Chapel Participation

Baptist University of Florida offers a variety of activities and events that are intended to enhance a student’s university experience. Based on our Christian worldview, one of the activities we offer is chapel, a worship experience that usually includes worship music and biblical preaching. Chapel meets on Tuesday and Wednesday each week of the fall and spring semesters.

Residential Students: Because of the value we place on the chapel experience, we require each residential student on our Graceville campus to attend all chapel services in person, allowing for three services to be viewed online. Once a student attends or views Chapel, he/she will go to Canvas to give a report for the work.

Online and Commuter Students: Online and Commuter degree-seeking students on all our campuses are required to attend chapel at least twelve times over the course of each semester. Available options for students include live/in-person chapel on campus, live-streamed chapel services, and recorded services provided on the university’s website. Students are encouraged to attend/participate in one of the live options if possible but to participate in the recorded versions if necessary.

Once a student attends chapel, he/she will go to Canvas to give a report for the work. If a student does not attend the required number of services, he/she will receive a grade of “F” for that respective semester in the chapel attendance module. This grade will not affect a student’s overall GPA since it is a zero-credit course. However, it will appear on the student’s transcript.
