Admission

Enrollment

Academic Load

Residential students enrolled in the one-year Diploma in Expository Preaching (DEP) program must maintain full-time status each trimester. Students enrolled in the Biblical Studies Certificate (BSC) program are expected to complete their coursework within one year.

If extenuating circumstances arise and the student expects that he will be unable to complete the distance program in the alloted time, he must submit a request in writing explaining the circumstances preventing this goal. Upon review by the 3M Preaching Institute staff, an extension may or may not be granted to the student.

Registration

The 3M Preaching Institute designates a period each year to register for the following school year. All students will be notified by e-mail (or phone call) regarding the registration information (i.e., class schedules, instructions, and any other reminders). Registration cannot be completed until financial obligations have been completed with the student finance office.
