitment to academic integrity;
c) Advancing the integration of faith and learning through
scholarship and publications that evaluate theories/conclusions in
light of a Christian worldview.
This mission is the driving force behind everything at Crandall. Recognizing the
lordship of Jesus Christ over all creation, the university operates with an overarching
commitment to students, to the church, and to community. As a private university,
Crandall is committed to the wise use of the human, financial, and physical resources
that God entrusts through the churches of the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches
Crandall University General Information 13
plus a variety of corporate, church, and individual partners supportive of higher
education within a Christian context.
Philosophy of Education
The purpose of a liberal arts education is to expose students to the range of human
experience, to introduce them thoroughly to a given major, and to teach each one to think
and write creatively, clearly, and critically. For this to happen there must be a point of
view, a defined position from which to view and compare life. The worldview at
Crandall University is Christian. While there is considerable diversity of opinion among
both the faculty and student body regarding various theological emphases, all are united
in the conviction that life, to be seen clearly and holistically, must be viewed in the light
of God's saving action in an individual’s life through the death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ. This foundation provides a significant alternative to university education based
upon secular and materialistic faiths.
This is not to suggest that students will be allowed to coast through their educational
experience by offering platitudes about faith. The philosophy of education at Crandall
University is that the only adequate response to Christ is a life of sacrificial commitment
to His service and praise whereby individuals strive for excellence. This must include
diligence in academic work. Students are challenged to realize their potential
academically to be good stewards of the intellect God has given them. Whether in
wrestling with concepts in Anthropology, writing a term paper for English Literature,
learning the principles of strategic planning, or studying for a Science exam, students are
encouraged to give their best as praise to God.
Students are also challenged to integrate their learning into a holistic understanding
of life as part of preparation for service to the world for which Christ died. Knowledge
cannot exist in isolation from experience. In this process of integration, the faculty play a
crucial role in the lives of students as they seek to point the way insofar as they have
understood it. The faculty challenge students to understand and accept responsibility for
their own worldviews, professing the lordship of Christ over all knowledge and activity.
Educational philosophy finds its expression in curriculum. In this regard, Crandall
University has instituted a core of required courses which are crucial to the task of
coming to terms with one's worldview. As well, students must select courses from a
number of areas with the aim of exposing them to a variety of disciplines and the insights
therein. Finally, all first degree (excluding degree completion) students at Crandall
University must take a minor in Religious Studies. This knowledge of the biblical
witness to God's activity in the world is crucial to shaping a Christian worldview as well
as preparing for a life that honours God. To help emphasize the importance of this focus
from the outset of their studies, all first degree students at Crandall University are
14 General Information Crandall University
required to register in at least one required Religious Studies course in their first semester
for at least the first two weeks of the semester.
This combination of a demanding academic program and the challenge to act
justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God has resulted in many
graduates of Crandall investing their lives in a wide range of activities for the
good of society and the glory of God.
Christian Lifestyle
Students at Crandall University join a community where a desire to know and
be known by God translates into a life of spiritual devotion and service.
Expressions of such include chapel attendance, participation in a local church,
volunteer involvement with a church or community service program, acceptance
of responsibility for personal behavior, and the search to develop relationships of
integrity. The goal is to bring honour to Jesus Christ in everything.
Guidance in the definition of this inviting community and in behaviour
consistent with the Christian mission and values of the University is provided by
the department of Student Development. Opportunities for growth in
understanding the Christian life as well as in areas of personal development are
available through the services of this department. For example, students may join
a Bible study, a prayer group, or a missions interest group. In these and other
ways the campus community becomes known as one that fosters developomental
experiences while expressing the love of Christ in everything.
Students need not be Christian to attend Crandall University, but they must be
willing to accept the obligations which are part of being a member of this
community. These obligations are academic, social, and personal. Whether on
campus or off, all students are expected to conduct themselves as is becoming to
Christian adults and the University of which they have chosen to be a part.
Faculty
Crandall University full-time faculty are well equipped to teach in their chosen
fields. The addition of qualified adjunct and part-time faculty contributes to a
community in which diversity of background is balanced by a common purpose.
All faculty members are involved in their local churches and in various civic
organizations. This belies the ivory tower image of university professors. They are
also active in their professional fields where they demonstrate a continuing
concern for growth in their given disciplines through memberships and service.
Crandall University General Information 15
Faculty affirm the mission of the University by intentionally integrating their
Christian worldview in the teaching of their various disciplines.
In addition, whether for academic advisement or a sympathetic ear for a personal
problem, faculty seek to make themselves available to students on an individual
basis. Either inside or outside the classroom, faculty seek to affirm the worth of
students as created and loved by God.
George A. Rawlyk Library
The library is in many respects the intellectual and academic centre of every
university campus. The George A. Rawlyk Library of Crandall University, named
in honour of the late Dr. George A. Rawlyk, History Professor of Queen’s
University, is no exception. Dr. Rawlyk was a friend and contributor to Crandall
University, donating much of his personal library. Students are encouraged to
familiarize themselves with the available services and resources as part of their
academic experience at Crandall University.
Governance
Crandall University was founded by the Convention of Atlantic Baptist
Churches, which continues to support the University and ratifies appointments to
its Board of Governors. The University is responsible to provide to its
constituency quality education for Christian leaders of tomorrow.
Crandall University, as a corporation, is controlled by a Board of Governors
elected annually from among the supporters of the University. The Senate of
Crandall University determines all academic standards and is comprised of the
President of Crandall University, the Vice President for Academic Affairs,
members of faculty, the Librarian, plus representatives of the student body, the
alumni, the Board of Governors, the Convention and the Registrar (Secretary of
Senate).
Accreditation
In Canada there is no formal organization that accredits universities and
colleges, but the concept of accreditation is practiced. It is based on the
acceptance of postsecondary studies by Canadian Universities and Colleges,
where the work completed meets criteria of faculty competence, standards of
instruction, and standards of student achievement practiced by the major
universities in Canada. Based on these standards, Crandall University graduates
consistently achieve a high level.
16 General Information Crandall University
Crandall University is an affiliate member of The Council of Christian
Colleges and Universities, an association of approximately 175 Christ-centered
colleges and universities of the liberal arts and sciences with member schools in
26 countries around the world. The Council is committed to cultivating
communities of educational excellence in which the lordship of Jesus Christ is
central. Member colleges are committed to maintaining the highest academic
standards in an environment which fosters spiritual growth. Over thirty
denominations are represented in the Council, enriching the common fellowship
with diversity. Working together, Council member colleges and universities
accomplish things they could not do alone. (See the “Programs of Study” section
which outlines the academic opportunities available to students at Crandall
through CCCU.)
Crandall University maintains its official recognition as a degree-granting
institution based on its formal arrangments with the Province of New Brunswick
through an Act of the New Brunswick Legislature. In addition, there is a strong
on-going collegial relationship with all its sibling universitities within the Atlantic
Provinces and an expanding and ever improving connection with other academic
institutions and professional associations throughout Canada and the United
States.
Crandall University has become known for its academic excellence and the
integrity of its graduates. With the increasing number of degree programs and the
abilities of its faculty members, the reputation of the University continues to grow.
Educational Outcomes
Crandall University strives towards these educational outcomes:
prepare students to contribute to the Church's mission, whether
through individual or corporate action in their various professions, in
further study or research, in family or community life, or in whatever
field of endeavour God may call them to;
assist students to develop, to their fullest potential, the capacities of
analysis, synthesis, problem-solving, research, and communication;
ensure that students understand the basic forms of human knowledge
and the variety of possible approaches to acquiring and using that
knowledge;
prepare students for graduate study, advanced undergraduate study,
lifelong learning, and leadership;
Crandall University General Information 17
ensure that students have developed a spiritual maturity
encompassing all areas of life and that they are able to contribute to
the building up of the church.
Statement of Faith
1. God: There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. In the Godhead these three persons are equal and united in
essence and perfection. They execute distinct but harmonious offices in the
great work of redemption.
a) God is Father to all people in the general sense of Creator and Sustainer
of the universe. He has fatherly compassion for all humanity. God is Father,
in a personal sense, to all who profess faith in His only begotten and unique
Son, Jesus Christ.
b) Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh; we affirm His virgin birth,
sinless humanity, divine miracles, vicarious death once for all time, bodily
resurrection and ascension, mediatorial work before the Father, and the
blessed hope of His personal return in power and glory.
c) The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead who proceeds from
the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit convicts humanity of sin,
righteousness, and God’s judgement; calls people to repentance and faith in
Jesus Christ, indwells and enables the believer to live a holy life; and
empowers the believer to witness and to work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. The Scriptures: The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments have
their authority from God alone and are given to us by divine inspiration.
They are the only perfect, supreme, infallible, and sufficient standard for all
matters of faith and conduct. They have been carefully preserved by the
providence of God through the work of faithful believers.
3. Humanity: Humanity was created sinless. By the disobedience of the first
man and woman, sin entered the human race. Through this disobedience all
humanity is born sinful, under the curse of condemnation and death, in need
of repentance and forgiveness.
4. Salvation: The salvation of lost and sinful humanity is possible only through
the merits of Jesus Christ and His substitutionary death on our behalf.
Salvation must be received through repentance and faith, and it is apart from
works. It is characterized by regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
18 General Information Crandall University
5. The Church: The Church consists of all true believers in the Lord Jesus
Christ. The Bible also identifies the local Church as an assembly of baptized
believers organized for worship, discipleship, outreach, and service to others
for God.
6. Resurrection and Judgement: There will be a general resurrection of the
bodies of the just and the unjust. God will judge all humanity. Those who
are saved will live eternally in God’s presence. Those who are lost in sin will
receive eternal condemnation.

Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management (Degree
Completion) Admission Requirements
This Degree Completion program is offered through the Adult Learners
Professional Studies (ALPS) division of the university. Pre-requisites for
admission include the completion of 30 to 60 credit hours from one or more
recognized post-secondary institutions. However, students who transfer in fewer
than 30 credit hours may be conditionally admitted until successful completion of
their first three courses. When fewer than 60 credit hours are transferred into
Crandall, the additional credits will – at some time prior to graduation – still need
to be made up to the total of 120 credit hours necessary for a Bachelor of Arts in
Organizational Management. In addition to the transfer of previous credit hours,
program admission further requires that applicants be age 21 or older and that they
be employed full-time.
Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management (Degree
Completion) Application Procedure
An applicant who has become familiar with the program and has decided to
apply should take the following steps:
1. Complete and submit the Degree Completion Program Application for
Admission including the non-refundable $35 application fee.
2. Contact your previous post-secondary educational institutions (i.e.
college and/or university) to request your official transcript(s) be forwarded
directly to the attention of the Director or Program Administrator of the Adult
Learners Professional Studies Division.
3. Provide a detailed resume of previous, and current, post-secondary
education and employment experience.
4. Schedule a meeting with the Director or Program Administrator to
outline a tentative degree plan.
a. After official transcripts have been received, the Assistant
Registrar for Professional Studies will determine the number of credit hours that
are transferable, and what others need to be earned in order to complete the
degree. This will be documented on an audit sheet.
b. The Program Administrator will then respond in writing to
the applicant with the audit sheet attached. If the applicant is successful, an offer
of Enrolment letter will also be attached.
Students should forward all application materials to the address below:

When a student is accepted into the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational
Management (Degree Completion) program at Crandall University, a $250.00
non-refundable registration deposit is required to reserve a seat in the cohort for
which the application was made, usually the next cohort according to the set
schedule. Seats are secured on a first come first served basis.
Transfer Students
Students who want to transfer to Crandall University from another institution
must follow the application procedure stated previously. Both high school and
post-secondary transcripts are required when a transfer applicant has completed
post-secondary studies other than at the university level or with less than one year
of university studies. For all other applicants with university experience, only the
university transcript will be required. However, high school transcripts may be
required for certain programs. Failure to provide the required transcripts prior to
the end of the first semester may result in dismissal.
Once accepted, the student’s file will be evaluated by the Registrar’s Office
for possible transfer credit. Post-secondary courses taken elsewhere are eligible
for transfer credit provided the course complies with the standards established by
Crandall University for its own courses and the grade obtained by the student is a
pass in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding Between Atlantic
Canadian Colleges For the Encouragement of Transfer Agreements.
The University's Academic Standards and Appeals Committee serves as the
advisory board for situations warranting special consideration. Sometimes final
assessment is reserved until the transfer student has completed at least one
semester of full-time study at Crandall University.
The maximum number of hours accepted for transfer credit from other
institutions is 60 credit hours towards a degree of 120 credit hours. Within this 60
credit hour maximum, no more than 50% of a major is eligible for transfer
towards a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, and no more than 50%
of required Business courses are eligible for transfer towards a Bachelor of
Business Administration degree.
Crandall University Admissions 25
The maximum number of hours accepted for transfer from another institution
is 15 credit hours towards a Bachelor of Education degree and 9 credit hours
towards the Advanced Certificates in Education.
Transfer credits are recorded on the transcript with credit value only. No
grade is recorded, and transfer credits are excluded from a student’s GPA.
Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Programs
Crandall University grants university credit to students who have
demonstrated exceptional ability within either the Advanced Placement program
or the International Baccalaureate program. Students involved in either of these
programs, who have received scores of four or five on the Advanced Placement
Examinations, or scores of five, six, or seven on the International Baccalaureate
Examinations, may request an assessment for university credit up to a maximum
of 30 credit hours. For further information, contact the Registrar’s Office.
Part-time Students
Students who wish to complete an Arts, Business, or Science degree as a part-
time student must meet the admission requirements as well as follow the
application procedure previously stated.
Students who wish to study courses part-time but are not seeking to complete a
specific program may apply as Continuing Education students. Continuing
Education students must follow the application procedure previously stated.
However, standard admission requirements do not apply. Some courses may
require high school prerequisites. Please refer to the “Programs and Course
Descriptions” section of the Academic Calendar for more information.
Visiting Students
Upon receipt of a letter of permission from their institutions, visiting students
may be eligible to register for classes. Confirmation of prerequisite courses or
other academic documentation may be required. Please contact the Registrar’s
Office for further information.
26 Admissions Crandall University
Conditional Acceptance
Applicants who do not meet the standard admission requirements may be considered
for conditional acceptance. Upon admission, these students will be given conditional
acceptance status and expected to perform at the required academic level.
Students With Physical or Learning Disabilities.
Crandall University seeks to offer all students equal access to the educational
process. Therefore, students who have a diagnosed, preexisting physical or
educational disability must inform the Registrar’s Office if they require
accommodation for attendance, testing, participation in classroom, or laboratory
activities. Professional documentation that is current and that establishes the
nature of the disability and the recommendations for accommodations is required.
The university will accommodate the student to the extent that such
accommodations do not disadvantage or compromise the safety of other students
in the course and to the extent that all the learning objectives of the course can still
be achieved.
Students with disabilities are requested to contact the Registrar’s Office as
soon as they are accepted to the university in order to begin the accommodation
process. The complete details on University policy are available on the website or
from the Registrar’s Office.
International Students
Immigration Requirements For Students from the United States of America:
American citizens are able to apply for a Student Authorization (visa) at the
Canadian Immigration Office at the Canadian point-of-entry. Students must have
their original letter of acceptance from Crandall University (obtained once full
tuition is received for first year of study), as well as proof of sufficient funds for
all tuition and accommodations (bank statement, money order, etc.) All students
will also need formal proof of their American citizenship (passport or birth
certificate, and driver’s license with photo ID).
Immigration Requirements For Students From Other Countries:
Students who wish to study in Canada must attend to a number of important
matters before leaving their countries of origin. Since these preparations often take
Crandall University Admissions 27
a considerable period of time, students should begin the process well in advance
of their planned Enrolment date.
International students should contact the Canadian Embassy Consulate or High
Commission in their own countries to apply for a student visa, which is necessary
to enter Canada as a student. Immigration officials require presentation of both a
student visa and student authorization form. These documents are obtainable by
proof of official acceptance to Crandall University and evidence of sufficient
funds to live and study in Canada, including return transportation.
International students should also be aware that they are expected to comply
with the standard Canadian Health Code regulations as they pertain to
inoculations, etc. If the necessary inoculations have not been received prior to
arrival in Canada, they must be acquired within the first week of the students’
University residency. Any cost incurred in this area will be charged to the
students’ accounts. Medical insurance, to be purchased separately by the student,
is also necessary to cover potential illness or accidents. This Medical Insurance
must be purchased prior to arrival or during registration. All costs incurred are the
responsibility of international students and acceptance and registration are
contingent upon the purchase of approved insurance. Costs and information on
acceptable insurance plans are available through the Admissions Office.
Note: Typically, applicants with permanent resident status in Canada can follow
the General Admissions application process. However, applicants may be
required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language.
Language and Academic Requirements:
1. English language proficiency - All applicants must be proficient in both oral
and written English. Therefore, applicants whose first language is not English
must complete one of the five following tests: The Canadian Academic
English Language Assessment (CAEL) with a minimum score of 60; the
Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) with a minimum
score of 80; the Canadian Test of English for Scholars and Trainees (CAN
Test) with a minimum score of 4.5; International English Language Testing
System (IELTS) with a minimum score of 6.5; or the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL), achieving a score of at least 550 on the paper-
based test, 213 on the computer-based test, or 79 on the internet-based test. For

