Transfer Students
LTSS welcomes transfer students to join our community.
Students who wish to transfer from other theological schools must provide a letter of honorable dismissal from their previous institution and complete the application process to Southern Seminary.
A student transferring credit from another accredited school must present an official transcript to be reviewed by the Dean. Only courses which contribute to the student’s degree program, are relevant to the prescribed curriculum, and are ten years old or less in which the student earned a minimum grade of “C” will be considered for transfer credit.
Up to one-half of the transferable credits for a completed degree may be allowed, i.e., one year’s coursework from a two-year program or three semesters coursework from a three-year program. A minimum of two semesters of academic work as a full-time student is required to receive a degree from Southern Seminary.
Although an initial, tentative evaluation of the transcript can be requested prior to being admitted into a program, the final evaluation of the transcript will not be completed until the student is fully admitted into a degree program.
