raduation exercises are held the first full week of June each year at the home
church of GCBI, Gulf Coast Baptist Church, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
GCBI does not require students to attend the annual graduation exercises.
We fully understand the costs and inconvenience associated with traveling to
graduation and we do not wish to create an unnecessary burden on GOd's
people. For those graduates who are not able to attend graduation, GCBI
mails the diploma to the student upon meeting all the graduation
requirements.

Graduation week is an exciting time at Gulf Coast Baptist Church. Church
members and GCBI staff get to meet students and share in their blessing of
graduation from school. Great Bible preaching, singing, and testimonies
Monday through Friday culminate in graduation Friday night. It can be a
real time of revival for the graduates, their spouses, and family.

Students attending the graduation may do so at their own expense (travel,
motel, meals, etc.). A banquet is given in honor of the students on Friday
afternoon. Students may bring their spouses, parents, grandparents, and
pastor to the banquet. Children are not permitted in the banquet hall.
Nursery workers are available to take care of the children during the
banquet. Students who wish to attend the banquet on Friday afternoon must
return their banquet RSVP no later than May 15th.

he diploma fee is sent in when the students last UNIT is mailed in for
grading. If the student plans to attend the GCBI Graduation held in Florida,
the diploma fee must be sent in before May 15th. The diploma fees are as
follows:

ulf Coast Bible Institute requires each student to complete his course of
study with a minimum 2.0 Grade Point Average (GPA). Our GPA schedule

will be charged $5.00 to cover the cost of sending another Study Guide to the student.
The failed study guide WILL NOT be returned to the student.

the student will be awarded the proper degree for his level of study.

All tuition and graduation fees must be paid in full before the student will be
permitted to graduate from GCBI. Upon completion of all required work
the student will be awarded the proper degree for his level of study.
