Purpose and Vision Older versions not accurate.
II Timothy 3:16-17, “All scripture is given by inspiration by God is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man
of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
2
There are few things in the universe that are as powerful as the Word of God. It has the
power to guide to salvation, to bring new life, to renew spirits, minds and hearts. God
said about His Word that it would not go forth void. Isaiah 55:11, “So shall my Word be
that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish
that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” It comes with its
own guarantee. All of us as children of God have been given a precious gift in God’s
Word. Many may only know what they have heard about or read about. The only Word
that many may hear might be what comes from the pulpit, or is taught by teachers. The
only Word that those in your congregation may ever receive may be what they hear from
your words. We are all called to carry His Word. We may be pastors, evangelists,
laymen, or simply parents with a mandate to carry to our children the legacy of the
scriptures like Timothy’s mother. The Word of God is a precious responsibility to all the
children of God. All the children of God need to be well equipped so that we can carry it
wherever the Lord leads us. To be well equipped, we have to study to show ourselves
approved, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. II Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the Word of truth.”
There is something else that needs to be touched on here. When the above scripture
talks about rightly dividing the Word of truth, it means just that. We have a
responsibility to carry the truth of the Word of God. It will be the truth that will set
people free. John 8:32, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.” If we aren’t careful we can fill our minds with our churches’ doctrinal stand
points. We can fill our minds with theology. We can teach what we are taught. It will
not set the people free. We have to get to know the Author of the book. We have got
to let God’s Spirit reveal His truth to our hearts. John 14:26, “But the Comforter, which
is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” You have
got to let the Holy Ghost fill you up so that when you preach or teach God’s Word, or
even witness, it will pour out with the power of His Spirit. II Corinthians 3:5-6, “Not that
we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of
God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but
of the Spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”
New Life Bible College and Seminary has as its number one goal the purpose of
equipping workmen to be able to carry the Word of God in whatever aspect they have
been called to do. Our motto is “Teaching and Training Workers For a Last Day’s
Ministry”. If ever the body of Christ needs to be empowered and directed by the
anointed Word of God it is now. Not too long from now the eastern sky will split. We
will rise to meet our Savior. Those friends, loved ones, acquaintances that we have that
are not living by the truth of the Word of God will be left behind. We will leave behind
some of those that the Lord has committed to us as pastors, evangelists, or laborers in
the field.
3
We need to be sure that the Word of God that we have presented to them was in truth
and the power of the Holy Ghost so that, if they accept it, they will rise to meet the Lord
by our side. If they do not accept it then we will be like the watchman in Ezekiel 3:17-
21. Their blood will not be on our hands because we obeyed God. We want to help you
to train workers that will be able to give a good account for their work for the Lord.
The satellite college program came about due to the requests of numerous pastors,
churches, and ministries for us to help them in training workers. We also desire to
provide the promise of greater spiritual growth for any Christian hungering after the
Word of God. Our texts that we use are mainly Bible Studies with little theology or
doctrinal ideas. We have many testimonies of people whose lives were changed by
these courses. This came about because they began to discipline themselves in studying
God’s Word, and God’s Word works. We desire to train whole persons, to communicate
the whole Gospel with the whole truth and with the anointing of the Holy Spirit to the
whole world. We desire your church or your ministry to be better equipped to obey
God in the vision that He has committed to you. We want to be of help to you in
furthering this vision in whatever way that we can. Through satellite colleges we are
enlarging our tent as in Isaiah 54:2 to stretch around the world. We are offering to you
an opportunity to train workers in your part of the world in the way that the Lord directs
you to under our umbrella. We offer you our support.
