21 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 with no conditions. 2. 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. 3. Conditional acceptance Applicants who have been admitted and have special conditions placed on their acceptance. Conditional Acceptance includes, but is not limited to, applicants who do not meet the minimum grade point average (GPA), are admitted as UDE students, or have been identified as needing extra support for success. Students admitted on conditional acceptance will be admitted at the discretion of the division chair and/or admissions committee. If a student does not meet the conditions outlined in their acceptance, the student may be subject to denial of continued class registration or Academic Probation status. DEFERRED ENROLLMENT Applicants admitted into all degree programs may defer enrollment for up to one calendar year. Individuals who have not matriculated within this period need to reapply for admission. Denver Seminary offers deferred enrollment for applicants of the Master of Arts in Counseling program; however, it is based on space availability. Applicants who defer enrollment in the Doctor of Philosophy program are not guaranteed a spot in a future cohort and may be added to the program waitlist. Doctor of Philosophy deferrals must start the following fall. TRANSFER CREDIT Course credits with a minimum grade of "C" ('B" in the Doctor of Ministry and Doctor of Philosophy Programs) earned at other accredited seminaries, and graduate level institutions are eligible for transfer to the extent that the courses are comparable to Denver Seminary's stated requirements. Course credits approved for transfer must have been completed within the specified time limit in order to be applied toward a degree (see the Program Completion Time Limits policy within this Catalog). Courses considered for transfer credit to the Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision program must be obtained from a CACREP accredited program. In the event that the CACREP standards listed in Denver Seminary's course requirements are not met, additional assignments to fulfill individual CACREP standards may be required. No transfer credit may apply to a graduate certificate program. Only transfer credit that applies to a student's degree program will be accepted. All master's-level students (except Master of Arts in Counseling and Master of Arts in Counseling Ministries) must take GS 500 and one New Testament, Old Testament, or Theology course from Denver Seminary. All Master of Arts in Counseling and Master of Arts in Counseling Ministries students must
