CHPL-1023 Chapel
CHPL-1023 is an intentional time of God-centered worship for the university family that highlights the importance of community in discovering our individual roles in the serving God. Chapel meets twice weekly each fall and spring semester. Full-time, degree-seeking students must successfully complete the chapel requirement for seven semesters in order to graduate from North Greenville University. In addition, part-time students must pass a minimum of two semesters of chapel to earn a bachelor’s degree from the University. To pass a semester of chapel, students must attend and participate in 18 chapel opportunities during the semester. Students must scan their NGU ID Card at the conclusion of chapel to receive attendance credit. After the successful completion of seven semesters of chapel attendance, students are exempt from further chapel requirements.
Chapel presentations address the imperatives of the Christian faith relating to worship, evangelism, discipleship, prayer, fellowship, and ministry. Two meetings per week.
Full-time, students that have no classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, should contact the Office of Campus Ministries and Student Engagement to enroll in the online chapel class.

PALS-1000 Performing Arts and Lecture Series
Performing Arts and Lecture Series (PALS) programs are offered as a part of a liberal arts education and are intended to give students an appreciation of the arts. Such an education seeks to educate the whole person. The goal is a well-rounded, well- informed individual aware of the world and his or her place in society. In exposing students to the arts, educators hope students will develop an understanding of beauty and truth as revealed through artistic expression. As a Christian institution, North Greenville University is also interested in God’s revelation as expressed through the arts.
Attendance will be awarded on a pass/fail basis. Attending three events (on or off campus) will result in a grade of P or passing. In order to graduate, students are required to pass
PALS-1000 for four full-time semester they are enrolled at North Greenville University. Students who have completed four semesters of cultural events credit and have not completed a bachelor’s degree need not further enroll in
PALS-1000.

PALS-1000 to graduate, and part-time students must pass two (2) semesters of
PALS-1000 to graduate. Information concerning the Performing Arts and Lecture Series can be found on the
