********* Dear Student Applicant: Thank you for applying to Northwestern Theological Seminary. If accepted for enrollment, you will engage in a very effective and efficient educational program that will provide your educational credentials as a Christian professional. At Northwestern, we seek to eliminate redundancy in education which allows you to focus on specific subjects relative to your degree field in a 100% online learning environment. We want you to be enabled to remember what you study for future application in ministry and career. We do this through a process called the "analytical process of applied education," developed by our founder, Dr. Howard M. Sarkela. The following is VERY important information regarding your application and enrollment process with Northwestern Theological Seminary. We recommend that you carefully review the information provided below and print this page for future reference. ********************* IMPORTANT FIRST STEP - REQUIRED

WHAT HAPPENS NOW If you are currently enrolled in another school, nothing prevents you from earning two degrees simultaneously from separate colleges or seminaries. For example: You can begin a doctorate degree study at NTS now, even though you are currently completing a Master degree program elsewhere, or you can enroll now in a Master degree program at NTS while still completing your Bachelor degree elsewhere. However, your qualifying degree and transcripts must be provided prior to graduation at NTS. This is a common practice and allowed by most colleges, universities and seminaries. Even High school students are allowed to enroll and take college or university courses before graduating from high school. Once enrolled, your faculty advisor will provide your educational plan, and work with you as your educational guide leading to the attainment of your degrees. You will be required to provide a copy of any prior diploma or degree award along with appropriate transcripts, prior to graduation and receiving your degree from NTS Seminary. At enrollment, you will be setup on the NTSMoodle Course Management System. After completing your Orientation on the system, your assigned advisor will contact you with your program. If you will be transferring credits from previous education, your faculty advisor will require a list of educational courses which you have taken and a description of any appropriate ministry and life experience information relating to your degree field, in order to get you started while we wait on your transcripts and documentation. Therefore, based on your own written description of the courses that you may have already taken, you will be able to begin your degree program before we receive your actual transcripts and documentation. However, while not an urgent requirement, such documentation must be provided prior to graduation and award of your degree. Due to the high demand for our programs and because our staff reviews the files of every student that is accepted for admittance, please be patient as it is currently taking from 1 to 3 business days to respond to accepted Seminary applicants. Also, keep in mind that Administrative offices are closed on weekends and holidays. *********************
COMPLETING YOUR ENROLLMENT
Upon notification of acceptance, you may then proceed to submit your initial payment by opening the Seminary's 'Donations' page located at the Seminary website.
