Courses out of Sequence
Courses out of Sequence (COS) are regular courses in the NPTS curriculum taken on an independent basis. When a student confirms with the Seminary Academic Services Office that a particular course is required for program completion but is unavailable in a timely manner, the student may be eligible to take a COS. Academic Services personnel work with the student, the academic field, and course instructor to determine how the COS is to proceed.
- A COS is only approved if a course required for degree completion is unavailable and if the Seminary budget allows.
- Students must submit an instructor-approved syllabus after the registration request has been approved.
- Students must demonstrate to the professor’s satisfaction that requirements have been fulfilled prior to grade submission.
