With the exception of the Master of Divinity degree, up to 3 hours of graduate credit may be transferred. Only courses with an “A” or “B” grade may be transferred but are not included in the grade point average. Requests to have graduate credit transferred should be sent to the Seminary-Graduate Studies Office for evaluation.
During the Drop/Add period each semester, a student may, upon obtaining approval from the Registrar, add a course to his schedule and register the change with the Records Office. A change of course fee will be charged.
To drop a course without receiving a failing grade, a student must acquire the approval of the Registrar and register the change with the Records Office by the end of the first four weeks of the semester. Courses dropped after this time will show a grade of “WF.” A drop fee will be charged.
Anyone whose circumstances force him to withdraw from the Seminary must have a withdrawal form properly executed by the Academic Offices.
If the withdrawal is deemed honorable and if all financial obligations have been met, the student’s permanent record will show an honorable withdrawal and grades of “W.” Unregistered withdrawals and other dishonorable withdrawals will show a dishonorable withdrawal and grades of “W.”
Pensacola Theological Seminary cannot schedule courses for the convenience of individual students who cannot or who do not take courses in their regular sequence.
Any course with insufficient enrollment may be canceled.
All students taking a course, regardless of classification, are expected to attend all scheduled classes. Classes missed the day before and/or after holidays are counted as double absences.
Students missing more than a week of scheduled classes automatically lose one full letter grade; students missing more than two weeks receive “F” for the course unless otherwise exempted by the Administration.
Students are expected to take all examinations on their assigned dates. If examinations are missed, as a rule, they may not be taken later. However, if the student gains both the instructor’s and the Registrar’s approval and pays the Late Examination Fee, he may make up an examination.
Grades are issued at midterm and after final examinations during fall and spring semesters. Midterm grades are not entered on the student’s permanent record. For summer sessions, grades are issued at the end of each course. For one-week modules, grades are issued after postcourse work is completed.
The following 4.00 grading system is for all seminary students:
Excellent Good Passing Unsatisfactory Failure
For example, a student receives four grade points per credit hour for each “A.” Students may determine their grade point average by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted. (Students who have taken a course more than once should see Repeating a Course below.)

All “Incompletes” must be made up by midterm of the following semester.
A student may repeat courses in which he did not earn a passing grade. All grades earned by a student become a part of his permanent record and will show on any transcript issued by the Seminary; however, when a course is repeated, the highest earned grade is used in computing the grade point average, and the credit hours are only counted once. A student’s grade point average will improve providing the repeated grade is higher than the previous grade.
No student may repeat a course more than twice. A student must secure the permission of the Registrar anytime he repeats a course.
Each student submitting a signed request will receive a copy of his permanent record at no charge. Additional copies sent to someone other than the student are also free of charge. The Records Office will not issue any transcripts of a student’s record for any student whose account is not paid in full.
All major projects and papers prepared as part of the requirements for seminary degrees automatically become the property of Pensacola Theological Seminary and may not be published or reproduced without the written consent of the Seminary.
Final course papers for one-week modules are generally due 90 days after the last class meeting. A student may request a 30-day extension to the 90-day deadline for a fee of $75. After that, a student may request up to two separate 45-day extensions which requires submission of a $150 Paper Extension Fee per extension.
