FAQ
-
How does an Audit courses differ from a course for credit?
Online audit courses operate as Independent Study where students can start and stop anytime and work at their own pace. Students do not submit assignments or engage directly with the professor or other students.
-
What is included in the audit version of a course?
Every course has a lot of content as they are the same lectures provided to students in the classroom! Most courses include at least 28 full lectures, each between 35-50 minutes. The lectures are supported with visuals of the content. Student notes are also provided for students to download and take notes while they are listening to professors. Audit students do not interact with other students, engage the teacher, or have assignments.
-
How long do I get access to the course for?
If you sign up for a single course, then you will have access for 6 months starting from the day of enrollment. If you have a subscription, then you have access until you cancel.
-
Can I get a refund?
You are eligible for a full refund if you cancel your access within 30 days of purchase or initial subscription. Simply email [email protected] with your request. Refunds will be made using the same payment method used to make the initial purchase. It normally takes 5-10 business days for the credit to reflect on your billing statement. You are not eligible for a refund if you cancel your access after 30 days of purchase or initial subscription.
-
If I change my mind, can I get credit for my audit course?
Credit is not granted after the fact. In order to get college credit, students need to enter a system of accountability and feedback for progress made and work completed. The audit system does not allow for that, therefore students desiring to get college credit, must apply and get accepted to PBC and register for courses. For information on taking courses for credit - https://portlandbiblecollege.org/academics/
-
Can I teach the materials?
By subscribing or purchasing our courses, you are welcome to teach the material in your local context. We are happy to equip you to equip others.

-
Can I translate the materials?
Several of our courses have been translated to Spanish and Portuguese. Contact us at [email protected] and let us know your interest about our courses in Spanish or Portuguese. By subscribing or purchasing our courses, you are welcome to teach our materials in your local context and language. Please keep in mind that translation does not equal ownership of the courses. Teaching PBC courses in other languages does not include permission to sell the translated content or upload translations online. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] and ask for permission if you want to do wider disbursement.
-
Can I watch the content on a mobile device?
Students must have a computer (PC or Mac) and access to a high-speed internet connection to stream videos and lectures. Some lectures should also play on mobile and tablet devices, but the PBC help desk is unable to provide technical support for those. The lectures will work on any browser, but we have found Firefox to provide the most consistent display.
-
Where do I get help if I experience technical issues?
For a fast resolve to your technical issues, please contact the PBC Help Desk at [email protected]. All your questions will be responded to within 24 hours except on weekends and holidays when they will receive prompt attention on the next working day.
