37 All students who have successfully completed their thesis proposal course (or DT 1101 for DMin) are not eligible to take a leave of absence. Doctor of Ministry (DMin) students experiencing extenuating circumstances may make formal appeal to this policy with the DMin committee. SELECTING A MAJOR/CONCENTRATION All students enrolling in an MA degree program must select a major and receive approval for this major from the appropriate department prior to being admitted to Denver Seminary. MDiv students who wish to complete a concentration (this is not necessary to earn the degree) must declare their desired concentration prior to the start of their final semester. The Application for Change of Degree, Major, or Concentration form is available in the Registrar's Office or on the MyDenSem student portal for those who wish to change a degree, change a major or add a concentration after admission. Those who wish to change their degree program after the start of their first semester should also complete this form. Students seeking to change programs must be in good academic standing (see the Academic Probation and Dismissal policy of this catalog) and meet all admissions requirements to be approved for entrance into their requested degree program. Students must be formally admitted to the program from which they plan to graduate at least one full semester before the planned graduation date. Doctor of Ministry students must select a track at the time of admission. Those wishing to change their track after the last day to add a course during the first semester should contact the Registrar's Office.
