Welcome to the Distance Learning division of Chafer Theological Seminary! For students unable to move to our campus, these new and expanding courses are an extraordinary means for equipping themselves for the work of the ministry.

                        

Policies and Procedures

Application
Before beginning a course, a student must be admitted to Chafer Theological Seminary. Distance Learning courses are offered for credit only; therefore, an applicant must complete the DEGREE AND NONDEGREE APPLICATION. Go to the Application Page

How It Works
After the student has been accepted to Chafer Theological Seminary, he or she will receive a student ID number, which is required for registration in our distance learning courses. Within two business days of registering for a distance learning course, the student will be assigned a user name and password required to access and download the course content (which is currently in PDF format). Each course consists of 14 units accompanied by assignments, which may include quizzes, tests, short essays, and term papers. Students are encouraged to communicate with the instructor regularly.

Tuition and Fees
	Tuition: $100.00 per credit hour     Registration Fee: $15.00     Student Services Fee: $3 per credit hour

 
Registration
In order to register, the student must fill out the registration form and mail it to: Chafer Theological Seminary, 1800 E. La Veta Ave., Orange, CA 92866, or fax it to (714) 288-1526. The student must also submit a full payment for the course. The payment may be mailed to the above address or made through PayPal on our web site. To pay by credit card or through PayPal, please click on the payment button for each course. The registration form will be processed upon the receipt of payment.

Deadlines
A student must complete the course within one year of registering for the course.

Withdrawing from the Course
A student may drop the course without academic penalty during the first six months after registering for the course. Students who withdraw after this time will receive a grade of "WF" (Withdrew Failing). Students who do not complete or formally withdraw from the course automatically receive an "F" at the completion of the year. To withdraw from the course, the student must complete Schedule Change Form.

Course Extensions
The student who is unable to complete the course within one year after registration may request an extension by submitting the Extension Request Form and the fee of $50.00 at least 4 weeks prior to the deadline for the completion of the course. Extensions are granted upon the instructor’s and the president’s approval. Decisions regarding extensions are made on a case-by-case basis. The length of the extension, if granted, will not exceed 6 weeks after the deadline for the completion of the course. The grade for the class for which a student receives an extension will be lowered by a full letter grade.

Changing from Credit to Audit
Distance Learning courses may not be changed from credit to audit.

Refund Policy
Once the student has registered for the course and made the payment, he or she will receive no refund.
