In addition to attending Seminary chapel services, students may receive up to five (5) 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 $15 fee on his/her billing statement for each unattended chapel.  No make-ups are allowed, and no exceptions are granted to the Chapel Requirement Policy.  Please see the Catalog for additional details.

When chapel services are canceled by the seminary administration, the total number of required chapel services for the semester will be reduced accordingly. If you attend 24 chapels in a given semester, you may register the last week of that semester for 0.5 elective credit hours. You will complete a drop/add form and attach a check for $137.50 to receive credit. Credit will be posted for the current semester as WP 381-6 Worship and Preaching Practicum. A maximum of three hours (six semesters) total credit is allowed.
