Categories of Admission
There are three categories of admission to the college:
Unconditional Admission: All requirements for admission to the program have been met.
Conditional Admission: Under special circumstances, such as when an applicant applies without a Bible and theology background, the applicant may be admitted to the program but may be required to complete a bridging program or to complete a certificate program before moving into an M. A. program. The size and content of the bridging program will be determined based on the individual circumstances. The applicant will be required to finish the tailored bridging program either partially or in its entirety before enrolling in graduate courses. The Dean of Graduate Studies will communicate all the necessary details of these requirements.
Probationary Admission: Under exceptional circumstances, an applicant may be granted probationary admission with an academic record below normal entrance requirements. A “mature student” applicant may only be accepted under this category. An applicant admitted in this category may register for a maximum of 2 courses during the first semester in the program (bridging program or graduate studies courses). The probationary status will be removed if the student passes the courses with an average of C+. If this requirement is not met, based on the evaluation of the Academic Affairs Committee, the student may be dismissed from the program. Probationary admission is not granted to international applicants.
