Since tests are given on a limited basis each year, and pre-registration is required, the student should allow sufficient time for the results to be included in the admission process. In addition, a letter of verification is required from the registrar or other academic official of the institution where the degree was earned. To be eligible for this program, applicants must be qualified for admission to a particular degree or non degree program in every other way. The ESL program consists of one quarter of full time English language studies, including work in reading, writing, speaking, listening, culture, and communication. Students admitted through the ESL program must successfully complete the program by passing the English language examination before they can enroll in regular master's level classes for academic credit.
All expenses are payable in U.S. currency.
The seminary reserves the right to change rates and policies when necessary. Tuition is charged based on the school and level of the class not on the student's program. International students who do not have permanent resident status in the United States will be considered for admission to Fuller Theological Seminary only if they can meet the requirements of a financial guarantee for themselves and all dependents who are accompanying them to the United States. If the dependents are remaining in their home country, the seminary strongly recommends that appropriate financial arrangements be made to care for them during the entire time the student is away, in addition to the student's expenses in the United States. International applicants should submit their applications at least six months prior to the quarter in which they intend to enroll.
