Requests for transcript (official or unofficial) are made in writing to the Registrar’s Office. The student’s signature and applicable fees are required before the transcript is produced. Incomplete grades (I) or Extension of Time grades (E) will be changed to F on all official transcripts. No transcript will be issued to a student (current or former) if the student has an unpaid balance with the Seminary's Business Office . A transcript request form is on the Seminary’s website (www.ptseminary.edu) under the Alumni heading.
Students anticipating graduation must submit an Application for Graduation to the Office of the Vice President for Academics no later than the last day of final exams in the Fall term for Spring graduation and September 15 for December graduation. A completed degree program progress sheet, signed by the student and his or her advisor, must accompany the graduation application. No application will be accepted after March 1 for Spring graduation or after October 1 for December graduation.
The graduation fee is payable at the time of application. The fee is not prorated and non-participation does not exempt a graduate from any part of the fee. Late applicants will be assessed a late fee and there is no guarantee of participation in the graduation ceremony. A graduate who has already completed one degree at Pentecostal Theological Seminary and is now completing another degree is required to apply for graduation and pay the graduation fee. Graduation applications are available online.
Graduates will not receive diplomas or release of transcripts until all grades are submitted to the Registrar’s Office and all financial accounts are cleared with the Seminary and Squires Library. If this happens after graduation, graduates will be required to make necessary arrangements for receiving their diploma through the Office of the Vice President for Academics. There will be an extra charge if the diploma is mailed.
