REQUIREMENTS FOR ENROLMENT
To be qualified to enrol as a Course Student, a person must
(a) hold the Australian Higher School Certificate or other equivalent, or
(b) be aged twenty-five or older*, and produce evidence of competence to undertake the Course (for example, a Referee’s Report - see below); and
(c) obtain a pass in the preliminary Unit 001 Effective Writing and Study, or produce evidence of having the knowledge and skills taught in this Unit, and having read (or be reading) the textbook by Fee and Stuart.
NOTE: in appropriate cases, permission may be granted by the Faculty, upon application by the student, for the student to be granted Provisional Enrolment and to study Effective Writing and Study at the same time as undertaking some other Subject Unit.
*Whilst this is the normal requirement, the Council may exercise a discretion to accept an enrolment from younger Candidates in appropriate circumstances.
PROCEDURE FOR ENROLMENT
To enrol, you are required to:
1. Complete the College’s Application For Enrolment form, giving personal and educational information.
2. Attach a one to two page description, written in your own handwriting, setting out details of your Christian testimony, your involvement in the life of your church, and your reasons for wishing to undertake further Christian study.
3. Attach two references, from (a) your pastor (or similar person), and (b) one other person who knows you well, confirming your Christian character and that in their judgement you will be able to undertake, and profit from, this Course of study that you have chosen.
4. Attach two small photographs, about passport size, of yourself alone. These may be black and white, or colour.

To be verified, a photocopy must have added to it the statement “I certify that this is a genuine and unaltered copy of the original document”, signed by your pastor or other responsible person from your church, together with their name and address and qualification to sign this statement.
If you are applying for exemption from any Subject Unit(s) on the basis of previous theological study with another institution, attach verified documentary evidence of the satisfactory completion of such study. This will include supplying official transcripts of all previous theological studies, together with full details of what was covered in each subject on the basis of which you are claiming exemption, the method of assessment, and the marks awarded to you and/or the level of your pass.
6. Pay the Student Enrolment Fee and the Fee for your first Subject Unit(s).