New Life Bible College and Seminary wants to state here plainly that our purpose in
starting extension colleges is not for the purpose of the satellite college’s monetary gain
or for our own gain. We have already had many ministers and pastors who (to their
shame) have seen the satellite college program as a way to gain our support for their
own gain. In other words, they wanted us to start an extension college as a part of their
ministry. They wanted us to pour our finance into their ministry, buy buildings, assume
all of their expenses with no controls. That is not reasonable, nor is it the purpose of
this program, and it will not work that way. The satellite program may do little more
than pay your expenses. New Life Bible College and Seminary will not help with
expenses other than what you keep as the percentage agreed upon. However, if your
goal is to equip your workers with the Word of God and enable them to earn an
accredited degree in the process (which is so much more important than monetary
gain), this will be the focus. Be sure that your focus is lined up with God’s Word, and He
will make a way for you in what you do.

Brief View of the Program
1. Your church or ministry will have an extension of New Life Bible College and
Seminary. Your extension college can be named according to your ministry. It
works better for all if your college has its own name other than New Life. We do
not allow the colleges to be named New Life unless they are already established
with that name before applying to be an extension.
2. New Life Bible College and Seminary will help you set up the classes. You will
function under our umbrella. NLBC&S is accredited with New Life Christian
Schools and Colleges International. You will also be under that accreditation.
3. We will provide the curriculum on a computer CD for all courses, tests, and keys.
(In one program, you may set up your own curriculum with the college’s help.)
Colleges may print their own, or they may order books. Please contact New Life
concerning ordering the curriculum.
4. New Life Bible College and Seminary will help in enrolling students, keep all
records, issue diplomas, keep permanent transcripts, and take care of all
transfers to and from the program from the time of their enrollment and in the
future.
5. Your satellite program will teach the courses, grade the work, grade all thesis
and dissertations, and do any direct correspondence with the students. Your
satellite will also keep copies of student’s records even though New Life will be
responsible for maintaining transcripts.
6. Students will be considered graduates from New Life Bible College and
Seminary with their degrees also stating your satellite program’s name.
7. The satellite program will pay to New Life Bible College and Seminary 10% of all
income that your college takes in not including book fees.
8. The local congregation or ministry where the satellite college is located will have
the oversight of the college in their building or community.
9. New Life Bible College and Seminary will advise you and become a team with
your church or ministry.
5
10. New Life Bible College and Seminary will in no way provide funds to the
extensions. Also, each extension is responsible for all of their own fees and
operating expenses.
HOW AND WHEN TO CONTACT NEW LIFE BIBLE COLLEGE AND
SEMINARY:
We encourage the extension colleges to stay in contact with New Life at least once a
month if not more than that. We try to contact each college monthly as well. We
like to know how you are doing, and if there is anything that we can help with. This
is important to let us know how you are doing. Also, please, never feel that if you
are having problems you can’t let us know because we may be offended. Let us
know. We have been doing this for over 14 years, and have colleges around the
world through our program. We may be able to offer advice that will help you
overcome. Also, it is good to be able to share your problems with someone. We are
always willing to listen.
We encourage the overseas colleges to email instead of calling by phone. Often it is
hard to understand overseas calls, and failure to understand can lead to problems
later.
If overseas colleges send transcripts or other material, please do not send it through
the mail. Please scan and email this information to us.
Brief View of the Program-Program 1
The satellite college uses our curriculum as set up in the catalog. The above
procedures are all the same.
Brief View of the Program- Program 2
The satellite college chooses their own curriculum with the help of NLBC&S. The
above procedures are all the same.
Brief View of the Program- Program 3
The satellite college uses a mixture of their own curriculum and ours. The above
procedures are all the same.
Important Note: Extension colleges are not allowed to offer total correspondence
programs. However, if a student cannot for some reason attend, they may enroll in
the extension and complete the courses through computer or mail. If students enroll
6
in a degree late, after all other students have started the degree and completed some
courses, and the students have missed some courses, they can catch up to the other
students by completing those at home.
Degrees Available:
The extensions may offer Associate, Bachelor, Masters, and Doctorate degrees in Biblical
Studies. Biblical Studies is the only degree that we have available for extensions. If a
pre-existing college already has other degrees before coming under our umbrella, then
they are welcome to continue the degrees they have.
