Questions regarding the transfer of credits should be directed to the Registrar's Office (registrar@denverseminary.edu). TRANSFER CREDIT DISCLAIMER: Transfer of credit from Denver Seminary to another institution is at the discretion of the receiving institution to determine which courses taken at Denver Seminary are eligible for transfer. ADVANCED STANDING Denver Seminary allows up to twelve hours of advanced standing credit toward MA programs (up to six hours toward the MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling) and up to nineteen hours toward the MDiv program, regardless of the way it is earned (no advanced standing is available for Doctor of Ministry, certificate, or nondegree students). Advanced standing credit, which reduces the number of hours needed to complete a degree, may be earned by either or both of the following methods. (1) Pass a proficiency exam in a particular subject matter. Exams are offered in the following courses: CH 500 History of the Christian Movement (3 hours) NT 501, 502 New Testament Greek I and II (6 hours) NT 511 Gospels and Acts (3 hours) NT 512 Epistles and Revelation (3 hours) OT 501, 502 Hebrew I and II (6 hours) OT 511 Israel's Early History and Poetry (3 hours) OT 512 Kingdom of Israel and Prophets (3 hours) TH 501 Survey of Christian Doctrine I (3 hours) TH 502 Survey of Christian Doctrine II (3 hours) (2) By evaluation of the undergraduate transcript (usually with a major in Bible, theology, Christian ministries or related field). Courses which are determined to be comparable to certain required courses at Denver Seminary may be applied to a qualifying Denver Seminary program— with credit. A syllabus is required for each course that is reviewed and an oral interview and/or course papers may be required in addition to a syllabus. Only the courses listed above are available for consideration. To qualify for an advanced standing transcript review, the following criteria must be met: Must enroll at Denver Seminary within five years of college graduation. A minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.25 with a minimum grade of B in each eligible course must be earned. Courses under review cannot be more than ten years old if they will apply to the MDiv program or eight years old if they will apply to an MA program. Complete information about advanced standing, including time limits, study guides, and the application, can be found on the Seminary's website at http://www.denverseminary.edu/admissions/advanced- standing/. Questions regarding advanced standing should be directed to the Registrar's Office (registrar@denverseminary.edu).
