4.2 FE credit is required of all students. Graduation requirements include 1 credit hour per semester for full-time students.

4.3 Part-time students are to acquire the equivalent number of credits but may not necessarily report for every semester since they take a longer time to complete their respective diploma/degree programs.

5 WHAT IS EXPECTED OF STUDENT

5.4 Students are required to obtain their pastors/ church leaders? written approval (on Form B) if their FE assignments are not at their own church. This is to ensure that the students' FE responsibility is known to their pastors/ church leaders and has their blessing. Anglican students are encouraged to carry out their FE assignments in Anglican churches, as required by the Bishop. Posting assistance will be provided, especially for foreign students.

5.5 Changes in supervisor's particulars should be advised immediately to the FE Director (on Form A). This will facilitate the FE Director’s communication with the supervisors, to confirm, appreciate and inform them of their responsibilities (on Form D).

5.6 All students are required to meet the FE Director or Director's nominee at least once monthly for at least 10 minutes by prior appointment either individually for personal interaction or as a class, to discuss the assignments, highlights, pressures and problems. There would be a minimum of 3 meetings per semester. Personal appointments should be made by the students by filling in the allotted time slots posted on the FE notice board. Group meetings would be announced and posted on the FE notice board. Absenteeism will result in downgrading.

5.7 Every student is expected to account for an average of 4 hours weekly during the semester, and submit a monthly report of activities accomplished in the learning situation (on Form C). He/she should bring along the current month’s Form C to that month’s meeting with the FE Director. The completed Form C should be handed in by the last day of the month, or (if the last day is a Sunday) by the first Tuesday of the following month. The student should check that his/her Form C is thoroughly completed. Form C is required to be submitted for the months of August, September and October in Semester I and January, February and March in Semester II.

5.8 The students may invite the FE Director (or nominee) to visit them on-site, if feasible. On a personal basis, the FE Director is available to counsel or help students with problems in their respective assignments or relationships with supervisors.

5.9 All graduating students will round off their final semester with a Graduation Exercise on Form E by mid-April. Each graduating student will meet the FE Director for the last FE appointment after having completed Form E.
