Presenting CFNI
Jesus gave His disciples concentrated and practical training for evangelism. They went out and changed the world! This biblical concept is the basis of Christ For The Nations Institute, a Bible school where Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, is still preparing disciples to change the world. Christ For The Nations Inc. was founded as a missionary enterprise in 1948; the institute was established in 1970. The emphasis of the school is rightfully placed upon evangelism, thus obeying Christ's Great Commission. Many practical ministry tools are used and taught at CFNI to reach all ages, all strata of society and all ethnic groups. CFNI is more than a Bible school; it is a spiritual experience and an incomparable door of ministry opportunity.

About the Cover
The Dallas skyline forms a striking backdrop against the multifaceted training programs offered at Christ For The Nations Institute. On CFNI's 75-acre campus is a caring community which provides for personal growth and academic excellence. The institute has become a launching pad from which more than 26,000 students have been trained in the Word and empowered by the Spirit to reach their world of influence.

About Dallas
The Dallas/Ft. Worth area is a cosmopolitan center with 4.6 million people. At the center of a major highway hub and serviced by one of America's leading air service centers — less than three hours from either coast — Dallas is a gateway to the historic Southwest and the fascinations of Mexico. Home of the world's largest wholesale merchandise complex, it is a major world marketing center. It is also a major religious center and the home of many national ministry headquarters.

About Christ For The Nations Institute's Campus
The Christ For The Nations campus is located seven minutes south of downtown Dallas, Texas, between R.L. Thornton Frwy. (I-35E) and Marvin D. Love Frwy. (Hwy. 67) freeways. The Institute Building is located at 3315 Conway Street, near the corner of Conway and Kiest Blvd. The Admissions and the Registration Offices are located in the Student Center, one block south of the Institute Building at 444 Fawn Ridge Drive. Phone: (214) 376-1711.

The purpose of this school is to teach students to love and serve God, to develop a consistent prayer life, and to learn His Word, thereby assisting them in finding their place in His unique plan. Many who attend CFNI come to prepare themselves for full-time ministry — preaching, teaching, music, child evangelism, youth work or missionary endeavors. Others attend in order to develop greater effectiveness as a witness for Christ in the marketplace. It is our goal to equip individuals for the work of the ministry — wherever the Lord may guide them.

Each faculty member has been prayerfully chosen, not only for his or her teaching ability, but also for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Thus, the Word goes forth from the lips of anointed teachers who encourage the gifts and fruit of the Spirit to function freely and in balance, both in and out of the classroom.

CFNI's wide curriculum provides an expanse of opportunities for the student. All subjects are carefully selected and offered to prepare the individual for their destiny in the Kingdom.

CFNI is one big family. Most of the faculty and staff live on our campus in close proximity to the students. The faculty not only teach the students in the classroom, but interact with them in social events, sports, etc.

Age or nationality is not a factor in the student's learning experience. About one-third of the students are single men, another third are single women, and the final third are married. International students number about 15% of the enrollment, so students have the opportunity to fellowship with believers from many countries.

We invite you to be a part of our CFNI family, which has always extended open arms and a helping hand to believers from around the world — those with a burning desire to know God and His Word intimately and to share the Good News with people everywhere.

In His service,
Dennis Lindsay, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO

The President
President Dennis Lindsay, son of Gordon and Freda Lindsay, maintains a close relationship with the students and academic staff at CFNI. He was a full-time instructor of apologetics and practics at the institute for 12 years before assuming the full weight of his current administrative responsibilities. Today, he continues as an instructor at the Institute to maintain personal rapport with the student body. President Lindsay received a B.A. in Bible from Southern California College and has done graduate work at L'Abri, Institute of Evangelism and University of the Nations. He has traveled extensively in missions endeavors, and is particularly qualified for his present leadership role by a lifetime of consistent service to Christ within the multifaceted ministries of Christ For The Nations.