Books and Courses
We use the Harvestime curriculum in the Associate and Bachelor degrees and to
supplement the Masters and Doctorate degrees. In the Masters and Doctorate degrees,
we use courses that have been written by individuals in our ministry. Both sets of
courses are full of scriptures from a Holy Ghost filled perspective. They strengthen and
empower students because they are filled with God’s Word. We do not offer any
courses that have church history, organization history, or social perspectives, but these
courses are filled with the Word of God. That is our purpose. The only way to equip the
body of Christ for a last day ministry is to fill them up with the Word of God so that they
can pour it out.
All colleges will receive a computer CD that will contain all courses needed, tests, and
keys. If colleges choose to do so, they can print the lessons for students. Many colleges
print the lessons for each session before the sessions start. This is what overseas
colleges must do as they will not be able to order the books. New Life Bible College and
Seminary does not provide printed books to the extensions, and they do not provide
money for books.
Extensions in the US can order the Harvestime courses directly from Harvestime from
their website at www.harvestime.org. The courses that have been written by
individuals at New Life are available through www.amazon.com. When you are ready to
order these, please contact New Life for help. Be aware that the student books ordered
from Harvestime may include a test key in the back of the book. Before you pass the
books out to students, you will need to take an exacto knife and carefully cut those out.
Many of the courses are lengthy. These can be divided into two courses. We have
included a list of the courses that are acceptable to do this in the material that we send.
There may be times when a college will not have time to complete all the material in the
courses. This is at their discretion, however, complete as much as is possible. If you do
not complete all the material there will be some questions on the test that you haven’t
covered.
7
The CD will contain long and short versions of the Harvestime courses. The Harvestime
courses, as they are from the company, had a lot of wasted space, and a lot of additional
supplementary material. We know that the overseas colleges sometimes have a huge
expense to pay for printing. We revised these, taking out the extra space and much of
the supplemental material to ease this expense.
We send the full courses that include all the material in them for the teachers to use so
that they can present the supplemental material to the students. The short versions are
the ones you need to print for the students.
We recommend that the colleges in the US order the Harvestime courses from them.
Those are the full version. That way students get the most information.
If a college wants to add courses, or completely redo the classes required for the
degrees, this is acceptable, however, they need to present the new courses to New Life
Bible College. Also, they need to keep the same number of courses and credits required
for each degree.
List of Courses in Each Degree
Please see the sample catalog for a list of the courses offered in each degree.
Catalog
As soon as you decide on the courses for each degree that you will offer, it is important
that you set up a catalog. We have included a sample catalog on the computer CD that
we will send. It is an outline to go by to design your own catalog. Having a catalog is
important as it will let your students know up front what is required.
IMPORTANT NOTE: AS SOON AS YOU COMPLETE YOUR CATALOG PLEASE EMAIL US A
COPY FOR OUR FILES.
Changing Your Requirements in the Future
We have had colleges to change their requirements. We understand that you may have
additions to make and things to change as you go along. From time to time we have
done so ourselves because we wanted to improve the credibility of our program.
However, you have to do this carefully. Don’t do this often. If you add to the number of
credits that you require students to complete, allow students who are already enrolled
to finish their degree under the same guidelines they registered under. Require all new
students to meet the new guidelines.
Course Structure
1. Each satellite college can structure their classes according to their needs.
NLBC&S will help you to do so. (Just a note: It is our suggestion that people
who want to attend your classes, but do not want to earn the college credit
8
be allowed to do so with only a minimal. This will increase interest in your
program, and it will benefit to all.)
2. Feel free to add information as you teach the courses according to how God
leads you. Feel free to allow lots of student discussion. Feel free to allow
time during each session to minister to one another, that is important.
Ministers often need to be to be ministered to because they constantly are
giving out. They need to receive. However, remember you will have a
schedule to go by that you have set up.
3. Setting up your schedule is something that you have to adjust and work with.
Here are our suggestions. This is based on schedules that have worked well
for other colleges.
