Students in need of a course extension should request a "Request for Extension of Course Work Due Date" form available from the dean of student services. Once a decision is made, the student will be notified via email by the Registrar's Office. NOTE: Extension requests cannot be granted for a project or thesis and are not available to graduating students unless the graduation date is postponed. STUDENT CLASSIFICATION The following chart outlines criteria for student classification: MDiv 1–30 hours 1st year 30–61 hours 2nd year 61–91 hours 3rd year MA 1–32 hours 33+ hours 1st year 2nd year ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL Students who have a cumulative grade point average below the required 2.00* for a semester are placed on academic probation. Students who have a cumulative grade point average below the required 2.00* for two sequential semesters are continued on academic probation for a second semester. If students admitted on academic probation earn a grade point average below 2.00* in their first semester of studies, they are continued on academic probation for a second semester. Students placed on second semester academic probation must meet with the dean of student services and will be limited to one course per semester (no more than three semester hours), in which they must earn a B or better. Students who fail to attain this grade will be subject to academic dismissal (refer to the Student Handbook for the academic dismissal appeal process). Students who have been placed on academic probation and who raise their cumulative grade point average to the minimum of 2.00* are returned to the status of good academic standing. *2.75 for students in the MA (Apologetics and Ethics), (Biblical Studies), (Theology) program. EARNING MORE THAN ONE MASTER'S DEGREE When students enroll in a Master of Arts program after graduating with the Master of Divinity or other graduate degree, one half of the hours required for the MA must be unique to that program. When students enroll for the MDiv degree after receiving an MA or other graduate degree, they are required to earn a minimum of sixty-seven semester hours that are unique to the MDiv degree (actual hours needed will depend on the number of hours earned in the previous master's degree). Two MA degrees require a minimum of ninety-two hours (ninety-six hours if one of the degrees is the MA in Counseling and 102 hours if one of degrees is the MA in Chaplaincy). In addition, all requirements must be met for both degrees. 45
