ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
APPLICANTS WITH SPECIAL
ADMISSIONS
Students who have accessibility or learning needs are encouraged to contact the Office of Academic Services to find out how Boyce College can help address those needs. A student enrolled full-time at another accredited institution may enroll at Boyce College for a limited period (usually one term or semester) upon the recommendation of the dean and registrar of the student's home institution.
OBTAINING APPLICATION
For the sake of continuing and further education, a person can apply for admission as a specialist student through a shortened process. A proctor is defined as a student who participates in classroom experiences but is not graded for assignments completed.
APPLICATION DEADLINES
Non-Southern Baptist students, however, pay tuition fees that are double the amount paid by Southern Baptist students (denominational affiliation at the time of registration determines registration fees). This fee structure was created because of the source of much of Southern Seminary's income - the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention through its affiliate program.
