Student Council
The SFBC Student Council enjoys a reputation as a concerned and effective group of student leaders committed to enhancing the quality of campus life. Council members formulate proposals to change policies governing student life, gain valuable experience working with a constitutional organization, and sponsor significant services and programs each year.
Organizations/Clubs
Students are encouraged to form special clubs around particular interests. Normally, these organizations are requested by students and function with the advisement of a faculty or staff sponsor.
Social Life
SFBC students have the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of recreational, entertainment, and sightseeing activities. South Florida abounds with famous tourist attractions and natural beauty that make this area the numbers one vacation destination.
The area offers numerous cultural opportunities including art galleries, parks, museums, and professional sporting events. Swimming, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, diving, and boating are great leisure activities available to those who live in the area surrounding SFBC.
Students at SFBC develop strong relationships with college staff and faculty. Employees of the college make themselves available in a wide array of Student Life activities.
Medical Information
The College is committed to making every reasonable effort to provide students with a healthy learning and living environment. The college community has access to emergency and general medical physicians in close proximity to the campus. The Student Life Office has personnel that are available to assist in directing students toward medical care and to provide transportation if necessary.
South Florida Bible College is a community of students, faculty, staff, and administration who are joined together for the purposes of academic enrichment, personal development, spiritual growth, and preparation for Christian ministry. Relationships and responsibilities in this community are built upon:
- The teachings and principles of the inerrant and authoritative Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16,17),
- The personal accountability of each member to a loving and sovereign God (1 Peter 1:17), and
- The inner resources and attributes of the Holy Spirit to guide and minister to each other in all relationships (John 16:13,14).
Members of the South Florida Bible College community should seek first and foremost to achieve the goal of 1 Corinthians 10:31, “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” All activities and relationships should seek to accomplish this ultimate objective.
Emergency transportation will be provided through Emergency 911.
Counseling Services
Students encountering personal difficulties are encouraged to talk with someone who is qualified to help. Confidential short-term counseling is available from Student Life staff and faculty. Counseling interns are also available for longer-term counseling. Notices on the bulletin boards give you information on how to contact these people directly regarding:
- Referrals to local Christian counselors or groups
- Career Services
Hurricane Advisory
The safety of our students, faculty, and staff is always a top priority. If a tropical storm or hurricane approaches our service area, SFBC will share important information through a variety of communication platforms, including email, telephone, text messaging, social media, and updates to the Populi Dashboard. The National Hurricane Center’s website is also a great place to get information.
Grievances
SFBC&TS’ business and student operations are designed to be administered in an atmosphere of collegiate congeniality. Civility, respect, the Golden Rule, and Christian attitudes and actions are expected of all faculty, staff, and students. Whenever a situation occurs that results in a student or faculty member feeling that he/she has been slighted, harassed, or abused—intentionally or unintentionally— the student or faculty member has a right to formally submit a grievance to the College or Seminary. SFBC&TS will not tolerate such behavior and will always act to rectify the situation. In order for SFBC&TS to officially respond, the student or faculty member must submit a Grievance Form. Detailed “Grievance” policies and procedures can be found here.
Out-of-State Distance Education students, who have completed the internal institutional grievance process and the applicable state grievance process, may appeal non‐Instructional complaints to the FL‐SARA PRDEC Council. For additional information on the complaint process, please visit the FL‐SARA Complaint Process page