Continue for one schedule option:
One Schedule Option
Some colleges hold lectures three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday. They divide the program into two semesters. In each semester,
students cover six courses. Their academic calendar runs from February to
June for the first semester, and from August to December for the second
semester.
Another schedule option:
Some colleges meet one time a week, they do four-six lessons a week. They
start August 10th and continue to May 15th. They narrow down their courses
to be able to cover everything.
The option you choose, or the schedule that you use needs to take into
consideration your needs, how much time your students have, the building
you use and the time available in it, and other considerations.
Getting the scheduling right is a tricky thing until you are familiar with the
courses, and how long it takes to get everything covered. It will take
practice. You may have to adjust it as you go along.
Registration Procedure
1. Contact NLBC&S with details of your program and receive your packet. Fill out
the application form and send in the $100.00 registration fee. All college
extensions must be in agreement with our statement of faith that is enclosed in
this packet. How can two walk together unless they agree?
2. Hold pre-registration somewhere around two to three weeks before your classes
are scheduled go give you time to be able to order your books.
9
3. Have students when they register to pay their registration fee to you, and fill out
their application form and ministry experience form. Also, if they have attended
previous colleges, you must get a copy of their transcripts. Copies of certificates
or degrees are not accepted. You must have copies of transcripts. In
transferring student’s credits to your college satellite, it is important to contact
NLBC&S as we will be the ones responsible to handle all transcripts. You will
need to present the transcripts for students who will be transferring in from
other colleges.
How to Send Transcripts: Please do not mail transcripts, or any information. This is
especially true for overseas extensions. It takes much longer and often things are
damaged in the mail. Please scan and email them.
4. We can help on deciding how to transfer credits and issue ministerial experience
credits. Be sure that you set up a system and do not show preference to certain
people by allowing them to have more credit than the chart lists for them. That
can only cause strife.
Here is a sample chart:
Ministry Experience
(Sample things credit is given for include: pastoring, evangelism, mission work, choir,
youth leaders, nursing home ministry, jail ministry, visitation, witnessing, etc.)
5 Credits-Given to new Christians who have just started serving the Lord and who are
involved in activities in the church.
10 Credits-Given to people who have been in a part time capacity for a couple of years.
15 Credits-Given to people with three to five years of experience more involved.
30 Credits-Given to people with 6 or more years of experience in a full time capacity.
If you do not choose to offer ministerial experience credits that would be fine.
However, if you choose not to do so, you will need to keep the same policy for
everyone. If you do choose to honor ministry experience, we suggest that you put the
ministry experience guidelines in your catalog.
Honorary Degrees: Extension colleges are not allowed to offer honorary degrees.
Issue each student an acceptance letter. We have enclosed a sample letter in this
packet and on the disc that is enclosed. Send it to them. Include their student number.
We will issue you a block of numbers to use for your satellite program. Please use
these numbers on all information you send regarding the students. Please don’t change
these numbers. Whatever number you issue to each student will be the same number
10
they will have even if they complete more than one degree. Don’t issue them a new
number each time they return.
Start a file for each student. Please use the student numbers that NLBC&S will issue
for your use as well. File copies of application, ministry experience, acceptance letter,
transcripts, etc. plus any future information or correspondence. We usually keep a copy
of all our correspondence with students for future references. It is our recommendation
to you to do the same.
When all the students in the program complete their degrees send in the following:
(Please send these through email.)
a. Send in the transcript and grading forms for each student. They are
included on the computer CD along with directions for how to do
each. It is important to follow the directions given.
b. Send in the past transcripts for each student who attended colleges
before they enrolled in your college. This is important, as we cannot
process degrees until we receive these.
c. Colleges must at this time send in 10% of fees collected. This does not
include book fees. We understand that fees collected for books must
go to purchase the books. Forms are provided to use to send in all
information.
d. We will mail a copy of the degree and a transcript for each student.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE EXTENSION COLLEGES MAY NOT ISSUE THEIR OWN
DEGREES OR TRANSCRIPTS AS WE HAVE THE ONLY SEAL. FOR THESE TO BE
OFFICIAL THEY MUST BE SEALED.
