Academic Probation Support
Students who have earned a grade point average (GPA) below what is required for their program during a
semester at Denver Seminary will be placed on a semester of academic probation (Please see the Academic
Catalog for details on academic probation). The Student Care Specialist will work with students who are
on academic probation to identify any potential barriers to academic success and develop a detailed plan to
raise their grade point average (GPA). All students who have been placed on either first or second semester
academic probation will meet with the Student Care Specialist in order to better understand the conditions
of their probation and develop a plan for academic success.
Job Search Assistance and Career Services
The Seminary's online Job Board contains a variety of part-time and full-time job listings, as well as
internship and volunteer opportunities. Students interested in Federal Work Study positions on campus can
find additional information in the Financial Aid Section of this handbook. To schedule a meeting with one
of our staff to discuss your occupational needs, please contact Student Life directly.
Ministry Residency Program
The Ministry Residency Program connects Seminary students with paid internships at churches and non-
profits. Students take on part-time roles (usually between 10-30 hours a week) that provide practical, hands-
on experience for the student while they advance the vision and mission of the organization. Participating
churches and non-profits compensate the student through tuition donations, with the possibility of an
additional taxable stipend depending on the number of hours worked. More information about the
Residency Program and any open positions may be found at the Denver Seminary website.
Discounted Professional Counseling Services
Several local professional Christian counselors along the Front Range have agreed to provide a limited
number of sessions for seminary students and their immediate family members at a discounted rate. The
identities of those who inquire about counseling services will remain confidential. More information can
be found on the Student Life website or by emailing the Student Life Office.
Health Insurance
Denver Seminary recognizes that students and their families have unique factors driving their decisions
about health insurance, and Student Life can provide assistance to students as they navigate the insurance
marketplace. Information about insurance options can be found in the Insurance section of the Student Life
Resources webpage.
*Health insurance is required for all international students and their dependents for the duration of their studies at
Denver Seminary. Documentation that verifies enrollment in a health insurance plan must be provided to the Dean of
Students Office.
