As a Christian, I believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired and inerrant Word of God. I accept its teachings as the final authority in all matters of faith and life; and as a student at Shasta Bible College, I will maintain the moral and spiritual ideals of the College, render respect to members of its faculty, conform to its social, academic and spiritual requirements, and recognize my responsibility to live an exemplary Christian life in keeping with the admonitions of Scripture (see 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1; Rom. 12:1-2; 1 Thess. 4:1-8; Gal. 5:16-26; Eph. 5:18; Col. 3:17; Rom. 13:14).
In the interest of promoting a sharp campus image modesty and cleanliness in dress and appearance is expected at all times. (1 Thess. 5:21-22; I Cor. 8: 9-13). Shasta Bible College trains men and women from all walks of life and from various cultures. The guidelines for dress are intended to reflect a Christ honoring outward appearance. The standard for dress helps to create a professional atmosphere conducive to the goals of the college. While taste and opinion may vary in this area, respecting the rules and those who enforce them is a heart issue relating to obedience verses rebellion.
