Registration Information

Registration Policy

Salt Lake Theological Seminary subscribes to a policy of equal educational opportunity for all people regardless of race, age, sex, national or ethnic origin, religious or political affiliation.  Students may register for a limited number of classes before they have completed the process of applying for admission to a certificate or degree program; however, students must have a bachelors or higher degree in order to register for graduate credit.

*Salt Lake Theological Seminary is an associate member of ATS, the Association of Theological Schools.

How do I decide which classes to take?

Consult the current Course Schedule and select classes that fit your schedule, ministry needs and interests, taking into account any pre-requisites or limitations noted in the schedule.  Students who are seeking to earn a specific degree or certificate should review the relevant section of the Academic Catalog, or contact the Registrar’s Office, for information on courses required for their chosen program of study.

When can I register?

Registration generally opens about 60 days prior to the start of the semester.  Students should register well in advance of the first class meeting to ensure seating availability.  Each Course Schedule includes a published registration deadline, after which a late registration fee of $20 will be charged.  When space is available instructors may, at their discretion, allow students to register during the first week of class. 

How do I register?

Our Online Registration is fast and easy, and available 24 hours a day.  If you prefer, you may call the seminary on weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to register.  Within the greater Salt Lake City area call 801-581-1900; toll free call 888-809-1265.

How do I obtain books?

Salt Lake Theological Seminary does not currently maintain a year-around bookstore.  Prior to each semester, a list of required and recommended books is published online in the syllabus for each class.  Students need to order their own books through online or retail sources, but should be aware that certain theological and biblical studies texts may have limited availability.

Tuition

Fall and Spring Semester Tuition: Graduate Coursework

Students must provide a transcript showing possession of a bachelors degree in order to register for graduate level classes.

Additionally, there is a non-refundable registration fee of $35 and a student resource fee of $100.  Included in the graduate student resource fee is an affiliate-member borrowing and use privilege for the Marriott Library at the University of Utah.

Fall and Spring Semester Tuition: Non-graduate

Salt Lake Theological Seminary does not offer an undergraduate degree.  Two levels of non-graduate study are available on a limited basis (see Registration Policy above).

Certificate students are those who have applied for admission to, and enroll in coursework leading toward completion of a Certificate in Christian Studies.

Audit students enroll in classes for personal enrichment and discipleship, but do not receive academic credit.

For certificate students the tuition is $110 per credit hour, with a non-refundable registration fee of $20 and a student resource fee of $15.

Financial Assistance and Tuition Discounts

Financial Assistance

A limited amount of scholarship money may be available to students.  Scholarships are generally based on financial need and may depend upon the student's course of study, academic performance and similar factors.  Students seeking scholarship assistance must submit a completed Financial Aid Application prior to the filing deadlines published in the Academic Calendar.  Financial Aid applications are available in the Salt Lake Theological Seminary administration office.  Salt Lake Theological Seminary deeply appreciates those individuals and foundations who have contributed funds for student scholarships.
