Registration Information
A registration form is required in order to register for courses. Advisor signatures are no longer required on forms. The student and the academic advisor should discuss in some form of communication the student's course plan for the upcoming semester. Once a student has selected courses, she or he must complete and sign the registration form.
Early Registration
Students uncertain of their financial balances from previous semesters should contact the Business Office prior to registration.
After contact with the Business Office, completed registration forms can be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the Registrar. All necessary forms, especially those pertaining to financial aid must be included with the registration. During the "no money down" registration period, students will receive a confirmation of their student schedule from the Registrar. The schedule will also indicate when the first and second tuition payments are due.
Regular Registration
After the Business Office verifies a student's financial status, the student can complete the registration process. During this registration period, the student is responsible for all fees and 50% of the student's portion of the full tuition. The Registrar will send out a confirmation of the student schedule.
Late Registration
During the late registration period, forms must be accompanied with full payment that includes all fees and 100% of the student's portion of the tuition.
Completed forms can be mailed or delivered in person to the Business Office. Faxed forms will not be accepted unless previous payment arrangements have been made with the Business Office.
Once the Business Office verifies the student's financial status, the Registrar will register the student for the courses selected and provide a confirmed class schedule.
Official date of receipt includes:
- U.S. Postmark
- FAX date stamp
- Personal delivery accepted through the close of the SHMS' business day (Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.).
Those seeking first time commuter status should contact the Admissions Office through the Institute for Ministry at (313) 883-8520.
Consortium Registration
For SHMS college students taking courses at a Detroit Area Catholic Higher Education Consortium Institution, or for graduate students taking courses through the Detroit Area Seminary Consortium, an additional form, available at the Registrar's Office, must be completed.
Guest Student Policy
Students currently enrolled in a program at another institution of higher education may register for SHMS courses by completing a Michigan Uniform Guest Application (undergraduate or graduate). The student obtains this form through their home institution.
Add/Drop Policy
Students may add or drop courses or change their course status during the fi rst week of the semester only. This must be done in writing through the Registrar. A course dropped during this week will not appear on the transcript.
Withdrawal Policy
Withdrawal from a class must be done in writing through the Registrar. Students who do not officially drop or withdraw from a course will receive a failing grade for that course which is entered on the student's academic transcript. Last date for withdrawal in a given term is listed on the academic calendar.
Credit Load Status
Within each school students are accorded full time status on the basis of their credit load in that semester. Undergraduate - 12 credits or more. Graduate – 9 credits or more.
Post Master Audit
SHMS encourages graduates to maintain a commitment to lifelong theological and pastoral education. To that end, SHMS offers a post-master audit rate to alumni from the School of Theology of SHMS or St. John Provincial Seminary. Qualifying alumni may audit one course per term for $100.00, plus applicable fees. This includes library privileges. Post Master Audit status and the applicable tuition rate should be clearly marked on the registration form.
