As a school of the church, we at BTS
are guided by the Seminary's mission statement in all our tasks.
Code of
Conduct for Institutional Financial Aid Professionals
An institutional
financial aid professional is expected to always maintain exemplary
standards of professional conduct in all aspects of carrying out his
or her responsibilities, specifically including all dealings with
any entities involved in any manner in student financial aid,
regardless of whether such entities are involved in a government
sponsored, subsidized, or regulated activity.
In doing so, a
financial aid professional should:
-
Refrain from
taking any action for his or her personal benefit.
-
Refrain from
taking any action he or she believes is contrary to law,
regulation, or the best interests of the students and parents he
or she serves.
-
Ensure that
the information he or she provides is accurate, unbiased, and does
not reflect any preference arising from actual or potential
personal gain.
-
Be objective
in making decisions and advising his or her institution regarding
relationships with any entity involved in any aspect of student
financial aid.
-
Refrain from
soliciting or accepting anything of other than nominal value from
any entity (other than an institution of higher education or a
governmental entity such as the U.S. Department of Education)
involved in the making, holding, consolidating or processing of
any student loans, including anything of value (including
reimbursement of expenses) for serving on an advisory body or as
part of a training activity of or sponsored by any such entity.
-
Disclose to
his or her institution, in such manner as his or her institution
may prescribe, any involvement with or interest in any entity
involved in any aspect of student financial aid.
