Evaluation of Prior Learning

​

​

Students who have completed their college, university education, including Theological education, and have previous ministerial experience may receive advance credits for recognition of their work.

 

​

Ministerial experience is recognized up to a maximum award of 60 credits for full-time ordained ministers and licensed ministers and 30 credits for lay leaders. This requires the submission of transcripts, certificates, diplomas and/or a ministerial resume to the CLST Global Office for evaluation.

 

​

The advance credits awarded through this procedure are used to help the student in completing his or her program of study.

 

​

If the Program of Study’s degree point has been reached or passed, the student may apply for the award of the next appropriate degree.

 

 

There is a fee of $25 per credit awarded for ministerial experience and unaccredited theological education.