Christ For The Nations — A Long History in World Missions
In 1948, Gordon and Freda Lindsay founded Christ For The Nations, a interdenominational missionary organization. Since its inception, this ministry has continually grown and to date has reached into 120 nations — teaching the Word of God through Bible institutes, publishing books in 77 languages, aiding in worldwide relief projects, and assisting native congregations to complete their church buildings. The emphasis of the organization is to obey Christ's Great Commission.

CFNI is more than just a Bible school; it's a spiritual experience! Since the Dallas' school's founding, over 26,000 students of all ages and backgrounds, from every state in the U.S. and 45 nations, have been prepared to minister the Gospel. CFNI presently has eight associate schools and has helped establish many others.

· People who have a calling to the ministry — missions, evangelism, music, youth, children, pastoral, prophetic or teaching.

· Believers from the marketplace who wish to receive a basic foundation in the Christian faith.

· Christians desiring spiritual growth as well as practical, hands-on training.

· Middle-aged or older Christians who are seeking greater fulfillment in their lives.

· Believers who feel a lack of spiritual balance in their lives and realize their need for development of the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, discipline or stability.

· Young people who have already received their formal schooling, yet need a deeper knowledge of the Scriptures.

· Anyone 17 years or older who is committed to Jesus and has a desire to learn about the importance and uniqueness of each Person of the Trinity and a willingness to be led of the Spirit. (Special provisions may be made for selected high-school-aged students to attend during the summer term.)

The CFNI Concept of Spiritual Training
Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through the prophets ... telling them little by little about His plans. (Heb. 1:1 LB)

God's ultimate Word is Jesus Christ. Yet the Spirit uses different ways at different times to reveal Him. Men and women of God have often moved cities and whole countries to revival, not by eloquent preaching, but by demonstration of the Spirit and power. The miraculous working of God on earth is vital to world evangelization. Organizational methods or styles may change, but yieldedness in the lives of believers is always necessary.

Christ For The Nations Institute is a place of learning in which the emphasis is more upon the ways of the Spirit than upon techniques. The institute offers an environment of Christian love in which disciples of the Lord Jesus can live, learn and grow together. The vision of its founder, Gordon Lindsay, is being wonderfully blessed by the Lord. More than 26,000 have been led to come and study at this school, where one of the most important subjects is the student's own spiritual life, which results in richer and more productive ministry to others.

We believe Christ For The Nations Institute has been brought into existence because the Holy Spirit wants to work through yielded people everywhere, not just through professionally trained ministers.

The training program at CFNI blends the spiritual and the practical in a most effective manner:

· Brief, concentrated courses of study in the Bible by anointed and qualified faculty — so students will become grounded in truth.

· Encouragement of prayer and yieldedness — so students can learn directly from the Holy Spirit and experience His marvelous gifts.

·Participation in vibrant praise and worship — so students will experience restoration and refreshing in the presence of God.

· Unparalleled opportunity to learn from and observe various types and methods of ministry from guest teachers from many parts of the world — so students can see that God can use them to reach their sphere of influence with the power of the Gospel.

· Practical, hands-on training through weekly metroplex ministry and yearly faculty-led international outreaches (optional) — so students will learn through experience and can apply what is being taught.

· Specialized training programs for ministry: pastoral, youth, missions and music.

Students will find the greatest treasures of life at CFNI: a passion for God, practical wisdom from His Word, and His vision for their future.

Since most of them arrive at CFNI fresh from field ministry, they not only build faith through the impartation of their knowledge and experience, they provide practical examples of effective ministry. Miracles of healing, guidance and revelation are often experienced under these Spirit-filled leaders.

1. The One True God.
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent I Am, the Creator of the universe and the Redeemer of mankind (Deut. 6:4; Ex. 3:14; Isa. 43:10,11). God has further revealed Himself as a triune Being, manifested as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Isa. 48:16; Matt. 28:19; Lk. 3:22).

2. The Scriptures Inspired.
The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man; they are the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (II Tim. 3:15-17; I Thes. 2:13; II Pet. 1:21).

