Registration
General registration takes place during the week before the beginning of the fall and spring semesters; early registration for fall semester occurs the preceding April, for the January intersession in early December, and for spring semester in the preceding October. Continuing students are expected to register for the next term during early registration, leaving general registration for making adjustments in the study program and for new students to register.

NOTE: You may not register unless your tuition for the previous semesters has been paid in full and payments for your rent and other obligations to the Seminary are up to date.

To register you must have:
Gold Registration Card/with label application for student health insurance or waiver and if needed for your study program Special Reading Course (SRC) forms for independent study; signed by instructor

Steps for registration:

1. To choose courses, consult the SFTS course lists and the GTU course schedule (which includes SFTS offerings as well as those of the other GTU schools). The most up-to-date version can be found on the web at www.gtu.edu click on Current Students, then Searchable Course Schedule. Talk to your advisor and the Registrar to make sure you are fulfilling requirements.
2. Record the courses that you wish to take on side two of the gold registration card. Fill out both sides of the card, giving your name, address, phone, email etc. on side one.
3. Get the required signatures on the card: A. from the Business Office, certifying that your account is clear and that you have the required health insurance coverage, B. from your advisor.
4. For courses with enrollment restrictions (limits on enrollment, faculty permission required), record the course on your card and contact instructor of the classes by email or by written note; indicate who you are, your degree program, year in the program, your preparation for the class and why you wish to take the course. After early registration, you will receive a print-out of your registration that indicates whether you were admitted to the restricted courses you requested. To register for a restricted course during general registration, you must have the instructor’s permission confirmed in writing or by email before you can be registered in the course.
5. Bring the registration card with the Business Office signature and any SRC forms (filled out and signed) to the Office of the Registrar by the announced deadline. Late registration incurs a fee.
6. Changes to your registration: Adjustments and corrections to your registration may be made without penalty until the end of the late registration period, usually the end of the second week of class. After that deadline, you must pay a $15 fee to make changes. No changes are allowed after the 10th week of class.

Transcripts
Official transcripts are issued by the Office of the Registrar in San Anselmo and may be sent to the student or to other designated individuals or institutions. Permission to release transcripts must be given in writing. SFTS cannot provide official copies of transcripts from other institutions. Students who wish their grades to be sent routinely to the Committees on Preparation for Ministry may request this service by filing a release form with the Registrar.

The first transcript after graduation or withdrawal from Seminary is provided free of charge; subsequent copies cost $5 each. No transcript will be issued for any student whose financial accounts with the Seminary are not clear.
