CST Recognition
The Caribbean School of Theology seeks to maintain high academic standards. Strict guidelines are followed regarding faculty, text and study materials, syllabi, credit-hours and level of studies. CST, through an educational agreement with Global University (Springfield, Missouri, U.S. A.) offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible and Theology that is recognized by both Global University and other Christian institutions of higher education.
Academic recognition is based on our affiliation with Global University, which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Chicago, Illinois, and by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council, Washington, D.C.

A grade point is a numerical value assigned to a letter grade for the purpose of computing the grade point average.
Incomplete grades: Students are expected to complete all course work as specified by the instructor by the end of a seminar. An incomplete may be given at the option of the instructor with approval from CST administration and only under extenuating circumstances. If an incomplete is issued, the course work must be completed by the date agreed upon by the CST administration, instructor and student. An automatic grade of failure will be issued if the work is not submitted.