3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and as such shares in the divinity and deity of God (Matt. 1:23; Jn. 5:22,23; II Jn. 3; Heb. 1:1-13).

4. Original Sin and the Fall of Man.
Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness” (Gen. 1:26). The first man, Adam, through disobedience fell from the grace of God; therefore, sin and death entered into the world. Adam's transgression incurred not only physical death for man but also spiritual death, which is eternal separation from God (Gen. 2:17; 3:6-24). Man's propensity to sin because of his sinful nature necessitates salvation from the power of sin and a Savior to provide that salvation (Rom. 5:12-21).

5. The Salvation of Man.
Man's only hope of redemption and salvation from the power of sin is through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; Rom. 5:8-13; 10:9; Jas. 1:21; Eph. 2:8).

6. Christ, the One Shepherd.
Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd (Jn. 10:11) and the Great Shepherd (Heb. 13:20). There is only one spiritual shepherd referred to in the New Testament and Jesus Christ is that One (Jn. 10:16).

7. The Church and Its Mission.
The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Holy Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of its Great Commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and the Church of the firstborn, which was written in heaven (Eph. 1:22,23; 2:22; Heb. 12:23).

Since God's purpose concerning man is to seek and to save those who are lost, to be worshiped by man and to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, the responsibility of the Church is:

a. To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world (Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:19,20; Mk. 16:15,16).

b. To be a corporate body in which man may worship God (I Cor. 12:13).

c. To be a channel of God's purpose to build a body of saints who are being perfected in the image of His Son (Eph. 4:11-16; I Cor. 12:28; 14:12).

8. The Ordinances of the Church.
a. Baptism in Water.
The ordinance of baptism by immersion in water is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent of their sins and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. This is a declaration to the world that they identify with Christ in His death and have been raised with Him in newness of life (Matt. 28:19; Mk. 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Rom. 6:4).

b. The Lord's Supper or Holy Communion.
The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements — the bread and the cup of the fruit of the vine — is the symbol expressing our sharing of the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (II Pet. 1:4), a memorial of His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His Second Coming (I Cor. 11:26), and is enjoined on all believers till He comes!!

9. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4). With the baptism in the Holy Spirit comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts or enablements of the Holy Spirit and their uses in the ministry of the body of Christ (Lk. 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; I Cor. 12:1-31). This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14,15; 15:7-9).

10. Divine Healing.
Divine healing was provided for in the Old Testament (Ex. 15:23-26; Psa. 103:1-3; Isa. 53:4,5) and is an integral part of the Gospel (Matt. 8:16,17; Acts 5:16; Jas. 5:14-16).

11. The Second Advent of Christ.
The Second Coming of Christ includes the catching away of the Church (I Thes. 4:16,17), followed by the actual, visible return of Christ with His saints (the Church) to reign with Him on earth for one thousand years (Zech. 14:5; Matt. 24:27,30; Rev. 1:7; 19:11-14; 20:1-6). This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel (Ezek. 39:28,29; Zeph. 3:19,20; Rom. 11:26,27) and the establishment of universal peace (Isa. 11:6-9; Psa. 72:3-8; Mic. 4:3,4).

12. The Final Judgment.
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, will be consigned, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Matt. 25:46; Mk. 9:43-48; Rev. 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8).

13. The New Heavens and the New Earth.
“We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (II Pet. 3:13; see also Rev. 21:1).

Purposes and Objectives
Christ For The Nations Institute is dedicated to training believers of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and denominations to reach this generation with His truth and His supernatural ministry.

Some of the purposes of the institute are:

1. Balanced Training. CFNI provides a broad curriculum taught by dedicated and competent faculty along with a variety of guest speakers. Christians at different levels of need — from those who do not yet have a basic foundation in the Word to ministers and layworkers needing to gain knowledge in certain areas — can benefit from the extraordinary program.

