Registrar Announcements

Registration and registration changes

Summer Term registration is now open.  The deadline for on-time registration is Wednesday, May 23, after which a $50 late registration fee will apply.  Fall registration will not open until at least May; check back here for an announcement, or watch your LTSP email.

Students who have already registered for a term but need to drop a course 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 Professional 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-Matriculants/Auditors - Use this set of materials if you have NOT been formally admitted to one of the above programs. Study for credit at the seminary requires that you have earned at least a bachelor's degree
