Admission Deposit
A nonrefundable admission deposit of
$100 is required of all students enrolling
at Candler School of Theology. This
deposit is required by May 1 for fall
admission, or within three weeks of
notification of admission to the degree
program after May 1, in order to secure
the student’s place in the program. The
deposit will be posted as a credit to the
student’s Emory University account;
students who pay the deposit but fail to
enroll will forfeit the deposit.
English for Speakers
of Other Languages
Students whose first language is not
English, regardless of citizenship or
TOEFL scores, will be required to participate
in a written assessment before
Candler’s fall orientation. Those whose
assessments indicate a need for additional
work in written communication will be
required to take TESL300, English as a
Second Language–Written Skills, in the
fall semester. An oral assessment also
will be required later in the fall semester.
Those whose assessments indicate a need
for additional work in oral communication
will be required to take TESL301,
English as a Second Language–Oral
Skills, in the spring semester. Although
offered for credit, TESL courses are
graded on an S/U basis and will not be
counted toward curriculum requirements
for graduation. Students for whom
enrollment in TESL courses leads to
an extension of a degree program may
request scholarship assistance for enrollment
in summer or additional fall or
spring semesters. ESOL tutors are available
to meet with students throughout
the academic year. For more information
contact the program associate for academic
and international support.
