INTRODUCTION:
When considering attending Pensacola Christian College, it is important to know that they have rules. Rules. Rules. Rules. They have rules to govern every area of your life. Just like the Bible, only more. Evidently, the Bible did not cover some areas, so the School Administrators have picked up the slack.
This list is a work in progress, and it is intended to supplement (supplant?) the Student Handbook. It will never be complete, as PCC adds rules at the rate of about two or three a week. Some obscure or old rules go unenforced, while others may be enforced sporadically. It is evidently up to the student to intrepret which rules the school actually cares about; however, in our college experience, a rule was never repealed during the school year.
While attending PCC, the number one measurement of your spiritual condition will be how well you obey the rules, and secondly, how much you turn in others who don't obey the rules.
Pensacola Christian College has developed an elaborate bureaucracy for dealing with all offenses, which has absolutely no Biblical precedent. Whereas God, in His infinite wisdom, created a system where sin had natural consequences, PCC prefers the more immediate system of demerits, socialling, and campusing. This is probably just as well, for their sake, as most of the rules are not sin. This brings up another issue - that of "spending demerits."
Under God's law, sin is sin, and even the tiniest of them sent Christ to the cross. At PCC, this distinction is blurred, as some offenses are considered sin (e.g. listening to "pop" music), while others (e.g. failing to clean your mirror during room check) are not. Also, in specific cases of obtaining a weekend pass where you will miss a required activity, the school allows it and simply gives you 10 or 25 demerits in advance, much like a business transaction. This certainly could not be sin. Therefore, the question of whether it is allowable (i.e. not actual sin) to "spend demerits," (to willfully disobey a rule with the expectation of receiving the demerits due) is raised. The school allows it in some cases, doesn't care in others, and denounces it generally. As a student at PCC, you will have to discern individually which rules the administration believes should never be broken, and which are okay to break if you are willing to accept the demerits. Obviously, this is an awkward situation, but the school has found it to be "reasonable," and we would like to assume they have actually thought it through.
Types of Punishment:
Demerits. The basic unit of punishment. Acquiring a demerit MAY be wrong (i.e. sin) or it might not be, as explained above. Accumulation of 75, 100, or 125 of these will result in "campusing." 150 will result in possible expulsion at PCC's discretion.
Campusing. The student is, in effect, "grounded," for a period of time, usually no shorter than a week. This means he may not leave campus except for preapproved reasons such as work. He will also be required to turn in the keys to any car registered to him.
He also must sign a statement saying he will have no communication (verbal or not) with another campused student. If a person in his room is already campused, he is required to change rooms, and will not change back after the campusing ends.
Socialling. While socialled, a student may have no communication with another student of the opposite sex except in in classroom or preapproved situations.
Expulsion. This is removal from the school. Usually the student is forced to "withdraw." All cases are under the discretion of the administration. It must be noted a student may be expelled at any time for any reason. It need not have anything to do with accumulation of demerits, an explicit act, or wrongdoing of any type. Lest you think otherwise, people from freshman to seniors are kicked-out each year without ever being given a specific reason.
Shadowing. Though not a specific punishment, it often accompanies the above disciplines. Shadowing is when a student is made to accompany a floor-leader or other PCC staff member 24 hours a day. He will sleep in the floor-leaders room, attend his classes (or sit in the dean's office) and eat all meals with him. The student is allowed no interaction with any other student, with limited access to those outside the school (e.g. parents). The student is shadowed from the time he has been accused or suspected of a "serious" infraction until he is exonerated or punished. There is an implied "presumption of guilt." Any student is vulnerable to having his life severely interrupted, possibly suffering exceptional emotional and spiritual distress as he is isolated, pressured, and scared, being made to feel guilty even when there is no reason.
It has been suggested that the rationale for this practice is to keep down rumors and "protect" the student body from this corrupt student. This is terrible justification and further illustrates how the administration does not want or does not believe its student body can think for themselves.
There is no mention of the shadowing policy in any material made available to the students or their parents.
The Student Voice finds PCC's policy of shadowing to be completely immoral. It has been reported to us than the school claims that shadowing does not happen very often. This is a lie. Shadowing goes on weekly and probably daily. This policy must end, and we encourage all concerned parties to express there disgust to the PCC administration
Much could be said of treating Christian adults this way. Obviously, it is not the way Christ thought most effective, and so much of it is actually counter-productive in instilling an actual heart change. It is so difficult for the school to trust the often slow work of the Holy Spirit, to bring conviction and repentance, and to conform His children to Christ, that PCC much prefers this more base and immediate system of correction.
THE RULES.
No demerit amount is listed for the infractions since the school basically gives you as many demerits as they want for whatever the infraction, perhaps tacking on "improper procedure" or some such nebulous infraction.
Any rules enclosed in quotation marks are taken verbatim from an official PCC proclamation (usually a hall meeting announcement).
DRESS CODE:
While the Student Handbook states that it does not want its students to feel the need for an expensive wardrobe, it goes on to require such an array of clothing that invariably any new student must go spend hundreds of dollars for clothes to fit its "standards."
Announced Spring semester, 1997, the administration has instated more progressive dress code rules. This is evidentally to combat their ignorant interpretation of "the grunge look." Pants are not allowed to be "too" baggy. Shoe syles are more restrictive, and fashions and patterns will fall under the discretion of the school.
MEN.
Pants may not be "pegged" or have any pockets on the legs.
Pants may not be "frayed" at the bottom.
No jeans, or double-stitched pants.
Shirts must be tucked in at all times.
Men may not wear a necklace.
Hats may only be worn outdoors, but NOT at outdoor sporting events.
You must wear a belt at all times.
You must wear "dress" shoes except when involved in athletic activity.
You must wear a collared shirt except when involved in athletic activity.
No apparel with other colleges or high-schools is allowed.
T-shirts must be blank or be an official PCC T-shirt.
You may not shave your head (Caucasian students only; it is unclear how this is to be interpreted for Asian-Americans/Indian-Americans. All we can suggest is to consult your floorleader). Violation will result in being sent home for two weeks (your expense).
"Shelf Cuts," hair touching the ears, sideburns past the middle of the ear, bangs over the eyes, and hair touching the collar are not allowed.
No blue-jean (denim) shirts or jackets.
No "dressing down" - that is, intentionally mismatching clothes.
Clothing may not have advertising or large logos on it.
You must wear socks.
Except for collegian sports, men must wear "dress sweats" for any athletic activity where women are present.