language proficiency test requirement may be waived.
EAP option - Students who do not meet the requisite English language
proficiency but have a TOEFL score of 480 and meet all other admissions
criteria may be offered conditional admission to Crandall upon successful
completion of the EAP (English for Academic Purposes) program.
2. Certificate of Education - International applicants must achieve a recognized
state/government certificate of education. If such government certificates are
not available, applicants should contact the Admissions Office for alternative
means of admission qualifications. As with all applications, official transcripts
are required.
3. Advance Deposit - An Advance Deposit, equivalent to tuition, room, and
board for one year (excluding texbooks) and any other pertinent fees for the
year in which the student is applying (approximately $15,000.00 Canadian), is
due upon the applicant’s receipt of a conditional letter of acceptance from the
Admissions Office. Payment is necessary to maintain student immigration
status. Renewal of the students’ visas will require this same procedure with
fees due prior to the start of subsequent academic years. An official letter of
acceptance to Crandall University, which is necessary for immigration
purposes, will follow the Admissions Office’s receipt of the Advance Deposit.
If the student does not enroll at Crandall University, the deposit will be
refunded once written notification has been received.

Satisfactory Academic Progress
All students applying for or receiving US Federal Aid (subsidized/unsubsidized
Direct Loans and Parent Plus Loans) at Crandall University must make
satisfactory academic progress towards completion of their chosen academic
programs.
Crandall is required by US Federal Law to define and enforce standards of
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). These guidelines have been established to
encourage students to successfully complete their academic programs for which
aid is received.
Students are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress when
they:
complete 75% of attempted credit hours each semester
42 Financial Information Crandall University
meet minimum grade point average requirements each semester
complete their programs of study within the maximum allowable
time frame
Minimum Requirements for Degree Students
Semester % of attempted credit hours
sucessfully completed
Semester
GPA
First to Third Semesters 75% 1.33
Fourth and subsequent
semesters 75% 2.0
Maximum Allowable Time Frame for Full-Time Students
Students are entitled to receive aid for 150% of the length of their academic
program, e.g. a 4 year degree = 6 years of eligibility.
Evaluation and Notification
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) will be assessed for all students by the
Vice President for Administration and Finance at the end of each academic
semester to determine their eligibility for continued Financial Aid. Students will,
be notified in writing or by email within ten business days of the semester grades
release if they are placed on Financial Aid probation or if their Financial Aid
eligibility has been suspended.
Financial Aid Probation and Suspension
Students who fail to achieve the required minimum standards of academic
progress will be placed on Financial Aid Probation for one semester. If, during
that semester, students meet the required minimum standards of academic
progress and meet with the Vice President for Administration and Finance, they
will be removed from probation and be eligible for US Federal Aid.
Students on probation who do not meet the required minimum standards
during that semester will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. They will be
ineligible for any further US Federal Aid until such time as they achieve the
required minimum standards of academic progress. When suspended students
achieve the required minimum standards, they must notify the Financial Aid
Director, and they will be eligible again for US Federal Aid.
Crandall University Financial Information 43
Students who have exceeded their Timeframe Eligibility will be ineligible for
any further US Federal Aid.
Financial Aid Appeals
In certain circumstances, students whose US Federal Aid eligibility has been
suspended may appeal the suspension if at least one of the following criteria is
met:
Death of an immediate family member (parent, caregiver, spouse, sibling,
dependant child, etc.).
Extended illness of the student. (Documented chronic or recurring
medical or emotional illness that causes the student to be absent from
class at least 15 days or more.)
Family difficulties, such as divorce or illness.
Mitigating circumstances as determined by the Vice President for
Administration and Finance.
Appeal Process:
1. The student will submit a written appeal letter to the Vice President for
Administration and Finance within five business days of the receipt of
the notification of suspension. This letter must outline the reasons for the
failure to meet SAP requirements and include all documentation
supporting the appeal.
2. The appeal will be reviewed by the Vice President for Administration
and Finance and the Registrar, who together will decide to uphold or
reverse the suspension.
3. A written response to the appeal will be provided to the student within
ten business days.
Title IV Refund Policy
If a student withdraws or is expelled during the semester (payment period), US
law specifies that Crandall University must recalculate the student’s Title IV
(Direct Loan) funding to determine what amount he/she has “earned”.
Calculation of Title IV Funding Earned
To earn 100% of Title IV funding, a student must complete 60% or more of
the semester. If a student has not completed 60% of the semester, the amount
earned will be determined by the number of calendar days completed divided by
44 Financial Information Crandall University
the number of days in the semester. Therefore, a student who has completed 25
days of the 103 day semester, will be eligible for 24.27% (25 divided by 103
equals 24.27%) of their previous Title IV eligibility.
If the student received (or Crandall received on the student’s behalf) less
assistance than the amount that was earned, the student may be eligible to receive
those additional funds. If the student received more assistance than was earned,
the excess funds must be returned by Crandall and/or the student.
Returning Excess Title IV Funding
Crandall is required to return a portion of the excess funds equal to the lesser
of
1. Crandall’s charges multiplied by the unearned percentage of the funds, or
2. The entire amount of excess funds.
If Crandall is not required to return all of the excess funds, the student must
return the remaining amount.
Title IV funds will be returned to the lender in the following order:
1. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans
2. Subsidized Federal Direct Loans
Crandall will return all excess funds to the lender within 30 days of the last
date of attendance.
Withdrawal Date
When a student withdraws during a semester, the withdrawal date for Title IV
refund purposes will be established as the earlier of the following dates:
The date the student notifies the Registrar’s Office of his/her intent to
withdraw.
The date the student submits a withdrawal form.
If a student does not submit a withdrawal form or notify the Registrar of
his/her intent to withdraw, the withdrawal date will be established as the last date
of his/her class attendance.
If a student receives all failing grades for a semester and it is determined that
this is a result of lack of class attendance, that students last date of attendance will
be established and used to calculate the amount of Title IV funding earned for the
semester.
Crandall University Financial Information 45

