学术生活要求

教堂出席

Daily chapels are held for the Emmaus students, staff, and faculty. Chapel provides an opportunity for the Emmaus community to come together daily for a devotional thought, 敬拜, 祈祷, 以及信息的交流. All full-time students are required to attend daily chapel, floor devotions, and 成长小组. This includes resident, nonresident, and continuing education students. Attendance at all chapel periods is recorded by means of swiping the student ID card at the beginning of the chapel period. 未刷卡将作为跳过费用被收取. (Please see the Student ID Card Replacement Policy if your student ID card is lost or damaged.) Resident Assistants and Growth Group leaders are responsible for attendance at floor devotions and split chapels for resident students. Tardiness for chapel is handled in the following manner: Five minutes is considered late. Three late offenses in the span of two weeks are calculated as one skip. 迟到十分钟记为旷课. 

If a full-time student needs exemption for attending chapel due to an emergency, 家庭状况, 或者其他个人问题, s/he must secure permission from Student Development as soon as possible. Semester-long exemptions may also be granted at the beginning of the semester by securing permission from Student Development. 表格可在前台领取.

If a student exceeds 10 skips per semester, s/he will fail chapel. Chapel attendance is recorded on student transcripts as Pass/Fail. STUDENTS MUST PASS CHAPEL EACH SEMESTER OF FULL-TIME ATTENDANCE IN ORDER TO GRADUATE. Students who do not pass Chapel for any given semester may contact Student Development to complete a make-up assignment to change their grade from Fail to Pass. Please note that make-up assignments are not to be used as a substitute for your attendance in chapel. 鼓励和期望定期参加教堂礼拜. Students with two chapel failures on their transcripts will not be allowed to begin classes in the semester following until make-up assignments for both chapel failures are submitted and approved for grade change from Fail to Pass.

成长小组

In order to foster spiritual growth and fellowship within the student body, Emmaus provides a small group 部 for all students called 成长小组. 成长小组 meet every Tuesday as part of the Chapel program. 每学期, 成长小组 choose a book or topic for study with approval from the Director of 精神生活.
