In addition to attending Seminary chapel services, students may receive up to five chapel credits per semester by attending College chapels, Erskine Lunch-N-Learn lectures, stated meetings of one’s Presbytery, or required meetings of one’s Board of Ordained Ministry (or other official judicatory). In all cases, official written verification of attendance is required.
Any student who fails to attend the required number of chapels will incur a fee on his/her billing statement for each unattended chapel. No make-ups are allowed, and no exceptions are granted to this policy.
When chapel services are canceled by the seminary administration, the total number of required chapel services for the semester will be reduced accordingly.
If a student attends 24 chapels in a given semester, he/she may register the last week of that semester for 0.5 elective credit hours. He/she will submit a completed drop/add form to the Registrar’s Office indicating the appropriate course number (WP 781, 782, etc., in sequence depending upon previous chapel credits earned). The student’s account will be billed accordingly for 0.5 hour at the current tuition rate. A maximum of three hours (six semesters) total credit is allowed over the course of the student’s seminary career. |