Registrar’s Office and sign an official notice of withdrawal. The date of

refund will be considered.

refund depending on the time frame at which the student withdraws with a
medical note. Please contact the Registrar immediately should this occur.
Note: Residence students sign a residence contract for eight months (the
University term). If a student withdraws from residence without formal approval

Co-curricular Activities
Much of a student's growth and learning takes place outside the classroom and
removed from books. At Crandall University, numerous activities, organizations,
or opportunities exist for students to grow in all aspects of life. Drama and music
teams offer students an opportunity to develop talents and abilities and to use such
in ministry to others. The athletic program is a growing area with both varsity and
club sports teams. Student Government provides opportunity to learn more about
the structure of the University and to develop student leadership potential.
Social activities abound, including coffee houses, movie nights, and banquets.
Choosing to participate in these opportunities will enhance a student’s experience
at Crandall University.
Crandall Wellness Program
The aim of this program is to encourage students to develop and maintain a
balanced approach to life. The program will offer workshops, fitness sessions,
resources, nutritional guidance, and social events designed to strengthen the
community and encourage a healthy well-balanced lifestyle. This program is
coordinated by the Student Development Department.
Student Success Centre
The Student Success Centre, which is located in Murray Hall’s room 168,
exists to enhance the learning of the Crandall University community. Free
seminars and one-to-one appointments are offered to help students develop strong
academic habits and life skills. Writing assistance is emphasized at the Centre, and
students may meet with a trained writing consultant at any stage of the writing
process.
Athletics/Recreation
It is the University’s desire that students develop in all areas of life while at Crandall;
therefore, it provides opportunities for health and fitness. The fitness room is available to
62 Campus Life Crandall University
students during regular building hours. Students are encouraged to try out and/or sign up
for the teams co-ordinated each year.
Crandall University offers three levels of competitive athletics: Varsity, Club, and
Intramural. Varsity athletics consist of intercollegiate teams belonging to the Atlantic
Colleges Athletics Association such as women’s soccer, men’s basketball, and women’s
basketball. Club athletics may include baseball, hockey, softball, and volleyball.
Intramural opportunities arranged through the Student Association may include football,
volleyball, softball, badminton, and ping pong as the university strives to involve all
students in maintaining physical health and well-being during the academic year.
Spiritual Life
The signature verse of the University is taken from the book of Colossians, chapter
one - “that Christ might come to have first place in everything.” Therefore, we give as
much focus to spiritual life development as we do to academic development. The
historic Christian faith upon which this University was founded is evident in classes, in
residence, on the sports field, in our social activities, but above all in the lives of those
faculty, staff, and students who form our community.
One of the ways the University community celebrates faith is through the preaching
and teaching of God’s Word and through the praise and worship within our required
regular chapel gatherings. The academic activities of the University cease so that as
many as possible may come together to focus and regain perspective on the ways God
has blessed us and challenges us to develop and grow in biblical knowledge, spiritual
disciplines, and outreach. Choosing to attend Crandall also means choosing to
participate in the chapel program designed to enrich the spiritual dimension of the
student’s life. Please check the Student Handbook available on the website for specific
programs and details.
Students are also encouraged to find a local church where they will receive strength
and have opportunity to exercise their gifts and talents. A listing of local churches,
worship times, and mid week programs is available on the intranet. Some of these local
churches will also provide transportation from the University for Sunday services.
On Campus Housing
Crandall University provides residential options for students. Many choose
residence life because of location, convenience, and community. First year
students are encouraged to apply for residence within Colburne House as it
Crandall University Campus Life 63
provides a unique and rich experience of university life. The friendships
established here through visiting, socializing, studying, or sharing together will
last a lifetime.
Colburne House
The day-to-day operation of the Colburne House residence is under the
guidance of returning students known as Residence Assistants (R.A.’s). R.A.’s
will help students get settled into their rooms and will help with the transition
from home to university. R.A.’s will also demonstrate leadership and
responsibility so that Colburne House functions well and is in keeping with the
Christian mission of the University. The R.A. program and the operation of the
residence receives oversight and direction from the Student Development
Department.
The three-story residence, Colburne House, accommodates 140 students and is
divided into six separate wings. Each wing contains four living units. Each
living unit includes a washroom and a maximum of four bedrooms. Some units
may also include study rooms. Room options include single rooms, double
rooms, and super singles. In addition to six wing lounges, common space is also
found in the larger common lounge. The residence is located approximately 500
feet from Stuart E. Murray Hall.
Residence applications are considered on a first come first served basis.
Applications must be submitted along with the required $300.00 deposit when
applying for admission to the University. This deposit will be credited to the
student's account. Details on deadlines and refund policies can be found on the
Residence Application. Residence applications will be processed after the student
has been admitted to the University. Rooms will be assigned on a first-come,
first-served basis. The Residence Application allows students to recommend a
roommate or living unit mates if they desire. If not, the information requested on
the application will help the Student Development staff to make appropriate
roommate selections. The Student Development Department reserves the right to
determine priority assignment of single rooms to students who provide
documentation of special needs or circumstances. Once the residence is full, a
waiting list will be kept based on date of application. An off-campus housing
listing is posted on the intranet.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible and adult manner
consistent with Christian values at all times. The standard of conduct expected is
informed by the scriptures and consistent with the aims of the Christian
community. For specific policies on alcohol consumption, drugs, smoking,
dishonesty, gossip, etc., please refer to the Student Handbook.