2. Demonstration and Example. At the Institute, students have an opportunity to observe the gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation and the all-important place of the supernatural and steadfast faith. Both the faculty and the guest speakers are men and women of God, well-proven in their varied ministries, encouraging each student to develop the gifts God has bestowed on them to their full potential.

3. Spiritual Unity. The institute promotes a unity in the Spirit among believers — a unity of love that transcends our differences.

4. Conformity to the Spirit. Because CFNI draws believers of various ages, walks of life, ethnic backgrounds and religious affiliations, students arrive with differing beliefs, values and attitudes. The institute faculty and staff work with the students individually and collectively to help correct inconsistencies in character and deal with the sources of problems. The goal is to encourage students to move in accordance with the leading of the Spirit and the principles of the Word rather than conform to the standards or customs of man. Students are expected to be tolerant and loving toward other dedicated believers, even though their opinions about extraneous issues may differ.

5. Growth through Fellowship. In addition to offering a well-balanced curriculum, CFNI believes it is imperative that the student transfer the knowledge gained from the head to the heart. Only when knowledge enters the heart, becoming part of the individual's life, does it become lifegiving and capable of producing fruit.

CFNI's leadership believers that one of the most effective ways to change selfish values and attitudes is through living in a Christian community. We are convinced that God demands more of Christian love than a kind of interpersonal coexistence. For this reason, we desire to foster fellowship on our campus in which love is the perfect bond.

To become part of this community, there are four guidelines to which each student should agree:

a. To submit to the Word of God and abide by the principles and goals that Christ taught;

b. To make a commitment to the body — its preservation and welfare;

c. To attend classes and join in CFNI functions;

d. To submit to authority and agree to the requests made of the individual or the body by CFNI's established rules and regulations.

6. Practical Personal Learning. CFNI seeks to help every student learn to:

a. Understand the Bible, with emphases on developing consistent Bible study habits and increasing the capacity to memorize Scriptures;

b. Witness and be a witness;

c. Live a disciplined and consistent Christian life in a non-Christian world;

d. Walk the faith life empowered by the Holy Spirit;

e. Be an instrument of the Holy Spirit — willing and able to demonstrate in daily life both the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit for the edification of the Church;

f. Teach others by instruction and example.

The day-by-day operation of the institute is conducted by the Institute Executive Committee members: Dennis Lindsay, President and CEO; Randy Bozarth, Vice President and Executive Director of External Ministries; Mark Ott, Director of Business Affairs; Larry L. Hill, Executive Director of the Institute; Dr. Harold Reents, Academic Dean, Director of Alumni; Dr. Eric Belcher, International Student Adviser, Director of Alumni Ministers' Fellowship.

Admission Requirements For All Applicants
Because of the purposes and objectives of CFNI, it is necessary that each student have a born-again experience and display a life dedicated to Christ. Applicants must give evidence of a sound moral character and a willingness to live in harmony with the standards and ideals of Christ For The Nations Institute.

Applicants must meet the following requirements:

1. Application for admission filled out completely.

2. A recent photograph included in the appropriate space.

3. A completed CFNI health admission form signed by a registered physician and returned with the application.

4. A 300-word autobiography explaining how the applicant came to know Jesus Christ and why he/she wants to be trained at CFNI.

5. A nonrefundable $25 application fee.

10. The return of the signed Objectives and Standards Agreement on the reverse side of the application form.

11. A $100 tuition deposit and a $150 housing deposit (for those requesting family housing) is required upon acceptance.

Since it usually takes six weeks for government benefits to begin after registration or initial paperwork is started, applicants seeking these benefits should make every effort to begin the admission process at least three months before the term begins. By obtaining CFNI acceptance and submitting government forms at least two months before the term begins, a student is more likely to receive a timely response and payment from the government office.

Veterans
Veterans who plan to attend the institute and obtain benefits through the Veteran's Administration should contact the CFNI Veteran's Clerk in the Student Center for the proper forms. These forms should be completed and sent with the application or soon thereafter. Veterans receive a pro rata refund from date of withdrawal on tuition expenses.

