Enrollment Steps – Other Denominations
Below is a checklist to help you keep track of all the steps in the certification process.
Steps for New Students Who Have Not Yet Taken a Course
The Theological School at Drew University offers numerous courses related to camp and retreat Ministries. Before a student can register for classes, he or she must apply to be a student at the school and be accepted.
To apply as a Drew student:
Fill-out the "Application for Admission–Non-Degree Programs" unless you are planning to incorporate certification into a specific degree. If so, please contact Anne Yardley, assistant dean, at ayardley@drew.edu or 973-408-3647 or 973-408-3419 to get clear instructions before proceeding. If you apply online, the application fee is waived. The non-degree application form can be found at www.drew.edu/theo-content.aspx?id=11607
You can get a copy of the non-degree application form from Anne Yardley (ayardley@drew.edu or 973-408-3647 or 973-408-3419). However, if you mail the form, you must include an application fee.
Receive confirmation from Drew that your application has been accepted and send back to Drew a one-time admissions fee that will be outlined for you in your confirmation. This fee may change, but typically it is in the $50-$100 range.
