Students entering the Master of Divinity program are required to hold a bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, with a grade point average of 2.75 or above on a 4.0 scale. Students not meeting grade point requirements may be admitted on a provisional basis and evaluated at the end of the first semester of attendance.
All enrolled students are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5. At the discretion of the Academic Dean, students below 2.5 will be subject to Academic Probation and be required to secure tutoring, or in some instances, retake specific classes.
A student may petition to add a class which has not met more than twice by completing the appropriate form available in the Registrar's Office. He must make up the work of the first session(s) of the class according to the requirements of the professor.
Students may drop or withdraw from a course without academic penalty during the first two weeks of the course (or two meetings of a Winterim or other modular course). Such students will receive a W (Withdrawal). Students who withdraw during the 3rd through the 9th weeks, will receive a WF (Withdrawal/Fail) but may petition the faculty in writing to change the grade to Withdrawal. Petitions must include the grounds that would justify the grade change. Students who withdraw from a course after the 9th week will automatically receive a grade of F (Fail).
