September 6, 2005- Brewer Christian College and Graduate School continually strives to provide the greatest online educational experience possible. With the continual growth of our college student body and faculty we are excited to announce the beginning of "The Virtual Semester". Although Brewer students are always encouraged to work at their own pace and at the times of the day and week that are convenient to them, we are implementing a simple plan that will provide each student with more interaction and an even greater focus of our incredible faculty and staff.

FAQ's:

How does it work?

• The new system will provide a virtual Spring, Summer and Fall semester allowing each student to interact with classmates who are taking similar course-work.
• Each student will be assigned two classes per semester, although you may take up to four if you feel that you have the time and resources.
• Students will be required to "attend" weekly online chapel services (at their convenience of course) and respond to the message online through our message boards.

Will this limit the times when I can enroll as a student?

• Absolutely not! You will begin online orientation (one credit hour) plus your first course(s) as soon as you enroll. When the new semester begins you will be locked into a tract with other students who are also serving the Lord in ministry like yourself. If you enroll close to the beginning of a semester (within a month or so) you may simply choose to take the online orientation work and join in with your first course when the semester begins.

What if I come in right after the semester starts?

• If you enroll within two weeks from the start date of any semester you may join in with the students who are already enrolled in the course. If you join later than that and fulfill certain requirements, you may also be entered into the semester program that is already in progress.

What benefit does this provide me as a student?

• Working together, praying together, believing together, these are the qualities that exemplify the Body of Christ. Students will be able to build relationships that will last a lifetime with other students of similar values and interests. Our hope is that the relationships that you make will become resources for your ministry.
• Faculty will be able to provide the answers via our message boards to each student's questions to the entire class. You may not even know you wanted to know the answer to a given question until you see it before you.
• You will be able to plan your "free" times around the school's schedule. You will know when you have down time (if you want it) and when you need more time in your schedule to study.
• Considering all the benefits of corporate worship and study, we could write an e-book!

Will I be able to keep taking courses during the "off" weeks?

• Although we highly recommend you take a little time off three times a year, you are certainly welcome to take additional courses during this time.

When will the new calendar be implemented?

The virtual semester calendar begins January 9th, 2006. The 2007-2009 calendar is as follows:
