If the college program is incomplete when application is filed, two transcripts of work to that date must be submitted, and after graduation from college two supplements must be furnished indicating the degree received. The responsibility for approving or rejecting an application for admission belongs to the Admissions Committee. In order to protect the interests of the applicant, persons supplying references, the Southern Baptist Convention and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, the proceedings of the committee cannot be shared with the applicant or other interested persons. When an applicant's file is completed, the applicant will be notified promptly by the Admissions Committee concerning action taken. The seminary reserves the right to require a personal interview before a final decision is reached.
Applications are valid for one year from the date filed.
An update application must be submitted if a student does not enroll within a year. All supporting documents contained in the applicant's file are the property of the seminary and will not be returned or reproduced for future use of the applicant. The United States Immigration and Naturalization Service requires that a student on a F-1 visa provide evidence of adequate support during the duration of status as a student. All transcripts from outside the United States must be evaluated. A Bachelor's degree equivalency is required.
