Interrupted Status (Stopping Out)
In very exceptional cases when conditions beyond students’ control prevent enrollment in seminars or working on the Ministry Research Project, a student may apply for interrupted status. Interrupted status may be guaranteed for up to one year, after which the student will need to reapply for admission. Please note that students are not guaranteed the ability to be re-admitted to their concentration the next year, as cohorts are only offered “by demand”.
Interrupted status must be granted on a semester by semester basis by the Director of the DMin Program. If interrupted status is not granted and students do not register for doctoral study, they are automatically dropped from the program and must reapply for admission. Previous admission to the program is not a guarantee of readmission. Interrupted status could significantly delay graduation and may involve an extension of studies and a sizeable continuation fee.
