19 ADMISSIONS DECISIONS The Admissions Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine whether an applicant meets the standards and criteria for admission based on the applicant's GPA, references, essay, overall fitness for ministry, and other submitted documents within the applicant's file. Denver Seminary does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, age or disability in admissions or in the administration of its educational policies, loan programs, and other Seminary-administered programs. Types of Acceptance Applicants may be admitted with the following types of acceptance: 1. Full acceptance Applicants who have been admitted into a degree or certificate program with no conditions. 2. Academic probation Applicants who do not meet the minimum grade point average (GPA) but are admitted at the discretion of the division chair and/or admissions committee. These applicants are admitted for a probationary time period. Those admitted on academic probation are not permitted to enroll in more than nine hours in the first semester and must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0.* If a student does not have the required minimum GPA at the end of the probationary period, the student may be subject to dismissal. 3. Provisional acceptance Applicants who are admitted and still need to submit final official transcripts with graduation date posted or those who may still need to complete supplemental documents and/or requirements. 4. Conditional acceptance Applicants who have been admitted and have special conditions placed on their acceptance and may be denied registration or be subject to possible withdrawal from school if conditions are not met. * *2.75 for students in the ThM and MA (Apologetics and Ethics), (New Testament), (Old Testament), (Theology) programs. 3.00 for students in the Doctor of Ministry program.
