Testing/Evaluation

North Park Theological Seminary prepares men and women for ministry through both academic training and spiritual formation.   To that end, students are evaluated both in regards to their academic studies and to their readiness for ministry, both spiritually and emotionally.

Students must participate in a first-year evaluation. These evaluations do not occur until after a student has completed

** Where timing is appropriate, a SemConnect student should plan for this during a SemConnect Immersion. Otherwise, first-year evaluation will be scheduled for the first on-campus intensive after the student accumulates the minimum number of credits.

If you have further questions, or if you are a student and need to make arrangements for testing and / or evaluations, then please contact Seminary Student Services at semservices@northpark.edu.
