Fall Semester 2025

These instructions are primarily for those students who started mid-year in January or Spring 2025, for which Fall 2025 will be their first Fall Semester in their respective degree program.  These instructions could also possibly apply to those students who started earlier in the year (or slightly before) and have been part-time only.  Consult your faculty advisor and/or the Registrar if you have questions on course selections for your particular situation.

(.pdf, 129K)

Please consult with your Faculty Advisor and/or the Registrar if you have questions about your particular course selections, especially if you are a transfer student or otherwise have advanced standing with second-year requirements (or have possibly recently switched into or away from being a CL student).

MDiv Students - Please pay attention specifically to how both the 21st Century Leadership and MN 230W Preaching courses are being paired together, being taught twice to approximately half the students in each semester as one course in each fall and spring semester, with asynchronous and residential (face-to-face in the classroom) students limited on the course they can be in with each semester.

(.pdf, 134K)

These instructions are for those MDiv students in Year 4 of the curriculum, or who may be completing final-year courses earlier than normal by permission of the faculty (such as before completing a final-year internship).  Please consult with your Faculty Advisor and/or the Registrar if you have questions about course selections.  Also please note that enrollment in the two Advanced Bible - Hebrew Bible courses and the two Advanced Theology courses will be "controlled" during the registration process by the Registrar (by request of the instructors through limiting enrollment maximums and raising that number incrementally) in order to divide the final-year MDiv students essentially into equal-sized groups in each option.