A full-time student is one who attends school from 8 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday, plus the 7 p.m. session on Tuesday. A full-time student must also participate in a student ministry each term.

On the Course Schedule, all courses of study are identified by a course number which precedes the title of the course (e.g., BI101-03 Old Testament Survey). The first two letters designate the area of study: BI-Bible; TH-Theology; MI-Ministry; PR-Practics; CO-Communication Arts; CE-Child Evangelism; MU-Music; LA-Languages.

The last two numerals of the course number designate the credit value of the course of study (e.g., -01, -02, -03. When a course is offered during the summer, it will carry a lower credit than when offered during the fall and spring terms due to the reduced time of instruction. From time to time, courses may be offered which do not appear in the Course Description Booklet. Some courses listed are not offered every term.

Transfer of Credit
For those who wish to pursue a four-year degree, we have found that both accredited and nonaccredited colleges and universities have accepted CFNI credits in the past. Check with the school of your choice for information concerning credit transfer.

Christ For The Nations is a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and enthusiastically subscribes to good and wise stewardship of all funds entrusted to us. We promise to use these gifts wisely and effectively in Christ's Name.

“Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace” (II Cor. 1:12 NIV).

Financial Equality Policy
Students who are veterans and eligible for educational benefits shall never be subjected to charges which exceed those of other students pursuing the same or similar courses of instruction.

Advertising Policy
In the publications of Christ For The Nations Inc. and Christ For The Nations Institute, no advertising of any type will be knowingly included which is erroneous, misleading by actual statement, omission or intention, or not in harmony with the standards or ideals of the school and ministry.

Productive Labor Policy
Employment of students and the utilization of facilities and equipment shall never be applied to compete with private industry.

No-Discrimination Policy
CFNI policies concur with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (PL 88-353) and all regulations adopted pursuant to such Title VI. No person shall, on the grounds of race, color or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity of CFNI.

Liability Policy
Student accident and health insurance (minimal) is purchased for each student as a part of the Activity Fee. Christ For The Nations Inc. and Christ For The Nations Institute are not responsible for loss or injuries caused by or incurred by students or their families while in attendance at CFNI.

Endorsements
Christ For The Nations Institute is approved for veteran's training. It is also approved by the U.S. Department of Justice for the training of international students. CFNI is not approved for the Basic Education Opportunity Grant or other government grants.

Student Housing
All full-time students are required to live on campus, with the exception of metroplex residents (must have minimum six-month residency in the Dallas area, a Texas driver's license, and Texas auto plates). Nonresident single students may apply to the Dean of Students for permission to live with parents or legal guardians who reside in the metroplex.

· Singles
A housing security deposit will be required of all single students by the time of registration. This will be refundable when the student checks out properly (see Finance insert for amount).

Students are expected to provide their own personal items for apartment living as follows: pillow, pillowcases, sheets (single students will have twin-sized beds), blankets, bedspreads, towels and washcloths. For single ladies and families, kitchen utensils such as skillets, saucepans, tea kettles or coffeepots, toasters (if desired), table settings, kitchen towels, etc., would be needed. Only coffeemakers, microwave ovens and compact refrigerators (not exceeding 1.7 cubic feet) are allowed in the men's dorm.

In an effort to maintain an atmosphere conducive to good study habits, television sets are not allowed in the single students' dorms.

· Families
CFNI families are provided with campus housing. After having been accepted for admission, families should verify their accommodations in advance of their arrival.

For planning purposes, CFNI requires a housing deposit following a married applicant's acceptance. A housing form will be included in the packet of information the student receives upon acceptance. The student will return the form with the designated deposit to the Housing Department as soon as possible. This deposit will be credited toward the student's school account and will automatically enter his name on the housing list. If the student has to cancel or postpone entrance to school, he/she must notify the Housing Department at least two weeks prior to the beginning of his initial term to receive a refund or transfer the deposit to a future semester. If this two-week deadline is not met, the deposit is nonrefundable.