Graduation
If you desire to present the students’ degrees to them at your graduation ceremony you
must leave enough time for us to process the degrees and mail them to you. Colleges
who do not do so will at the last minute not be able to present these at graduation,
because they didn’t allow enough time.
Summary of Program
1. Send in required forms and fees to register.
2. Send in completed catalog.
3. Register students in time to order books.
4. When students complete degrees, send in transcripts from past colleges and
the grading and transcript form.
11
5. Send in the payment form with the 10% due to NLBC&S.
6. NLBC&S will issue diplomas and issue the transcripts. One copy of transcripts
will be given each student with their degree.
Helpful Hints on How To Structure Each Class Time
Many of our colleges use the Harvestime curriculum. This is an excellent curriculum
that is Spirit led. These courses concentrate on training workers for the kingdom of
God. In their curriculum they provide the following suggestions for structuring classes.
We would like to share these with you. For more information regarding using this
curriculum, please contact NLBC&S.
Harvestime, the publisher for the curriculum many colleges use, advises the following as
the structure for your classes. This method works excellent not only for this curriculum
but many others as well:
GROUP STUDY: ADVANCE PREPARATION
If you have not previously taught in a group setting, we suggest you take the course,
"Teaching Tactics." This course focuses on teaching methods Jesus used to train disciples
to reach the world with the Gospel. Follow these steps to establish the Institute:
1. Order from the Institute the first course you plan to teach.
2. Complete the reproduction request and reproduce enough copies of the course for
your group.
3. If you are taking students through the entire Harvestime curriculum, reproduce
copies of the "Student Record" form to record their progress. (See Part Two of this
guide).
4. Call together a group of concerned believers to join you in praying, organizing, and
publicizing of the Institute.
5. Establish the organizational structure. Identify leaders, teachers, and their
responsibilities. Set the dates, times, and places for class sessions.
6. Publicize the Institute: If you are selecting key leaders and the training is not open to
the general laity, you will not need to publicize the Institute. Contact each of the leaders
and give them the time, date, and place for the first session. If you are opening your
group to Christian lay people of the community, you need to advertise the meeting. If
you live in a rural village or remote area, your advertising may all be by word of mouth.
If you live in a city, you can prepare posters and flyers for distribution. Place these
anywhere Christians gather. Put them in churches, Christian bookstores, and ask local
ministers to announce the training from their pulpit or in their church newsletters.
Obtain mailing lists from Christian organizations and churches and send announcements
through the mail if postal service is available in your region. Send information on the
12
Institute to local newspapers and radio and television stations in your region. On all
publicity, always include the name of your organization, date, time, location and
purpose of your meeting. Include your own name, address, and telephone number as
the contact for further information.
GROUP STUDY: CONDUCTING THE SESSIONS
INTRODUCTORY MEETING:
-Open the first meeting with prayer and introduction of group leaders and members.
-Obtain the names and addresses of everyone in attendance. This will permit you to
contact them prior to the next meeting.
-Explain group procedures: Group leaders, teachers, and the dates, times, and places
you will meet.
-Conduct a time of praise and worship, inviting the presence of the Holy Spirit into the
training session.
-Present an overview of the total curriculum if you are going to use the entire training
program. Explain where the first course fits in the program.
-Distribute the manuals for the first course.
-Review with students the "Seven Study Steps" for independent study provided in Part
Two of this guide. Give each student a copy of these steps to guide their study. Each
time you introduce a new course, go through the course survey with students (Step One
of the "Seven Study Steps" given in Part Two of this guide).
-Present an overview of the first lesson. Make assignments for the students to read and
complete prior to the next meeting.
-Close the meeting with a time of prayer and ministry to students.
FOLLOWING MEETINGS:
-Open in prayer.
-Welcome new group members and provide them with course manuals.
-Praise and worship.
-Lesson: Discuss each section of the chapter students have studied. Ask students for
questions or comments.
-Review the "Self-test" together. Check to see how the students did on the test. You
may want to do the "For Further Study" projects as a group rather than on an individual
basis.
