Academic Policies and Information
Schedule Changes All schedule changes must be made by the student through the Registrar’s Office. After the first full week, all changes must be approved by the Registrar. Withdrawals from courses are not permitted after mid-term except for reasons of health or unusual circumstances. Students are academically and financially responsible for all courses for which they register. Student Portal Students will access their class schedules, grade reports, billing statements, etc. via a Student Portal which is located on the seminary website under Academics. Every student will have their own User ID and Password to enter the portal and this information is provided to students by the Registrar. Students will also be able to register for classes and see how they are progressing through their program by reviewing the degree audit area. The audit will indicate clearly what requirements students have completed, what is in progress and what may be left to complete. Master of Divinity and Alternate Route students will see that the pre-seminary courses and hours have been added to the total number of credits needed to complete their programs. Textbooks and Supplies Textbooks and other school supplies are purchased by the student. Since most of the books will constitute the individual’s future professional library, the seminary does not offer a textbook rental system. Textbook purchases are now available only online at ctsfw.textbookx. com. Orders shipped to CTS can be picked up in the Bookstore. The cost of books and supplies for the various degree programs can be found on the seminary’s financial aid webpage listed under Cost of Attendance. Students are encouraged to build their own personal libraries in addition to the purchase of the required textbooks. Costs for such books, as well as reference works, are not included in the listed amount for books and supplies on the Cost of Attendance. Veterans Concordia Theological Seminary is approved for the instruction and training of veterans under Section 1775, Title 38, U.S. Code and Public Law 95-202 by the Indiana State Approving Agency. We participate in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) work-study program by having a student representative who assists students that are eligible for veterans benefits.
