05.3.8 Modes of Study

  1. The degree is offered in both full-time and part-time mode.

  2. The normal full-time load is two units per semester. However, students seeking an accelerated program may submit reasons for varying this limit to the Learning and Teaching Committee for consideration.

  3. The normal part-time load is one unit per semester. Part-time students are encouraged to enrol in at least one unit per year. Those seeking to enrol in more than three units per year may submit reasons to the Learning and Teaching Committee for consideration.

  4. Full Library membership, including borrowing privileges, is extended to part-time students for the duration of each semester in which they are enrolled.

  5. At least four units are offered each semester. Most units are offered in intensive mode. For details of units offered in a particular semester please see website for details.

  6. Normally at least one unit involving a book of the Bible in the original language is offered in intensive mode each semester.

  7. Applicants with a three-year theology degree may not enrol full-time within one year of completing their degree, except by special permission of the Academic Board. This requirement serves to ensure that students choosing to complete the College’s four-year program are not disadvantaged. However, exceptions may be considered for missionaries wishing to avoid the extra year’s delay in taking up appointments.
