ADMISSIONS
The Next Bible Institute is an answered prayer for many Christians. Anyone who desires a greater knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, who seeks to further his education, and prepare for more effective Christian service can benefit as a TNBI student.
​
Admission Policies & Procedures
All students must be Bible-believing Christians and have demonstrated a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our program requires 22 courses for a student to receive a Ministry License. Most students will complete the program within 12-13 months.
All applicants are considered without regard to sex, race, handicap, or national origin.
​
Statement of Faith/Commitment to Personal Holiness
We believe in the Bible as the Divinely-inspired Word of God. The Holy Scriptures are the revelation of His mind and will to man. The Bible is our infallible, all-sufficient guide for salvation and for the Christian life.
We believe in one God, the Creator of all, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is true God and true man begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and He had a perfect and sinless humanity.
We believe in the depravity of the nature of man through his fall in the Garden of Eden, and the absolute inability of man to save himself from eternal punishment by his own works.
We Believe in the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary, through which sacrifice Christ has affected complete and eternal redemption. The maturing of the believer is the unveiling of His finished work. God set His approval on the work of Christ by raising Him from among the dead and enthroning Him at His own right hand in Heaven. He is the Head of the Church, the Lord of the individual, the High Priest over the House of God, and Advocate in the family of God.
We believe in the literal return of Christ to this earth for His Church to establish His Kingdom.
TNBI is non-denominational. We are committed to providing a Bible-based education without denominational bias.

Statement of Understanding
I understand that The Next Bible Institute is a religious school. Credits are not guaranteed to be accepted by secular or state-run programs.

Makeup Classes
Classes are 6 weeks in duration and are held once a week for one-hour sessions. Students are permitted to miss two class sessions and still be eligible to complete the course.

-
Mailed Check/Money Order – Checks and money orders (with student ID included) can be mailed to the address below. Please allow sufficient time for the checks to be received before the due date
-
Cashier’s Office – Cash and check payments can be made in person
​
​Mailed Payments
-
To avoid cancellation of registration or a $100.00 Late Payment Fee, all fee payments must be postmarked by the U.S. Post Office (not office metered) by the applicable fee payment deadline.
-
Returned Registration Checks
A student’s current registration is subject to cancellation if the check presented in payment of those fees is returned unpaid. Dishonored fee payment checks must be redeemed within 10 calendar days to avoid cancellation of a student’s current registration. A $100.00 Late Payment Fee and a $25.00 administrative charge will be assessed on any registration check returned unpaid to TNBI.
​
Payment of Account Due to TNBI
Charges against students for fines and other charges are due immediately. Delinquent accounts may be considered sufficient cause for cancellation of registration. TNBI regulations prohibit registration and the release of transcripts and diplomas for any student whose account with TNBI is delinquent. Delinquent accounts may be turned over to a collection agency and all collection fees including legal fees will be added to the student account balance.
Past Due Accounts
TNBI will cancel the registration of a student whose registration fees have not been paid in full by the deadline. This means that a student will receive no credit for any courses taken during that term.
​
Cancelation Before First Class Day
Students who do not drop a class before the term begins may only cancel their registration by notifying the Office of the Registrar in writing prior to the first day of classes. If fees have already been paid, the student may request a full refund of fees from the Cashier’s Office.
​
​
Tuition
Tuition is due by the fifth day of each term. The student is responsible for paying fees in full by the appropriate due date as stated above. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the student’s registration. Checks are payable to The Next Bible Institute and Worship Center. To avoid a $100.00 late payment fee, all tuition fees must be paid or postmarked by the U.S. Post Office by the fifth day of the term. TNBI is not responsible for lost or misdirected U.S. Mail.
A student whose registration has been canceled may request registration reinstatement through the fourth week of class for the academic term.

Both a Late Payment Fee and a Late Registration Fee are charged to students who are dropped for non-payment.

-
All non-degree-seeking students who have not registered for any courses by the end of the first week of classes will be automatically assessed a $100.00 late registration fee.

​
Cancellation for Non-Payment of Fees
Students not on an authorized deferred payment of fees and who have not paid their tuition and fees in full by the applicable bill due date will have their registration for that term canceled. This means that a student will receive no credit for any courses taken during that term.
