ADVANCED STANDING (EXCEL)
Students who believe they are competent in a required seminary course may apply to take an EXCEL exam to have the required course waived and receive entry into upper level course work. To be eligible to take an EXCEL exam, a student is to have earned an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale and have earned a grade of B (3.0) or higher in the course under consideration.
Application for an EXCEL exam is made through the Registrar's Office and is to be made at least two weeks prior to the examination date. A nonrefundable fee of $25 is charged for each exam taken. Payment is due in advance or at the time of the examination. Examinations will be graded on a pass/fail basis.
Applicants to Midwestern and currently enrolled students may schedule to take examinations prior to the first day of classes each semester. Current college students may receive advanced standing prior to admission by sending a letter of proficiency from the college Dean or Department Chair, a transcript, a copy of the final exam from the equivalent course, and a ten-page paper on the subject being considered for advanced standing. The paper is graded pass/fail by a seminary professor in the specific area.
