Non-degree Students

There are three categories of non-degree students: evening school students, audit students and special students.

• Evening school students: These are students enrolled in non-credit evening courses or certificate programmes, namely, the Certificate in Christian Studies and the Certificate of Music Ministry. Evening school students are expected to fulfill course work requirements

• Audit Students: Degree students and alumni may audit courses with permission of the lecturer and academic dean. Audit students are required to maintain regular attendance but no course work is assigned and no academic credit is given.

• Special Students: Alumni and those who are actively involved in Christian ministry and who wish to pursue a specific area of study may apply to enroll as special students. Special students need to meet the pre-requisites for the courses they chose.

  
  For School of Theology English, credits earned may be transferable if equivalent, and if transferred within three years. Special students may study for a maximum of two consecutive semesters and they may take up to 6 credit hours per semester.
