FAQ: More on the Unclassified Student Program

Why is the unclassified student application program important for online students, especially those that live a great distance from Grace Theological Seminary?

The unclassified student application will allow you to take several seminary level courses without formally applying or being accepted to the seminary.  This program is extremely useful for those online students who live a long distance from Grace and that are considering taking a few seminary courses having first verified that the particular courses do not have any residential requirements.  For example, international students or those currently on the mission field may wish to begin taking online classes.  Or a student may wish to take an online class but not travel to Winona Lake to complete the 3 day residential requirement for a particular class in which that is required. 

The following is a list of the upcoming online courses which at the present time aren't planned to have any residential requirements.  These will only be available in certain semesters and then only after they have been created during the rollout of the online program.  See the distance ed web page for more information on the rollout schedule.
