Graduation Planning

Are you anticipating graduating in May?  If so, we are excited to celebrate the completion of your studies with you! 

Did you know that you need to apply for graduation?  You do! 

Many details about graduation and the online application can be found on the seminary website.  Following application submission, you will receive an official graduation audit from Seminary Academic Services. This audit will outline any remaining requirements that you have left to complete. Remember all three components of your degree (academics, field education and VSFL) must be complete. Portfolios will need to be finished in your final semester.

If you plan to enter the Call Process with the ECC, please be in contact with Dean Deb Auger.  If you are local, there is a weekend course that is required (FLDC 7319). If you are not local, you will want to coordinate with Deb to prepare for interviews with superintendents.  Please do this as soon as possible.

Here are some important dates to put in your calendar as you map out your final year.  Congrats!