-Share any additional study you have done on the subject. Use various methods of
teaching:
-Ask questions.
-Call for group discussion.
-Use charts and diagrams to illustrate the lesson.
-Have students present reports on certain parts of the lesson.
13
-Involve the students. Participation is the best method for learning.
-Apply the lesson to the lives of students. Stress practical application, participation and
demonstration.
-Provide special times of dedication calling for new commitment to God.
-Always minister to special needs of group members and allow the Holy Spirit to
move in your training sessions.
CONCLUDING THE COURSE:
Note completion on the "Student Record" forms if your group is working towards
certificates. Challenge group members to use what they have learned and teach the
course to at least one other person during the next year. This will continuously expand
the network of training.
If a student expresses interest in teaching in a group setting:
l. Give him copy of this "Orientation and Administration Guide."
2. Refer him to the "Suggestions For Group Study" provided in the course manuals.
3. Suggest that he take the Institute course entitled "Teaching Tactics."
Book keeping Procedure
1. Always write a receipt for all payments from students that you receive. Mark
on the receipt whether the payment is cash, or check. It may be possible for
us to receive credit card payments for you. Please contact the college to find
out how.
2. Keep a student pay sheet in a record book detailing all payments: date paid,
what they were paid for. We have included a copy of a pay sheet you can
use.
3. Do the record sheet for payments sent to NLBC&S. Mail a copy with all
payments. We will give you a receipt of payments made.
4. Please make a note. As a policy for us and for the good of all our satellite
colleges, there will be no refunds made. Also, all fees must be paid up front.
There will be no credit given. This is a policy for the satellite colleges in
accepting payments from students, and for NLBC&S in accepting payments
from the satellite colleges.
5. Please understand that New Life Bible College and Seminary, New Life
Ministries, or any of its divisions will be held responsible for any debts
occurred by any satellite/extension college.
Graduation
1. NLBC&S will be responsible to determine how many credits that each
student will need to graduate determined by the credits they transfer and
the number of ministry experience credits issued.
14
2. All diplomas will be issued from NLBC&S sealed with the official seal of the
college. The diplomas will be issued in the name of NLBC&S, but it will also
include the name of the satellite college.
Accreditation
New Life Bible College and Seminary is accredited by New Life Christian Schools and
Colleges International.
Acceptance of Degree and Recognition of Credits Completed at New Life
It is very important that this statement be included in your catalog/prospectus.
The value of any college degree is subjective; depending upon many circumstances,
conditions and needs. Most universities, colleges, institutions, agencies, etc., have their
own specific criteria as to the recognition and acceptability of transferred credits.
Therefore, if a student is going to transfer credits they would need to direct their
questions to those institutions, or agencies as to the acceptance of credits. The college
makes no guarantee. Nor, does a degree from New Life guarantee a job or ordination in
any specific market or ministry. Although the program is accredited, this is not
considered “regional or state accreditation” and is specifically not suited for people
pursuing jobs as public school teachers, state professors, state licensed psychologists,
among other vocations. If you are taking courses to transfer them to other colleges, you
would need to check with them first before taking the courses. If your work place is
giving credit for degrees as placement, etc. then you will need to check with them if they
accept credits from NLBC&S as well.
Explanation of Accreditation
NLBC&S is accredited by New Life Christian Schools and Colleges International.
NLBC&S has over 50 colleges in over 20 different countries. All these are accredited
through New Life Christian Schools and Colleges International. Plus there are many
others who are accredited with this association.
NLCSCI is in no way associated with any association that has government approval or
sanction. We operate under a religious exempt status, because we only offer religious
degrees instead of secular ones. God led us many years ago to structure things this way.
As time goes on, the government control gets worse. In order to insure the freedom of
all colleges operating under our umbrella, we are not government involved in any way.
Since we are not, we have from time to time had certain church organizations, or certain
government agencies governing colleges in a country, who did not sanction our degrees.
Please ask NLBC&S for more information.
