Registrar Announcements
Registration and registration changes
Registration for Summer Term 2013 is now open. The on-time registration deadline is Friday, May 24, after which a $50 late registration fee will apply for all new registrations ($15 for late-registering auditors). Find your registration category below, and read the instructions related to your category to register.
Students who have already registered for a term but need to change their registrations may do so anytime prior to the late registration (drop/add) deadline for the term (prior to the second meeting of any short-term course). There is no fee for adding or changing courses; a $20 cancellation fee will be assessed for dropping a course without adding another in its place. Changes may be made online via Henry, via an email to the Registrar, or by submitting a Change of Registration form.
Dropping a course after the drop/add deadline is subject to the rules governing withdrawal. If you need to withdraw from a course, you must submit notification in writing to the Registrar; any refunds for which you are eligible will be based upon the date of receipt by the Registrar of your written notification. If you simply fail to attend or stop attending any course for which you are registered, the consequences will be your receiving a failing grade and being responsible for all course fees. In extreme circumstances (e.g., lengthy hospitalization), you may petition the Dean in writing for a late withdrawal to avoid receiving a failing grade; however, there can be no refund of any tuition or fees.
If registration for a term is open, choose your category of study:
- First Theological Level - Use this set of materials if you have been formally admitted to one of the following programs: MDiv, MAR, MAPL, Certificate of Theological Study, Special Student, or Affiliated Student
- Advanced Level (Graduate School) - Use this set of materials if you have been formally admitted to one of the following programs: STM, DMin, PhD, or Advanced Graduate Certificate
- Non-Degree, Continuing Education, and Auditing Students - Use this set of materials if you have NOT been formally admitted to one of the above programs. Please be advised that study for credit at the seminary requires that you have earned at least a bachelor's degree
