1. Students must scan into chapel with their iAttended app. In order to get credit, students must also scan out of chapel once it has ended using the live QR codes presented in the Chapel and Events Warehouse.

   • Students who attempt to falsify their chapel attendance or assist others in doing so will be subject to disciplinary actions.

2. Chapel scanning begins 15 minutes before the start of each Chapel service.

   1. We encourage all students to arrive early to ensure they make it in the doors on time to receive Chapel credit.

3. Chapel attendance will not be taken after 9:35 am at Morning Chapel and 8:05 pm at Evening Chapel.

   1. Students arriving more than five minutes late will not receive Chapel credit for that day, however, they are still welcome to attend the Chapel service.

1. Should a student need to step out of Chapel to use the restroom or take a brief important phone call, they must check out using their student ID with the attendance monitor at the Chapel entrance. The attendance monitor will return the ID when the student returns to Chapel.

   1. If a student abuses this freedom, they may have their Chapel credit taken away for that day.

   2. If a pattern of abuse emerges, the student will be subject to disciplinary actions.

2. Students leaving early from Chapel with plans to not return must check out with the Chapel monitor at the Chapel main entrance.

3. Students may only exit Chapel through the main entry and exit doors. Leaving through the fire exit doors is prohibited.

4. Students who attempt to leave Chapel without checking out with the Chapel monitor will lose their Chapel attendance credit for that day and be subject to disciplinary actions.

5. Students who attempt to falsify their Chapel attendance through any means (including sneaking out early, having another student scan their app on their behalf, etc.) will be subject to disciplinary actions. Cheating or lying to receive Chapel attendance credit will not be tolerated.

It is the responsibility of each student to track their own Chapel credits via their iAttended app to ensure they meet the requirement each semester. We recommend checking your Chapel attendance on a weekly basis at minimum.

If for any reason, you have a Chapel credit missing, please fill out the Missing Chapel Credit Form here.

• Students will have two weeks after a Chapel date to notify Campus Ministries of a Chapel credit missing.

• If the student does not notify Campus Ministries within two weeks of the given Chapel date, credit will not be given.

• Because there are more than enough Chapel opportunities provided, students will not be excused from Chapels due to sickness, vacation, or other unforeseen absences and should plan their semester accordingly.

• Students who foresee that attending 20 Chapels in person in the course of a semester may be impossible due to life/work obligations may file a Chapel Petition within the first two weeks of the semester to request an alternate Chapel pathway. Please see the petition for more details.

• If you have unique needs or challenges that may impact your Chapel attendance, we would be glad to meet with you to talk about how we can support you. Simply contact campusministries@jessup.edu.

We encourage all students, especially graduating seniors, to make Chapel attendance a priority as they finish their journey at Jessup. We hope to see all students engage in Chapel until the very end of their time at Jessup as it is a vital part of our spiritual formation investment in their life, especially as they launch out from Jessup to thrive as a transformational leader for Christ in the world.

All students, including graduating seniors, will be subject to Chapel non-compliance sanctions if they fail to meet their Chapel requirement in any given semester.

If a graduating senior has legitimate work, internship, or home responsibilities that may interfere with their ability to attend at least 20 Chapels, they may submit a Chapel Petition within the first two weeks of the semester and Campus Ministries staff will consider whether a reduction/exemption of Chapel requirements is appropriate. Attempts to petition out of Chapel for convenience alone will not be approved.

Students will be considered Chapel non-compliant if they did not fulfill their chapel requirement during the semester.