Orientation
An information packet is sent to students normally in the spring to supply up-
to-date information for the upcoming university year. Any questions regarding
programs, courses, and timetables should be directed to the Registrar’s Office.
The Student Development Office should be contacted regarding residence life or
general orientation options for students.
During the first few days at Crandall University, students may be filled with
excitement and anxiety. Student Development hosts an orientation program that
has been designed to lessen the anxiety and increase the excitement. At the same
time, it provides students with a sense of belonging. Staff and student volunteers
keep new and returning students informed of what, when, where, who, why, and
how. Faculty as well as representatives from the Registrar’s Office are available
for consultation and advising. Some course placement and assessment tests are
done at this time in preparation for registration. All first-time students to Crandall
University should schedule their arrival on campus so as to participate completely
in orientation events.
Registration
Students must register each year according to procedures and time frames
supplied by the Registrar’s Office. Failure to do so may result in financial penalty
and possible denial of registration in certain courses.
Attendance
Students are responsible to attend all classes in which they are registered.
Instructors may bar students from writing the final examination in any course
when they have missed more than one quarter of the classes without permission or
legitmate cause. Individual professors may indicate further attendance
expectations within their course syllabi.
Students should notify the Registrar’s Office if they have to leave campus for
serious medical or compassionate reasons. The Registrar’s Office will then notify
faculty on students’ behalf.
The University has the right to automatically withdraw students from the
University in cases when they show no evidence of regular attendance within
Crandall University Academic Regulations 67
classes in which they registered. Students may be responsible for all fees
associated with their semester(s). Letters of intent to withdraw students must be
initiated by professors and notice of such will be sent from the Registrar’s Office.
Email Communication
All official electronic correspondence from, the University administration will
be conducted through the student email system. The email address assigned to
students, by the University, is the only email address that will be used for
communciation to students regarding personal information related to academic
and administrative purposes. Students are responsible for frequently checking
their University email account to receive such notifications.
Class Cancellation
Scheduled changes or cancellations that affect the university as a whole will be
noted on the Crandall Information Line at 506-863-6440. Individual classes may
be cancelled by the faculty member upon consultation with the Academic Office.
Notification will normally be posted at the classroom.
Course Changes and Withdrawals
All course changes and withdrawals made following the completion of
registration must be finalized through the Registrar's Office. However, students’
faculty advisors may be involved in filling out the appropriate forms. Any course
withdrawals following the deadline date for course changes, typically two weeks
after the start of classes for each term (see Calendar of Events page for specific
dates), will result in W (withdrew) grades for those courses on academic
transcripts. The deadline is normally two weeks (or equivalent) after the start of
classes for each term. Courses dropped prior to the above mentioned deadline of
each term will not be shown on students’ transcripts. No withdrawals will be
permitted following the date stated in the Academic Calendar of Events of the
current calendar. All first-time students attending Crandall University are
required to register in at least one required Religious Studies course during their
first semester, for at least two weeks of the semester.
68 Academic Regulations Crandall University
Withdrawal from University
Students who to wish to withdraw officially must do so with the Registrar's
Office. The Registrar’s Office will then assist students in notifying various
departments of the university such as residence, finance, and faculty. The
effective date of withdrawal is the date on which the Registrar’s Office accepts the
withdrawal. If students withdraw prior to the last date for course additions, no
official record of their attendance in these courses will be maintained. Students
who withdraw after the last date for course additions, and prior to the last date for
withdrawals, will receive W grades on all courses in which they were registered.
The administration of the University may request students to withdraw from
the University at any time for unsatisfactory conduct, for failure to abide by
University regulations, or for failure to achieve university academic standards.
Change of Major/Program
Students who change from one major to another or from one program to
another should discuss the situation with academic advisors, and they should fill
out a “Change of Major/Program” form which can be obtained from the
Registrar's Office. The decision to change needs to be approved by the Registrar’s
Office and, in some cases, may require re-assessment by the Admissions Office.
Students must also realize that any such change may extend the time frame for
completion of their programs.
Examinations and Evaluation of Course Work
All term work is due no later than the last day of classes for B.A., B.B.A., and
B.Sc. students. All term work is due no later than the last day of the examination
period for B.Ed. students. Students who wish to appeal for an extension must do
so to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee.
Final examinations for the fall semester are held in December. Final
examinations for the winter semester are held in April. Students will be provided
with a final examination schedule no later than four weeks into each semester.
Should any conflicts be created between examinations, students will receive
opportunity to adjust their schedules by submitting a Change of Examination
Request form to the Registrar’s Office. This form should be submitted at least
two weeks before the start of the examination period. Students may request an
alternate examination schedule if they have two exams scheduled in the same
Crandall University Academic Regulations 69
examination period, if they have more than two examinations within a 24 hour
period, or if they have been approved for learning accommodations based on
documentation on file in the Registrar’s Office.
Should students wish to appeal a change of examination for any other reason,
they may do so to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee by submitting
a Change of Examination Request form along with supporting documentation at
least two weeks prior to the start of the examination period. Personal scheduling
conflicts will not normally lead to approval of students’ appeals. If in limited
cases students’ appeals are granted, they will be subject to a $50.00 fee per
examination. Alternate examinations will normally be scheduled on days that
follow the scheduled examination period.
Should an examination be missed, for any reason, including illness, the
Registrar’s Office must be notified as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours
from the time the examination was missed. Absence from a final examination due
to illness must be supported by a medical note supporting the nature of the illness.
Missed examinations will normally be rescheduled on days that follow the
scheduled examination period.
Students who are absent from a final examinations without acceptable excuse
will be assigned a grade of F for those examinations.
Release of Final Grades
Final grades will not be released by the University prior to the official release
of grades by the Registrar’s Office. Faculty may not provide final grades or final
exam grades to students in any form prior to the release of grades by the
Registrar’s Office. No individual requests for receipt of grades will be accepted.
Transcript requests will be processed after the official release of grades. Marks
will not be released until students’ accounts have been paid in full.
