Seminar Registration Form
 YOU
CAN JUMP-START your degree program or accelerate
your degree completion time by attending one or more
of these group learning events. Held at
various locations throughout the year, these
seminars have been the ideal option for hundreds of
students. The benefits of attending go far
beyond the degree program objective. The
spiritual component of the seminars is an intangible
that is difficult to precisely describe, but most
students come away with a renewed sense of vision
not unlike a revival of passion and commitment to
their ministry calling. In addition, you will
have an opportunity to meet other students, and form
friendships that will last a lifetime!

QUICK
OVERVIEW
OF THE ACCELERATED LEARNING SEMINARS
Accelerated Learning Seminars are an
additional learning alternative provided for the
benefit of those individuals who find some
face-to-face instruction helpful. Students
enrolled in a regular off-campus program
are NOT required to attend a Seminar in order to
complete their degree program. Though the
Seminar method of study may not appeal to
everyone, for some, it is an ideal supplement.
Most students who elect to attend Accelerated
Seminars do so after enrolling in the standard
distance education program, deciding later to
substitute one or more of the standard courses
in their program. However, it is possible at the
time of enrollment to indicate your interest in
the Accelerated Seminar option. In fact,
depending upon the degree major, it may be
possible to complete an entire degree program by
attending Accelerated Seminars.
The regular
low-cost tuition is for off-campus or online,
non face-to-face instruction. When
face-to-face
instruction is offered, which enables the
student to complete the requirements for the
course through an Accelerated Seminar, it is
necessary to charge a Fee. Most students
appreciate that the dynamics of on-site
instruction and the time-savings, more than
offset and justify the Seminar Fee. In
addition, Seminar teaching faculty are carefully
selected in order to provide a unique learning
experience. In most cases, one would not
otherwise have an opportunity to study
face-to-face with such highly accomplished
individuals.
Accelerated Seminars are scheduled with the
general student body in mind. This allows
most students to qualify for one or more of the
Seminars. Seminars that fall within
the student's degree discipline, or qualify as
an elective, may be used to replace one or more
of the core courses in a curriculum.
Seminars are held in a variety of venues. The
most common are one or more day venues with a
varying amount of pre-seminar and post-seminar
assignments required, depending on the type of
seminar. Most Seminars are limited to a class
size of between 15-20. This allows the students
and professors close interaction. To earn your
course credits through an Accelerated Seminar
you will complete the following steps:
1. Complete the pre-seminar assignments.
2. Attend the Seminar and complete the
in-seminar assignments.
3. Following the seminar (depending on the type
of seminar), you may also complete post-seminar
work, though some seminars do not have
post-seminar assignments.
If you believe you would benefit by attending an
Accelerated Seminar, we hope as you review the
following schedule, you will find a
Seminar that is right for you!
