These extension programs are offered by TOI
under regulations, set by the faculty and administration, equaling the
quality and comprehensiveness of the programs in Orlando.
All extension degree programs require classes under resident school faculty.
The Orlando Institute has opened academic and
ministry leadership training programs to serve the needs of various ethnic and social
groups in the United States. As part of the
Campus Crusade for Christ family of ministries, we have seen God bless and lead us for 50
years.
At present we have an equipping
relationship with churches and pastors in the United States, using our expertise to assist
them in doing leadership training with their people.
To facilitate this we have developed the following plans and relationships.
1.
Relationships with local churches and groups of churches to offer two certificates
and the Master in Christian Ministry programs on their church campuses as a distance
education site of The Orlando Institute (TOI).
2.
Course work and credit hours will be assigned in accordance with the TOI catalogue
[the latest version is on the web site www.toi.edu].
The admissions procedure will likewise conform to TOI catalogue specifications.
Note that students are not official degree students when they begin taking classes. They
must be admitted to a program through the residence school.
3.
Lecturers/Professors in the sites must receive the initial approval of the Director
of the Extension Program, as well as the final approval of the TOI President each academic
year. There is an administrative officer and an academic officer at each site. They report
to the TOI President.
4.
All tuition and expenses will be handled under TOI policy and all funds are managed
through the main campus.
5.
All advertising, academic curriculum offerings, appointment of faculty, and
approval of graduate degree students must receive the approval of the TOI
administration.
6.
The site is encouraged to set up an advisory board of 5-10 members, to help with
local issues, contacts and fund raising.
7.
If the terms of agreement are not kept by the site, TOI reserves the right to
replace any person necessary or to terminate that extension program.
