Okanagan Bible College

Admission to all degree programs is open to men and women who hold a high school diploma or its equivalent from a recognized school, and who also demonstrate evidence of being born again, are yielded to the will of God, and are endowed with the necessary spiritual gifts.

Applicants are considered without regard to gender, national origin, or handicap. However, the school reserves the right to refuse admission to any individual who does not profess a belief or desire to believe in the Christian Faith.

In requiring a high school diploma for undergraduate work, the school recognizes the importance of a broad education as a foundation for specialized theological study. Adequate attention should be devoted to English grammar and composition, literature, speech, logic, and history, whether undergraduate or graduate.

Application Procedure

Applicants for all courses of study must submit an application provided by the school, to the Registrar. In addition, the following are also required:

• Official transcripts - Final approval for admission is contingent upon receiving official transcripts, if applicable, from all colleges and universities attended that show conferral of qualifying degrees.
• References from three (3) individuals - These should include, when possible, the applicant's pastor, a teacher, and a professional or business-related individual. Reference forms, included with the application materials, are to be distributed by the applicant.
• Ecclesiastical reference - This must be a letter from the official board of the church of which the applicant is a member, stating that he or she is in good standing and full fellowship, and is endorsed by them as a potential candidate for a service in the ministry.
• A non-refundable fee of $100.00 must accompany the applications. This fee is applied to tuition when the student enrolls.

Applicants are evaluated on the basis of their college academic record, the extent and quality of their involvement in Christian service, their apparent gifts and promise for Christian ministry, and their references. Applications are evaluated when all required information is received by the Registrar.
