Vocational Evaluation of Students Students in the M.A. and M.Div. Personal observation and academic records are used along with standardized evaluation instruments with proven validity and reliability. A fee is charged to cover the actual cost of the standardized test. The purpose of this evaluation is to advise students regarding their future ministries. The evaluation may also be useful in determining suitable placement for graduates.
Late registration is permitted through the second week of the fall and spring semesters.
Courses may be dropped without academic penalty through the first five weeks of any regular semester and through the first week of classes during the winter and summer sessions. For refunds related to courses dropped, see the refund policy. Directed Study Courses Students may request permission to take an independent, directed study course under the supervision of a professor. Such a course requires the equivalent of 750-1000 pages of reading per semester study hour in lieu of class attendance, plus a project approved by the professor. The character of the work and the way of reporting it will be left to the professor, but all directed study courses must be approved by the Academic Dean.
