ulf Coast Bible Institute offers the student the opportunity to obtain superior
level Bible training without stepping foot inside a classroom. Because
students work at home, they have the added responsibility of structuring
their study time around their busy work schedule. GCBI offers the following
study recommentations in hopes of helping the student make the most of his
at-home Bible training.

* Faithful, weekly, systematic study is critical to success. Pick a time and
place to study and be faithful to that time, unless emergencies arise. It is
easy to set down your studies for some other thing that comes up. Just be
sure to pick up your studies again as soon as possible. The #1 biggest
problem with correspondence students is waiting till the last minute to
complete the work.

* Set down a program for the UNIT, organizing the study materials into
your time frame. Do this for every UNIT, as some require more time than
others.

* You will have approximately 10-11 weeks of study time per UNIT. This
allows for time to mail your UNIT back in for grading. Divide your UNIT
work into ten work-weeks, checking yourself periodically to see if you are
still on schedule. Make adjustments as needed to finish on time.

* All work should be mailed in at least 10 days prior to the end of the
quarter to ensure your next UNIT is mailed on time for the next quarter.

* GCBI is very gracious about granting extensions when students require
more time to complete a UNIT. We understand that circumstances do arise
which make it difficult to turn in the UNIT. We only ask that students do
not abuse this privilege.

* Do not set down your studies for more than a few days. You will begin
to get behind, and the farther you get behind, the more frustrated you will
become.

* Enjoy the courses. Bible study is very rewarding. Use your school time
to absorb the Word of God. Concentrate on retention while you complete
your study guides.

* Begin as soon as you receive your materials.

UNITs of study in a calendar year. The calendar quarters are as follows:

Even though we operate on calendar quarters, students may enroll in
GCBI any day of the year. Adjustments can be made to help the student
line up his schedule with the calendar quarters as he progresses through his
studies. As stated above, GCBI is quite gracious in working with students
should circumstances make it necessary for the student to request an
extension to complete his current UNIT. There are NO financial penalties
for granted extensions. Students should contact GCBI as soon as possible
if an extension is needed.
