Application Fees and
Transcripts
Applications must be accompanied by a $30.00 non-refundable
fee for first level masters programs, which may
be paid on-line (following the application "submit")
or by check made payable to Louisville Seminary.
An application is not considered complete without
all fees and transcripts from all colleges, universities,
and seminaries attended. It is the applicant's
responsibility to insure that transcripts are
sent to the Office of Admissions. After receiving
the application, the Office of Admissions will
send financial aid, recommendation, and other
forms needed to continue the admissions process.
Letters of Recommendation
Upon receiving the recommendation forms, applicants
must send them to references. The applicant should
follow-up to make sure they are all sent to the
Office of Admissions. Completed files will be
reviewed promptly. The Office of Admissions may
request an interview or additional information
from any applicant.
Completion of Application and Matriculation
An applicant who is admitted to the Seminary should
indicate acceptance by filing a tuition deposit
with the Office of Admissions. Applicants in good
standing may choose to postpone enrollment for
up to one year from the initial semester of application.
Admitted applicants who complete their bachelor's
degree the semester before beginning seminary
must forward final college transcripts to the
Office of Admissions certifying the degree and
date of graduation. Students admitted in the spring
semester must receive permission from the Dean
to enroll in foundational courses that require
previous semesters in sequence such as Christian
Historical and Theological Studies II and Scripture
II.
International Students
Students from international settings are welcome
in the Seminary community. Students from other
countries add much to the life of the Seminary.
Members of the Seminary community recognize their
responsibility to nurture these students who are
preparing to serve their own national churches.
The Seminary normally requires international students
have the endorsement of their national church
(including assurances that the churches hold positions
for the returning student). At the request of
other nations, the Seminary does not usually accept
applications from international students already
studying in the U.S. Students must be able to
read, write, and understand English by showing
proficiency through the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 550.
They must also have sufficient financial resources
to meet their needs. Admission as a regular student
and degree candidate requires a B.A. or equivalent.
Applications for international students must be
completed by February 1 for admission the following
fall. International applicants should write the
Office of Admissions for details on necessary
credentials and procedures.
