No credit is accepted which has been applied to another received degree. No candidate for the Seminary’s degree shall have spent less than one full year of academic residence at the Seminary. The Seminary will accept Senior transfer students from other seminaries (1) if they are highly qualified, (2) if they plan to be resident students rather than commuter students, and (3) if there is room without taking space needed for the incoming Junior class.
