STUDENT LIFE

ABU is more than just an academic experience—it is a transformative journey that shapes your faith, fosters meaningful relationships, and creates lasting memories.

At Arlington Baptist University, student life is rooted in community, accountability, and spiritual growth. The Student Handbook serves as a guide to campus policies, expectations, resources, and student responsibilities, helping create a safe, respectful, and Christ-centered learning environment for all.

Students are encouraged to review the handbook regularly to stay informed and engaged in campus life.

Spiritual Life

At ABU, faith is an integral part of your college experience. Our dedicated Spiritual Formation course is designed to foster spiritual growth by guiding students in their walk with Christ through church involvement, biblical study, and Christian service. Additionally, through chapel services, discipleship programs, and other impactful spiritual events, students will have the opportunity to deepen their faith and take meaningful steps in their relationship with the Lord.
