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withdrawn or drops a course, financial aid may be impacted and the refund schedule will still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 Canvas Learning Management 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.
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withdrawn from the Seminary.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. 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NOTE: Former students who wish to move their status from "withdrawn" to "enrolled" must re-apply for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.
