REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
Student ministry is a requirement for graduation. Students must successfully complete a minimum of four semesters of student ministry, (five semesters for all Bible and Theology majors) for the Bachelor’s degree. Students must successfully complete a minimum of two semesters of student ministry for the Associate of Arts degree. Transfer students must successfully complete one student ministry for each semester enrolled, with a maximum of four student ministries for a Bachelor’s degree (five semesters for all Bible and Theology majors) and two student ministries for an Associate of Arts degree. Each school has the option of requiring a minimum of six semesters of student ministry. Students must meet these requirements to receive permission to participate in commencement or receive a diploma.

The college requires new and transfer students that matriculate at TFC for the first time in fall 2002 or later to complete an evangelism student ministry as one of the student ministries required for graduation. The experience must have significant and intentional engagement with unsaved individuals, with the expectation of personally sharing Christ with them, to count as an evangelistic student ministry. These ministries are marked in the listing below.

TRANSCRIPTS AND RECORD RETENTION
The Office of Student Ministry maintains official transcripts. Transcripts record all of the ministries students have attempted and completed. Students may request a copy of their transcript at any time. The Office of Student Ministry transfers student ministry transcripts to the Registrar’s Office permanent files after students leave the college. The Office of Student Ministry retains student files for four years.
