Student Life and Enrollment Management (SLEM)
Student Success Advisors
The Student Success Advisor (SSA) team contributes to the mission of Denver Seminary by providing
proactive and collaborative academic advising support. The SSA team is the main point of contact
throughout a student's time at Denver Seminary. The Advisors assist with course scheduling, registering
for classes, degree mapping, staying on track for graduation, changing programs/campuses, or taking a
semester off. If a student's questions are not enrollment related but the student does not know where to start
in getting an answer, reach out to the Student Success Advisor team to be directed appropriately.

Student Care and Resources
Student Life maintains a variety of resources and services, which can be found on the Student Life
Resources website: studentlife.densem.edu.
Proactive Student Support
Denver Seminary cares deeply about the well-being and success of our students and has a robust referral
system, The Bridge, that was created to connect students with the support and resources that will be most
beneficial to them. Students may be referred by faculty for any student success issue and the Student Care
Specialist will reach out to follow up about what support might be of most help. Throughout each academic
term, instructors will also receive surveys from the Student Care Specialist to give general feedback
regarding individual student success. At this time, students may be contacted by the Student Care Specialist
to help determine if any additional support is needed. Students may also reach out directly to the Student
Care Specialist if disruptive life circumstances impact one's ability to succeed academically.
Conditional Acceptance
As a part of Denver Seminary's mission to provide holistic support for students, incoming students with a
grade point average (GPA) below what is required for their program or who are otherwise identified by
enrollment as requiring additional academic support will be admitted under Conditional Acceptance.
Conditional Acceptance students will schedule a meeting with the Student Care Specialist to establish
resources and strategies that will help students towards success during their first semester. During this
meeting, students will identify any challenges they are currently facing and determine what resources would
be most helpful for them. The Student Care Specialist is available as a resource and source of support for
Conditional Acceptance students throughout their first semester.