Grading Standards
Students will be assessed according to the grading requirements indicated in
the courses' syllabi. All professors are expected to abide by the Guidelines for
Grading and Reporting Grades stated below.
70 Academic Regulations Crandall University
Guidelines for Grading and Reporting Grades
Grading policies for courses are stated within individual syllabi. These
policies attempt to ensure that all students are assessed fairly in relation to other
students in the same class, students in other sections of the same course, and
students in other courses at the University.
The grading standard is based on students’ demonstrated abilities in some of
the following areas: understanding, critical evaluation, analysis and synthesis,
organization, application, and appropriate writing form and style.
When questions about marks given on individual course assignments occur
during the academic year, students should deal with professors directly. If this
action does not result in a satisfactory conclusion, students may choose to discuss
the matter with their faculty advisor or the Registrar, and/or they may choose to
make a formal written appeal to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee.
In instances where students believe that professors are specifically singling
them out and not treating them consistently with the other students in the class, the
Vice President for Academic Affairs should be contacted.
Should students have any questions about the accuracy of their final marks, the
Registrar's Office needs to be contacted immediately. If any error in calculating
or recording the mark is discovered, the correction will be made automatically,
and a new transcript of marks will be issued to the students. Should no error be
detected resulting in continued dissatisfaction on the part of the students, they may
appeal to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee. This appeal must be
made in writing and should contain all pertinent information and concerns
regarding the situation. The Academic Standards and Appeals Committee is not
required to search out information if students have not offered sufficient details in
their appeals. Whenever possible students need to substantiate claims made
within their appeal letters.
Reporting of Grades
All grades must be submitted on or before the due date as noted in the
Academic Calendar. Outstanding grades, without an approved extension, will be
noted as a grade of “F” on student records. Following submission of final grades,
faculty are not permitted to change grades except in the cases where a calculation
of grade error has occurred or a student-initiated appeal has resulted in a change in
the original grade. Such a change must be submitted by the professor with an
explanation.
Crandall University Academic Regulations 71
The Registrar’s Office releases grades to students at the end of each semester
only in cases where all accounts with the University have been paid.
Grading Scale and Symbols
Standard alpha symbols are used as the official means to indicate course
results. Grade points and percentage equivalents are stated below. (Percentage
equivalents are offered below as a point of general comparison, but they have no
official status in the reporting of grades.)
A+ = 4.33 (94-100%)
A = 4.00 (87-93%)
A- = 3.67 (80-86%)
B+ = 3.33 (77-79%)
B = 3.00 (74-76%)
B- = 2.67 (70-73%)
C+ = 2.33 (67-69%)
C = 2.00 (64-66%)
C- = 1.67 (60-63%)
D+ = 1.33 (57-59%)
D = 1.00 (54-56%)
D- = 0.67 (50-53%)
F+ = 0.33 (40-49%)
F = 0.00 (below 40%)
In addition to the above grading symbols, five other designations are possible:
P – Pass is usually awarded for non-credit program requirements. It is not
calculated into the GPA.
W – Withdrew is assigned when students withdraw from courses after the second
week of classes and prior to the last day to withdraw as indicated in the calendar
of events.
IP – In Progress is assigned to active transcripts when students are actually in the
process of completing the course or program. It is also assigned in extenuating
circumstances when students have been unable to complete the course
requirements in the normal time period. Usually this delay would not exceed
more than six weeks. The Academic Standards & Appeal Committee must
approve this extension.
I – Incomplete is assigned temporarily, at the request of professors, when
students in non-credit courses have work not completed.
72 Academic Regulations Crandall University
AU – Audit is assigned for courses that have been audited. It is not calculated
into the GPA.
Education Internship Grading System
P(Dis) = Pass, Distinguished
P(Pro) = Pass, Proficient
P(Bas) = Pass, Basic
F = Fail
Grade Point Average (GPA)
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is an indication of students’ academic performance
based on a scale ranging from 0.00 to 4.33 (see grade scale earlier). The GPA is
calculated by changing each letter grade to its grade point equivalent and multiplying this
number by the number of credit hours attributed to the course. These points are then
totalled and divided by the total credit hours attempted by students. Students’ transcripts
will reflect both sessional GPA’s as well as a cumulative GPA for all the courses taken
to that point.
Dean's List
Students who are enrolled in Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or
Bachelor of Business Administration degree programs, or an equivalent, will be
considered Dean's List students if they maintain overall term GPA’s of 3.50 or
more.
Academic Probation/Dismissal
During the annual assessment period at the end of the winter semester the
Academic Standards and Appeals Committee may decide to dismiss students from
the University at any time for failure to meet academic requirements.
B.A., B.Sc., or B.B.A. students who have attempted between 24-51 credit
hours of work and who are unable to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 1.00
must be assessed by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee and may be
dismissed as a result of this assessment.
Crandall University Academic Regulations 73
B.A., B.Sc., or B.B.A. students who have attempted a minimum of 24 credit
hours, but have not yet earned 54 credit hours of work, and have achieved a
cumulative GPA of between 1.00 and 1.49 will be considered on academic
probation.
B.A., B.Sc., or B.B.A. students who have earned more than 51 credit hours of
work and who are unable to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 1.50 must be
assessed by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee and may be placed
on probation or may be academically dismissed as a result of this assessment.
Students who complete courses from other universities or colleges while on
Academic Dismissal from Crandall University are not eligible to receive credit for
transfer toward their degrees at Crandall University.
Students who enter the university on conditional acceptance are given a
miniumum of 24 credit hours to improve their probationary status. To change
their conditional status students must obtain a cumulative GPA of at least 1.50.
Students who have not met this requirement but have obtained a sessional GPA
between 1.00 and 1.49 will be permitted to continue their studies on academic
probation. Failure to meet the minimum GPA standard of 1.00 will result in
academic dismissal.
Academic probation and dismissal guidelines regarding students who are
enrolled in Education and Adult Learner Professional Studies Degree Completion
programs are presented in separate documents. Inquiries should be made to the
program director regarding Adult Learner Professional Studies Degree
Completion and to the Assistant Registrar for Professional Studies regarding
Education.
Any academically dismissed student has the right to appeal the University’s
decision in writing to the Academic Council. Such a request should be forwarded
to the Registrar. Any academically dismissed students who receive permission
from the Academic Council to return to Crandall University will be placed on
conditional re-admittance. The student will need to achieve a cumulative GPA of
at least 1.50 to have their probationary status removed.
Students are normally removed from probationary status when they achieve a
cumulative GPA of 1.50, which then returns students’ status to good academic
standing.
74 Academic Regulations Crandall University
Academic Status

