Academic Advising

Established degree pathways are provided for each program and pace (full-time, part-time), detailing course sequences for students across the entirety of their degree program. Corresponding registration reminders are provided by email prior to each new semester. Students are ultimately responsible for the completion of their program requirements and for determining alternate registrations, in conversation with their academic advisor, if departing from the planned pathway. Student academic planning resources include:

  • The Seminary academic catalog which details the individual degree programs with corresponding pathways, certificates, and course descriptions, as well as academic policies.
  • The Seminary website which provides assistance with detailed course offerings, degree programs, and curriculum management.
  • Faculty advisors who can provide assistance with course planning, preparation, and completion.
  • The Student Planning function of Self-Service.
  • The Seminary Academic Services Office in Nyvall Hall, (773) 244-6217 or semacademicserv@northpark.edu.

All degree and certificate-seeking students are assigned a faculty advisor who can be called upon for guidance and encouragement and with questions in relation to course planning, the ECC call process, vocational discernment, and general questions about seminary. Visiting students may contact the Seminary Academic Services Office for advising. Students wishing to request a change of advisor should contact Seminary Academic Services.
