ADMISSION INFORMATION

Applicants for admission to Jacksonville Theological Seminary (JTS) are considered without regard to
sex, age, color, or national origin. Each prospective student will be assessed according to his or her
academic background.

An application must be made on the official form furnished by the admissions office. A copy is
available in this catalog. Once the admissions office receives an application, along with the appropriate
fees and official transcripts of all earned credit, the applicant will be evaluated to determine his or her
academic needs by the Academic Dean of JTS. The Admissions Office will then notify the student by
mail, regarding acceptance and credits needed for a degree.

Once applicants have received official notice that they have been accepted as students, and their
evaluation is complete; they may begin ordering courses. Courses may be taken at JTS or any Facilitator
location.

Once all the requirements for an individual course have been completed, they are then to be mailed to
JTS. A copy of the course grade will be returned to the student after the grade has been posted to the
student’s permanent records and transcript. NOTE: A student should not begin studies in a new course
unless all the requirements for the previous course have been completed and submitted.

DISMISSAL and RE-ADMISSION POLICIES

JTS reserves the right at any time to place on probation, suspend, or dismiss a student whose academic
standing, financial obligations, progress, or conduct is not deemed as satisfactory by the administration.

If a student has been “inactive” for a period of one year or longer, he or she will no longer fall under the
“grandfather” clause for subsequent degree plans. All curriculum and financial degree plans will be
established as per the current guidelines for the current year; however, the application fee will be
waived.

Re-admission is not to be expected after a dismissal. However, a student is free to re-apply through the
office of admissions for student status at any time. His or her re-admission will be subject to the written
approval of the president.

REPEATING A COURSE

Students may request and obtain permission to retake an exam if the grade was below a “C”. If students
receive a failing grade for the course, they must retake it to receive credit for graduation. Only the higher
grade will be recorded on students’ records.

Corrected tests do not include the answers; they do, however, indicate each question missed. A second
attempt should be much easier. The cost to repeat an exam is $25.00.