students’ GPA and years of study. The following types of academic standing may
be assigned:
Academic Dismissal – Students are not permitted to register at the university for
one calendar year when they have received academic dismissal.
Academic Probation –Students with a cumulative GPA of less than 1.50 are
placed on academic probation.
Conditional Acceptance – Students must achieve a cumulative GPA of 1.50 in
their first year with the university if they have been conditionally accepted.
Conditional Re-admittance – Students are permitted to re-register with academic

Academic Dishonesty
The members of Crandall University’s academic community are expected to
conduct their work responsibly and with integrity. The faculty assumes that all
written and oral work in any course is original or credited to the proper source.
Crandall University will not tolerate the following forms of academic dishonesty:
1. Cheating on tests, quizzes, examinations, projects, reports, or any other
assignment designed to evaluate students.
2. Impeding the academic progress of other students.
Crandall University Academic Regulations 75
3. Submitting the same work for credit in two courses without permission to
do so.
4. Having others do students’ academic work or doing others’ work.
5. Involvement in acts of plagiarism, which is the presentation of anothers’
ideas or words as students’ own without proper documentation. Material
that must be documented includes summaries, paraphrases, public
broadcasts, lectures, and quotations.
Penalties for Academic Dishonesty
Penalties for academic dishonesty include one or more of the following:
1. reprimand and rewrite
2. reduction of grade on the assignment (maximum penalty of F)
3. grade of F on the course
4. suspension
5. dismissal
When encountering any form of academic dishonesty, professors have some
discretion in determining the seriousness of the offense. This discretion needs to
be tempered by an awareness that their courses are part of a larger educational
context at Crandall University and that there have been general guidelines and
practices established by the University’s Academic Standards and Appeals
Committee in an effort to minimize the presence of academic dishonesty at
Crandall University. The objective is to create a balance between allowing
flexibility from one professor to another, but also establishing a range of
consistent and appropriate treatments for all Crandall students.
Plagiarism specifically represents a controversial and difficult form of
academic dishonesty within any university, so the following guidelines have been
approved by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee as the consistent
and appropriate measure for faculty to follow at Crandall.
1. When students in their first year at Crandall University commit
plagiarism, professors may allow students to rewrite the assignment with
a reduction in grade. However, depending on the severity of the offense,
professors may assign instead an F on the assignment or even an F on the
entire course and they must submit the students’names to the Academic
Standards and Appeals Committee. Should this occur the professors
must also clearly state for the students the specific reasons for this
decision. If students question professors’ decisions in such cases, they
must submit their appeals in written form to the Registrar as Chair of the
Academic Standards and Appeals Committee.
76 Academic Regulations Crandall University
2. In cases of plagiarism by students in their second or subsequent years at
Crandall University, professors must give the assignments or papers an F,
and they must submit the students’ names and evidence of the offense to
the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee. In making their
submissions to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee,
professors may recommend, with reasons, that the F grade be raised or
that an F be assigned for the entire course.
3. In cases when students’ names are submitted to the Academic Standards
and Appeals Committee of the University by professors, the members of
the committee will make a decision regarding the penalty to be imposed
and will notify both students and professors of the outcomes and the
reasons why. (The Academic Standards and Appeals Committee may
choose to interview students and/or faculty members involved should
further clarification be needed.) A copy of the letter that is sent to
students will also be placed in their particular files.
4. The penalty for a second offense of plagiarism, which occurs after
students have been penalized for a first offense by the Academic
Standards and Appeals Committee, is either suspension or dismissal.
5. Plagiarism that is determined after the assignment has been returned or
after students have completed the course or degree program will be
reported by the professors responsible for discovering the plagiarism to
the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee, which will implement
the penalties retroactively.
Since final examinations are administered by the Registrar’s Office, incidents
of academic dishonesty during the writing of final examinations will be addressed
by the Registrar in consultation with the Academic Standards and Appeals
Committee and the professor of record for the course in which the offense has
been committed.
Academic dishonesty involving the collaboration of two or more students may
result in penalties for all involved. Students accused of academic dishonesty are
encouraged to discuss the matter directly with the professor. If no satisfactory
conclusion is reached, students have the right to appeal the professor’s decision in
writing to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee and the decision of the
Academic Standards and Appeals Committee to the Senate. All appeals to the
Academic Standards and Appeals Committee must be made within two weeks of
being notified of the offense.
Crandall University Academic Regulations 77
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to attend classes in courses without being assigned a grade
may register to audit the course, subject to the following regulations:
1. Registrations for audit will not be accepted without permission
of the course instructor.
2. Normal regulations and deadlines regarding course adds and
drops apply.
3. Students cannot change courses from credit to audit or from
audit to credit after the last day for course changes in a semester.
Letter of Permission
Crandall University will provide letters of permission with the approval of the
professor of record or the Registrar’s Office upon receipt of the Request for Letter
of Permission form. Students must be in good standing to take courses on letter
of permission.
Transfer credits are recorded on the transcript with credit value only. No
transfer credit grade is recorded, and transfer credits are excluded from students’
GPA’s.
Convocation Requirements
Students in degree programs are eligible to convocate if they have achieved a
cumulative GPA of 1.67 or a GPA of 2.00 over the last 60 credit hours of their
course work.
Certificates are awarded only if students have achieved a cumulative GPA of
1.67 in their program requirements.
Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Business
Administration students who have achieved a minimal cumulative GPA of 3.67
upon completion of their program will receive a “with distinction” designation on
their degrees.
Students who expect to complete all of their degree requirements at the end of
a particular semester must submit an Application to Graduate form along with
their $50.00 graduation fee six months prior to their anticipated Spring
Convocation and two months prior to their anticipated Fall Convocation. Failure
78 Academic Regulations Crandall University
to meet this deadline may result in students’ ineligibility to graduate on the
expected date. Potential graduates will normally convocate at the earliest
available ceremony. Application to Graduate forms are available from the
Registrar's Office.
Community Practicum
Arts, Business, and Science students (excluding degree completion) are
required to fulfill some form of practical service commitment in the church or
community. Assignments are equivalent to two hours of service per week, so
each community practicum credit requires approximately 20 hours of
involvement. Community practicum is part of the required curriculum. One
semester of community practicum is required for every year of full-time study up
to a maximum of four community practicums. Completion of ID1000 allows
students to waive one community practicum requirement.
The assignments vary in nature and may include the following: ministering,
social service, leading youth activities, teaching Sunday School, serving as a
public school aide, leading in music ministry, volunteering for any number of non-
profit agencies, and serving in designated university options. A number of service
options are available on campus. Here is a list of university positions that may
count toward community practicum: Beacon editor, yearbook editor, CREW
member, club team manager, worship team member, Crandall Spotlight Theatre
actor, Residence Assistant (RA), Youth Leadership Certificate intern, residence
council member, and Crandall Student Association Student Senate member.
Involvement in the Student Leadership Challenge may also count toward
community practicum credit. Service work done for course credit does not count,
however. Before completing volunteer work for community practicum credit,
please check with the community practicum coordinator in the Registrar’s Office
to ensure that it will count.
Mature students may qualify to have their community practicum requirements
waived based on past involvement. Portfolios validating extensive community
service may be submitted to the community practicum coordinator in the
Registrar’s Office, and he/she will schedule an assessment meeting with each
applicant regarding the requirement.
Community practicum records are maintained by the Registrar’s Office. This
information is a part of students’ official records, and successful completion is
necessary for graduation.
Crandall University Academic Regulations 79
Second Degree Requirements
To receive a second degree from Crandall University all requirements of the
second degree must be fulfilled, including a minimal addition of 36 credit hours to
the 120 credit hours of the first degree.
Directed Studies
A Directed Study is a 3000 or 4000 level reading course offered in special
circumstances to upper level students on an individual basis. Directed Studies are
available only on a limited basis due to the additional responsibility they place
upon the faculty. Students interested in requesting a Directed Study course should
follow the following procedures:
Contact a potential professor as well as the Registrar’s Office;
Obtain a Directed Study request form from the Registrar’s Office;
Submit Directed Studies request forms prior to the last possible day for
course changes of the semester in which the course is to be done;
signed by the student and professor, to the Registrar. This form will be
reviewed and submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for
approval consideration.
Transcript Requests
The Registrar's Office will process transcript requests received from students
via a signed Transcript Request Form. Such requests will normally take 3-5
business days; however, at peak times, this process could take two weeks. A fee
of $5.00 per official transcript is charged. Transcripts will not be released to
students with outstanding account balances.
Updating Degrees
Crandall University will exchange degrees for graduates of Crandall
University who subsequently complete the requirements for a second major at a
later date. These students will not participate in the Convocation ceremony again,
but acknowledgement of the change will be included in the Convocation program.
They will be subject to the program regulations in place at the time of their return
to the University.

Parchment Reprints
Degree and certificate parchment reprints are available upon the completion of
the corresponding request form if students verify that the original was destroyed
or lost. A reprint may be available to students who request their degrees in a
name that differs from that on the original parchment if they return the original
parchment. In all cases, the parchment shall be marked as duplicate or
replacement. There is a $30.00 fee to reprint a new degree parchment.

