Admission Requirements

Summit Pacific College Distance Education programs are intended for mature students who, due to life circumstances, are unable or are unlikely to be able to attend the Abbotsford campus. Summit Pacific College reserves the right to deny acceptance.

When submitting the Application for Admission the student must include the non-refundable Application for Admission fee of $50.00.

  • A definite experience of Christian conversion is required of all who are admitted to the College. It is highly recommended that the applicant is a practicing Christian in a local church for at least one year.
  • Evidence of a sound Christian character is expected. Applicants must be living in accordance with accepted Christian standards and be free from worldly habits and practices. Applicants are expected to be free from the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco or non-prescription drugs for one year prior to applying for admission.
  • The applicant must provide information about involvement in ongoing Christian service within the church or community. A Student Ministry Self Placement form is included with Application for Admission packet. Ministry leaders will be contacted annually for an assessment of the student's involvement. Students are required to submit an updated Student Ministry Self Placement form each September. The student's pastor will be asked to provide an additional assessment of the student prior to approval for graduation.
  • Applicants for the Bachelor of Theology Degree (B.Th.) and Pastoral Ministries Diploma programs must be at least 25 years of age. (This restriction does NOT apply to students who registering for RoMER Certificate and Leadership Certificate programs. Students accumulating credits in preparation for attending Summit Pacific College as an on-campus student, students enrolled as a Campus Missionary in Training with University Christian Ministries or students taking individual courses without attempting to complete a particular program are also exempt from this requirement.)
  • Applicants are to be high school graduates with Canadian Grade 12 or its equivalent in U.S. or overseas systems.
  • Applicants who did not complete high school will be assessed on an individual basis by the Admissions Committee. Whenever possible, high school studies should be renewed and graduation achieved. In some cases an equivalency exam may be arranged (G.E.D.).
