Student Inactivity
Denver Seminary acknowledges the correlation between engagement in class and student success. Denver
Seminary will administratively withdraw any student who is inactive in a course during the first 2 weeks of
a full semester course (or first day of an intensive course). If a student becomes inactive at any other time
in the semester, the student will be informed of the add/drop process. When a student is administratively
withdrawn or drops a course, financial aid may be impacted and the refund schedule will still
apply. Attendance policies specific to a course may be found in course syllabi.
Inactivity is defined as:
• Residential/DC and Denver Live/Zoom Live: Missing two consecutive weeks of class and not
submitting any coursework during those two weeks. Calls/emails with the professor do not
constitute activity.
• Asynchronous: Not engaging in any of the required activities per the course design and the syllabus
for two consecutive weeks. Calls/emails with the professor do not constitute activity, nor does
logging into the Moodle system. A student must complete a required activity, such as an ILA,
threaded discussion, or submit an assignment.
• Intensive: Not attending the first day of class.
Exceptions will be made for those with relevant military or medical accommodations.
Leave of Absence from Seminary
Students who need to temporarily step away from their studies should complete a Leave of Absence Form
and submit it to Enrollment Management by emailing connect@denverseminary.edu. This form can be
found on the Advising Resources page. A leave of absence is available for up to one calendar year after
which students who do not take at least one course within this timeframe will be withdrawn from the
Seminary. Please see the Academic Catalog for the full policy.
Withdrawing from Seminary
Students who desire to withdraw from the Seminary should complete the Withdrawal Form and submit it
to Enrollment Management. This form can be found on the Advising Resources page
NOTE: Former students who wish to move their status from "withdrawn" to "enrolled" must re-apply for
admission and are subject to current catalog requirements.