The purpose of this program is to prepare educators who are sensitive to the
individual differences of children and adolescents and who are competent in
addressing a wide range of learning levels. A student-centered approach to
educational practice and the role of the teacher as a servant-leader are major areas
of emphasis for this program of study. The program goals outline the values
which guide the students’ program of study and ultimately lead to the formation of
student-centered educational leaders. The following are the program goals:
Knowledge of Children and Adolescents: Student-centered educators draw on
their knowledge of childhood and early adolescent development and their
relationships with students to understand and foster their students’ knowledge,
skills, interests, aspirations, and values.
Knowledge of Subject Matter: Student-centered educators draw on their
knowledge of subject matter to establish goals and to facilitate student learning
within and across the disciplines that comprise the curriculum.
Instructional Resources: Student-centered educators select, adapt, create, and
use rich and varied resources.
Learning Environment: Student-centered educators establish a caring,
stimulating, inclusive, and safe community for learning where students take
intellectual risks and work independently and collaboratively.
Meaningful Learning: Student-centered educators require students to confront,
explore, and understand important and challenging concepts, topics, and issues in
purposeful ways.
Multiple Paths to Knowledge: Student-centered educators use a variety of
approaches to help students build knowledge and strengthen understanding.
Social Development: Student-centered educators foster students’ self-awareness,
self-esteem, character, civic responsibility, and respect for diverse individuals and
groups.
Student Assessment: Student-centered educators employ a variety of assessment
methods to obtain useful information about student learning and development and
to assist students in reflecting on their own progress.
Reflective Practice: Student-centered educators regularly analyze, evaluate, and
strengthen the effectiveness and quality of their practice.
Family Partnerships: Student-centered educators work with families to achieve
common goals for the education of their children.
Crandall University Programs of Study 95
Collaboration with Colleagues: Student-centered educators work with
colleagues to improve schools and to advance knowledge and practice in their
field.
Delivery Options:
1. Consecutive B.Ed. Degree – This is available to those individuals who
have previously completed a B.A., B.B.A., or B.Sc. degree, or
equivalent. (Note: Equivalences are based on Crandall’s standards and
guidelines.) It is a two-year, 60 credit hour program.
2. Concurrent B.Ed. Degree – This is available to those individuals who
have completed 30 credit hours towards a B.A., B.B.A. or B.Sc. degree,
or equivalent, and are interested in completing the two degrees
simultaneously. The two degrees combine into 180 credit hours, but in
certain instances this may be reduced to 168 credit hours should electives
be available from the student’s initial undergraduate degree. The
concurrent program begins in the student’s second year and requires a
minimum of four years of study beyond the initial year, for a total of five

The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities Study Programs
Because Crandall University is an affiliate member of The Council of
Christian Colleges and Universities, a number of off-campus learning experiences
are available to students.
American Studies Program:
The American Studies Program, founded in September 1976, serves as the
"Washington campus" of Council member colleges. Based on the principle of
integrating faith, learning, and living, students spend a semester in Washington,
DC earning academic credit by serving as interns and participating in a
contemporary, issue-oriented seminar program. Available internships may
include congressional offices, social service agencies, think tanks, or cultural
institutions. The American Studies Program is designed for juniors and seniors
with a wide range of academic majors and vocational interests.
Latin American Studies Program:
An opportunity to live and learn in Latin America is available to students from
Council member colleges through the Latin American Studies Program. Located
in San Jose, Costa Rica, the program is committed to helping students examine
and live out the lordship of Jesus Christ in an international context. Each
semester, a group of approximately 25 students is selected to participate in this
seminar and service experience.
Los Angeles Film Studies Center:
In January 1991, the Christian College Council inaugurated the Los Angeles
Film Studies Center. Its purpose is to enable Christian college students to serve in
various aspects of the film industry with professional skill and Christian integrity.
Located in Burbank near major production studios, the semester-long program
combines seminar courses with an internship in various segments of the film
106 Programs of Study Crandall University
industry, providing students the opportunity to explore the industry within a
Christian context and from a liberal arts perspective.
Middle East Studies Program:
The Middle East Studies Program in Cairo, Egypt, provides students with the
opportunity to study Middle Eastern cultures, religions, and conflicts from within
this diverse and strategic region. Juniors and seniors from Christian colleges
participate in interdisciplinary seminar classes, receive Arabic language
instruction, and serve as interns with various organizations in Cairo. The Middle
East Studies Program will encourage evangelical Christians to relate to the
Muslim world in an informed and constructive manner.
Russian Studies Program:
The Russian Studies Program allows juniors and seniors from Christian colleges to
spend a semester living and learning in Russia. Students will study the language and
attend seminar courses on Russian culture, history and current political and economic
issues. Program participants experience a variety of Russian cities, living for two weeks
in Moscow, ten weeks in Nizhni Novgorod (formerly Gorky), and three weeks in St.
Petersburg.
Council-Affliliated Programs:
Au Sable Institute Of Environmental Studies:
Located in Michigan, this program offers courses which cover various aspects of
environmental studies and stewardship. Ecological information is provided along with
experience in both field and laboratory techniques. Scholarship assistance is available to
students at Council member colleges.
Oxford Summer School Program:
Students at Council member colleges and universities are invited to apply for
admission to the Oxford University Summer School Program, a multi-disciplinary study
of the history and development of the Renaissance and Reformation through examination
of the philosophy, art, literature, science, music, politics, and religion of this era. Students
have access to the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, which is affiliated with
Oxford’s Keble College.

Crandall University Programs and Course Descriptions 107
PROGRAMS and COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Course Number System
Four figures appear for each course indicated in the calendar. The first figure indicates
the usual year of attendance in which the course is taken and/or the academic level at which
the course is taught. For instance, {1} indicates that it is a course available for all first year
students. All courses beginning with a {3} or {4} will be considered upper level courses
requiring prerequisites. Generally 4000 level courses are very specialized within a
particular major and available for third and fourth year students in that major. The 6000
level courses in Education are graduate level and require a B.Ed. or equivalent as a
prerequisite.
The second and third figures provide the Registrar’s Office with the opportunity of
maintaining a numeric distinctiveness between various courses offered from one semester
to the next.
The fourth and final digit normally indicates the number of credit hours granted upon
the successful completion of the course. For instance, half-year courses will end with a {3}
and year courses will end with a {6}. Those course numbers ending in {0}are non-credit or
non-academic courses but will still be awarded a pass (P) or fail (F) grade.
Crandall University utilizes a semester approach to its course offerings. This means
that the majority of courses last for only one semester and a final grade is given upon
completion of each semester. However, in a few specific cases, such as would be found
within many introductory courses or some upper level courses, one semester does not
provide adequate time to cover all the necessary content. In these cases, the semester
approach is maintained, but both fall and winter semesters are used in sequence to cover all
the necessary material. In some cases, Part I is the prerequisite for Part II.
The courses listed in this section are not always offered every year but may occur, for
instance, every other year. Students will need to consult the Registrar’s Office to determine
what the normal sequencing pattern would be.
Courses marked with an asterisk (*) are cross-listed in other disciplines.
Biology
The B.Sc. in Biology degree gives students the opportunity to explore the diversity of life
forms, their complex inter-relatedness, and the foundational issues related to their studies.
A major in Biology will form the basis for graduate studies, for professional studies in
education, health scineces, or for entry-level jobs in various careers related to science.
