2015-2016 Student Handbook 61 Seminar Information Minimum Number of Students Required for a Seminar The minimum enrollment for seminars is five students. If a seminar is canceled because of low enrollment, students will be notified within a few days of the final registration (add) deadline. The D.Min. office will assist students in registering for another course. Do not book airline tickets until you know the seminar will be conducted. Policy on Transfer Credit from Other Doctor of Ministry Programs Credit for doctoral work taken at other accredited seminaries may be transferred to Denver Seminary's D.Min. program under the following conditions: 1. The D.Min. Director will determine whether the course content and number of credit hours for work taken at other institutions are acceptable for transfer. Such determination is to be made in consultation between the Director and the student admittance to the program at Denver Seminary. The credit to be transferred must be for work taken at the doctoral level. 2. Transfer credit will be limited to replacing up to two seminars (six semester hours) in a student's program. Transfer credit reduces the number of electives (including individualized studies) students may take. If two seminars (six hours) are transferred, no electives may be taken. If one seminar (three hours) is transferred, one elective may be taken. Continuing Education for Denver Seminary D.Min. Graduates Graduates of the Denver Seminary D.Min. program are encouraged to continue their education by auditing doctoral seminars. They will enroll as non-transcripted auditors and must complete all pre-seminar assignments so they are prepared to interact in the seminar sessions. The fee for a non-transcripted audit is $35.00. Contact the Registrar for the application form. Current students will have preference over returning graduates for a seat in the class until the registration deadline. Textbooks Students will obtain their own textbooks. If a student has difficulty locating a book, the student should contact fellow students, the instructor, or the D.Min. office for suggestions. Graduation The candidate will submit a Graduation Application form (available online) to the Registrar's office no later than the date specified on the form. • Fall graduation applications - due by October 1. • Spring graduation applications - due by February 1. • Summer graduation applications - due by May 1.