Usually, CFNI has sufficient family housing; however, in the rare event that housing on campus is not available, there are some apartments within the immediate vicinity of the campus. If it is necessary for a family to obtain off-campus housing, the deposit will be applied to the student's tuition costs.

The following factors are considered in making family housing assignments:

1. Standards of family size for each apartment.

2. Due to limited housing, families with more than four children may not be allowed to live on campus.

3. Because of the dormitory setting, pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are not allowed in student housing.

All dormitories are subject to regular inspection in order to determine maintenance needs and to assure cleanliness. Payment for damage to the apartment or its furnishings will be collected by the Finance Office from the student(s) responsible.

Nursery
Child care in CFNI's nursery is available at an extra charge when:

Dress and Decorum
The purpose of a dress code for a community of Christian believers is not to deprive the individual of personal prerogatives, but rather to provide a unified representation of the objectives of that community. CFNI's objectives involve ministry under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Such a desire for service implies a willingness to be subject to established authority. Cooperation in dress and appearance is solicited. Dress and hairstyles must conform to Christian standards of good taste so as to refrain from offending anyone because of dress or decorum.

· Student Families Policy
Married students must adhere to the same dress code as single students. Students with families at CFNI do not relinquish their scriptural responsibilities as parents. Parents cannot be too busy with working and studies and leave their child's training to others. Christian schools in the Dallas area place great responsibility upon the parents to allow time to assist their children in homework and discipline.

Worldly Personal Habits
Students are expected to abstain entirely from the use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages and illicit drugs, both on and off campus. They will also maintain behavior above reproach in relationships, avoiding all appearances of evil.

Supplies Needed by Students
The Bible is the main book for study. Any required textbooks for CFNI courses will be available at the campus bookstore. A concordance, Bible dictionaries or other research materials would be very useful.

Employment
Most campus jobs are reserved for international students. (The U.S. government will not allow them to work off campus this includes Canadian students.) Therefore, it is important for U.S. students to obtain a job in the community if they need to work.

CFNI is conveniently located near downtown Dallas and jobs are usually available to the persistent who demonstrate a strong desire to work. Having personal transportation is an advantage in finding and maintaining a job.
The CFNI Employment Office is located in the Student Center. There listings of current job openings and other employment information are available to students and family members.

It is vital that each CFNI student try to have as much in savings as possible before coming. Keeping a balanced budget it an important part of preparation for Christian service.

Physical Fitness and Athletics
With an intramural sports program available, students may play on teams such as softball, basketball, football and volleyball. Each student is encouraged to participate in some physical exercise on a regular basis.

The Student Center has a gymnasium for basketball, an indoor pool, a weight lifting and exercise area and a fellowship area for games such as table tennis, etc. Many opportunities are available for children to participate in athletics. For additional information, students should contact the Athletic Director.

Health Care
CFNI provides a minimal, supplemental health insurance program for full-time students. The cost of this insurance is included in the Activity Fee and is charged per semester. Dependent coverage is available at an extra charge, and the necessary forms for enrollment in this plan are available from the Records Secretary, located in the Student Center. This student health insurance program does not apply to nonstudent personnel of CFN or CFNI. Students with children between the ages of 0-5 are strongly encouraged to see that the children have regular pediatric care.

So that we may efficiently serve students, we ask that they arrive between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays. If a student comes to Dallas by plane, upon arrival at the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport or Love Field, he/she should call SuperShuttle at (972) 329-2000. The student should instruct the driver to take him/her to Christ For The Nations Institute, located at the intersection of I-35E and Hwy. 67S in Oak Cliff. The student is responsible to pay the charge for this transportation (approximately $30 for the first rider and $6 for every additional rider). A student arriving on campus before 5 p.m. should ask the driver to take him to the Student Center at 444 Fawn Ridge Dr. If he/she arrives after 5 p.m., he/she should ask the driver to take him/her to the CFNI Dept. of Public Safety office located in front of Gordon Lindsay Tower at 321 W. Kiest Blvd.
