iC GUIDELINE DISCLOSURES

inCharacter School of Ministry believes that in order to maintain a healthy environment for student interaction and team dynamic, there should be an established set of rules and standards by which all students should adhere. These guidelines affect dormitory life, church attendance, ministry involvement, interpersonal relationships, and striving for personal excellence in integrity and character. Please be aware that Associates degree students will NOT be permitted to work outside employment during their enrollment at iC. It is important that students experience the immersive nature of inCharacter’s ministry training program. Students are to have their tuition settled prior to first day of the program (either in full or payments).
