Chapel is required for every semester a student is enrolled in the traditional undergraduate program full time (12 units or more). Some exemptions by petition include student teaching, study abroad semesters, etc. Chapel credit is attained by missing no more than 6 of the regular chapels in a given semester (or earning 23 total credits). Additional evening chapels are now available twice a month to offer students more options for chapel attendance. Students who fail to get credit will be dismissed from the university and will be required to petition with the Dean of Students for possible reentry.
If you enrolled before Fall 08:Students are required to have chapel credit for three quarters (¾) of the time they are enrolled full-time in the traditional undergraduate program at William Jessup University. Students who fail to meet the proper requirements will not be eligible for graduation. The following is a chart showing the requirement breakdown based on how many semesters one attends:
