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 per his or her academic
background.

An application must be made on the official form furnished by the admissions office. A copy is available
on our website or can be requested by mail or email. We also offer the option to apply online using the
online application. 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 and/or
email, 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, at home, online, or at any
Facilitator location. All degree programs are available online. Online programs are offered to all students,
both those who are working with a Facilitator and those who are not.

Once all the requirements for an individual course have been completed, they are then to be mailed to JTS
or submitted through our online system. A copy of the course grade will be returned to the student by
mail, email, or online system after the grade has been posted to the student’s permanent records and
transcript.

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 the student’s record.
