Registration for Courses at Other Institutions and Twin Cities Seminaries

Graduate Students

Students who are registered at Bethel University may take courses at other institutionally accredited institutions for transfer credit if they have prior consent of the program director and student success advisor. Credits will be transferred according to Graduate School transfer credit policies in this catalog.

Seminary Students

Because Bethel Seminary is a member of the Minnesota Consortium of Theological Schools (Bethel Seminary, Luther Theological Seminary, St. John’s Divinity School, The St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity, and United Theological Seminary), full-time degree students may take courses at these member institutions. To do so they should:

  1. Complete the consortium registration form found on bethel.edu/registrar/forms;
  2. Return the completed form to the registrar's office;
  3. Pay the tuition rate of Bethel Seminary; and 
  4. Ensure that the consortium registrar sends a transcript back to Bethel.

Courses taken at a consortium school must be electives only. Required courses may not be taken without approval through the Academic Petition process.
