Admissions

Special Students

Special student status is a restricted category of admission for persons who do not have need of a degree program and who desire access to the rich offerings of the Divinity School curriculum for specific purposes. Courses are taken for credit.

Special student status may be granted after a person has submitted an application and all transcripts of undergraduate academic work and when all three letters of recommendation have been received from listed references.

Completed applications (application and all supporting credentials) for special student status must be submitted by July 1 for August enrollment. Special student status is valid for one academic year beginning in August.

Special students must reapply each year. Special students are ineligible for any form of financial assistance through the Divinity School.
