Classification of
Students
Full-time Students
Those students who have registered for twelve or more
hours of credits in a given semester.
Part-time Students
Those students who register for less than twelve
hours of credit in a given semester.
Special Students
Those who have not met the minimum qualifications for
the Master of Divinity degree and do not desire to prepare
for full-time ministry in the Church.
Provisional Students
A newly enrolled student who, in the judgment of
the Admissions Committee, has not sufficiently demonstrated
aptitude for ministerial training and has been granted a
qualified admission consisting of one semester of academic
probation.
Online/Distance Learning
Students can take classes "live" via the Internet but in order to participate in
this way, they must have a high-speed Internet connection and a webcam.
For those who cannot use the "live" stream, classes can also be taken by
download or by DVD. For the current class schedule, refer to Academic
Information/Class Schedule.
Application
The completed application form is to be sent to the Administrator of the
Seminary. The instructions are on the application form regarding additional
information and documentation which are also to be sent directly to the
Seminary. Applicants will be notified either personally, by mail or by phone of
their acceptance as prospective students.
Class Attendance
The student assumes responsibility for completion
of all requirements as determined for each course and is
expected to attend all class sessions for which he is
registered. Common courtesy suggests that a student confer
with his instructor if absence from class becomes necessary.
A student who needlessly absents himself from class is
liable to censure, to disciplinary probation or to dismissal
if such action in warranted.
Incomplete Work
A grade of “Incomplete” may be assigned by
the instructor. For credit to be established an “Incomplete”
must be removed within fifteen weeks of the close of the
semester in which it was given. If not completed the student
will fail the course and no credit will be given.
Academic Probation
Any student who fails to maintain a cumulative or
current average of 2.00 (C) will be placed on academic
probation. If this academic performance continues for two
successive semesters, the student will be dismissed and must
wait for one year before applying for re-admission.
Withdrawal
A student who wishes to withdraw the Seminary
must secure the approval of the president following
consultation with the Curriculum Committee. All earned credits will be honored
for a period of five years from the semester of withdrawal if re-enrolled within
that five-year period of time.
Transfer Students
Students transferring to the Inter-Lutheran
Theological Seminary are required to have a transcript of
all their previous college and Seminary work sent to the
Administrator of the Seminary. All Seminary work will
be evaluated by the Curriculum Committee and appropriate
credit given. No credit is allowed for any grade below C.
Lodging
The Seminary has no residence facilities, hence,
students must provide their own accommodations.
School Year
Classes for the first semester of the school year begin on the
Wednesday following Labor Day in September unless otherwise indicated.