Transcripts
1. NLBC&S will be responsible for keeping all transcripts and issuing them upon
request to the students, future colleges, or businesses, etc.
2. NLBC&S will keep the transcripts permanently.
15
3. Students will receive one copy of transcripts free upon completing each degree.
Future copies will be issued for a $5.00 fee.
Advertisement
Please when you are advertising your school in newspapers, etc, or on the internet use
the following statement: (Your College Name) is an extension /satellite college of New
Life Bible College and Seminary, which is a division of New Life Church and Ministries.
Disclaimer
1. NLBC&S will not be responsible for any debts that are incurred by the satellite
colleges in any way. Satellite colleges are not given permission in any way to set
up charge accounts or any type of expenses account in the name of NLBC&S or
any other branch of New Life Church and Ministries. Satellite colleges will be
responsible for their own expenses.
2. I also understand that New Life Bible College and Seminary or New Life
Church and Ministries, or any other division of the ministry will not be legally held
responsible for any litigation, etc. occurred by the satellite/extension college
programs.

EXTENSION COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS
Extension Colleges Are Required to Complete The Following
For NLBC&S to Process Degrees and Transcripts
1. Extensions must have paid 10% of the income taken in by the college and completed
and returned the form for that. Please see us for acceptable methods of payments.
2. Each extension must have sent in all transcripts for students who have completed
degrees at other colleges previous to attending your college. If these aren’t turned
in that student WILL NOT be issued a degree or transcript. Copies of degrees are not
acceptable without the transcript.
16
3. Extensions must have completed the right transcript form and sent it in with all
information completed correctly. Please do not scan these and send them. Please
just fill these out and email them to us so that we can copy and paste your
information directly onto our forms. We do this to avoid mistakes. Please be sure
that all information on your transcript forms are correct, especially the spelling of
the names. The information we use is exactly the information that you send us.
4. Current catalog must be on file with NLBC&S.
5. All degrees and transcripts must be issued from NLBC&S only. None can be issued
from the extension. These are official only if they have our official seal on them, and
we have the only official seal.
6. All work must be turned in at least 4 weeks before graduation to be sure that we
have sufficient time to process your documents and return them by mail to you.
7. NLBC&S reserves the right to periodically spot check students’ work to be sure that
students are doing what is required, and that each extension college is operating as
required.
8. The extensions must remain in good standing with NLBC&S for us to process your
degrees and transcripts. All of these requirements must be kept current, or NLBC&S
can revoke your privilege of being an extension under our program.
9. If an extension stops having graduates for a given amount of time, if it stops being
active, then that college will no longer be able to keep its identity as an extension.
10. IMPORTANT NOTE: If your students who are active ministers wish to be ordained
or licensed with New Life, there is now a $50.00 charge per minister.
11. NOTE: NLBC&S DOES NOT INVITE OVERSEAS STUDENTS TO COME TO THE UNITED
STATES FOR ANY REASON. WE DO NOT ISSUE ANY TYPE OF ID’S ESPECIALLY
PICTURE ID’S. ANY ID’S ISSUED BY THE EXTENSION ARE NOT VALID WITHOUT OUR
SEAL, SO PLEASE DO NOT ISSUE PICTURE ID’S TO STUDENTS.
Notice About Inactive Colleges Policy
A college will be officially declared inactive if they have not gotten started in one year
from their registration with us, or if they have not enrolled any graduates with us for 2
years after the college’s registration. If they wish to continue after being declared
inactive, they must reapply. When they re-enroll in the program, it will be under a
probationary period with the understanding that they will only have 1 year from the date
of their new registration to have graduates.

Notice About Issuing Degrees
As a reminder, graduates must be through us to be able to receive legitimate
degrees. We are the only ones who can issue official degrees as we have the
official seal, so all degrees and transcripts must be issued through our main
office. If a college issues degrees or transcripts on their own as an extension of
New Life Bible College and Seminary, the extension which does so will be
reported to their country as issuing fraudulent degrees