However, you must wait until the floorleader crosses the threshold before actually beginning to "crawl" back under the covers).
On weekdays, there are "quiet hours," during which you may not talk in the hall, close doors loudly, or sing in the shower.
After bed-time ("lights out:" 11:00 every day, including weekends) you may receive demerits for talking, taking your contacts out, having your feet on the floor (or possibly suspended a few inches from the floor), being in the bathroom, or basically doing anything but lying in bed.

A student must "scan out" at the campus computers, notifying the school of exactly where he intends to go off-campus.

Siblings of the opposite sex should not interact in unchaperoned areas to abstain from the "appearance of evil."
"It is proper, although not required, for a young man to give a corsage to his date and for a young lady to give a boutonniere. It is not appropriate for plants, fruit, stuffed animals, and other such items to be brought to Fine Arts programs."

that is horrible.
fixed
just to play devils advocate..
you find these rules strange and ridiculous as you compare them to what is considered ok in modern society.. we live in a society that revolves around being a degenerate.. MOST people i know who went to college really f**ked up the first couple years due to the excess that exists there.. while i DO find most of the rules listed there as being ridiculous.. i WILL say this.. when you are going to school with the intention of success, it is easy to fail when you are blinded by all the things that are present at your average college environment.. MOST schools revolve around partying, drinking, f**king, etc.. and while these ARE all parts of growing up.. they are not really conducive to LEARNING.... a family who elects to send there child to this type of school is doing so because of a strong faith base they have, and obviously want the best environment for their specific lifestyle.. lastly.. the rule about leaving.. im not sure if you watch the news.. but in our area at least.. there are many colleges that are not exactly in the best areas.. and unfortunately MANY students (girls especially) have become victims of violence.. KNOWING where they are going.. ONLY going in groups.. helps keep them a little more safe.. again im not saying i agree personally with all the rules.. im simply saying that rules like these will keep students more focused on actually learning, AND probably keep them a little more safe..

You may not shave your head (Caucasian students only; it is unclear how this is to be interpreted for Asian-Americans/Indian-Americans. All we can suggest is to consult your floorleader). Violation will result in being sent home for two weeks (your expense).
No blue-jean (denim) shirts or jackets.
No two-piece swimming suits (although, this is a bit irrelevant since a male should never see you swimming).
You may not wipe "boogers" on the wall. This is being cracked down on.
No "Squealing" tires.
..well damn, count me out
