28 2. Academic probation Master's-level applicants who do not meet the minimum grade point average (GPA) but are admitted at the discretion of the division chair and/or admissions committee. These applicants are admitted for a probationary time period. Those admitted on academic probation are not permitted to enroll in more than nine hours in the first semester and must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0. If a student does not have the required minimum GPA at the end of the probationary period, the student may be subject to dismissal. 3. Provisional acceptance Applicants who are admitted and still need to submit final official transcripts with graduation date posted or those who may still need to complete supplemental documents and/or requirements. 4. Conditional acceptance Applicants who have been admitted and have special conditions placed on their acceptance and may be denied registration or be subject to possible withdrawal from school if conditions are not met. DEFERRED ENROLLMENT Applicants admitted into all degree programs may defer enrollment for up to two terms within a calendar year. Individuals who have not matriculated within this period need to reapply for admission. Denver Seminary offers deferred enrollment for applicants of the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, however, it is based on space availability. TRANSFER CREDIT Course credits with a minimum grade of "C" ("B" in the Doctor of Ministry program) earned at other accredited seminaries and graduate theological schools are eligible for transfer to the extent that the courses are comparable to Denver Seminary's stated requirements. Courses must have been completed within a stipulated period of time that varies by degree program. DMin program—ten years MDiv program—ten years MA programs—eight years No transfer credit may apply to a certificate program. Only transfer credit that applies to a student's degree program will be accepted. All master's-level students must take at least one course in New Testament, Old Testament, and theology from Denver Seminary faculty. Transfer hours are limited to a maximum of eight hours in the major or concentration (nine hours in the MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program). The following number of semester hours may be transferred: A maximum of six hours toward the DMin degree A maximum of thirty-nine hours toward the MDiv degree A maximum of twenty-five hours toward the MA degree When a degree has been conferred at another institution, no more than one-half of the hours applied to that earned degree (not to exceed the maximum hours noted above) may be transferred to a Denver Seminary master's degree program.
