Admission Requirements
All new students should note that the following will be required
before they can be admitted to GIAL:
- A completed GIAL Application form,
accompanied by a non-refundable application fee, payable
to GIAL (an additional non-refundable late fee is charged for applications not received
six (6) weeks before the beginning of the course.) Students are recommended to apply by April 15 for the fall bimester and by October 15 for the spring bimester. Applications are good for one year from the first bimester of intended entry. The student must matriculate within this year or a new application form and fee will be required.
- Official copies of all post-high school transcripts where courses were taken toward a degree or pertaining to an expected GIAL study program. GIAL will only recognize prior degrees from regionally accredited institutions of higher education, or from institutions accredited by the American Theological Society (ATS), or the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).
Applicants with academic records from outside the United States will usually be required to send official transcripts directly from the educational institution to GIAL and to a Credential Evaluation Service to verify U.S. equivalency. The service that GIAL recommends is Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. (www.ece.org). When sending a request to ECE, please request a course-by-course evaluation. Other evaluation services will be accepted on approval by GIAL.
- Personal and character references from three individuals (non-family
members), using the GIAL Reference
forms provided (print 3 copies per application).
- Written statement of purpose
- Where appropriate for non-native speakers of English, evidence of satisfactory performance on the TOEFL exam or on the IELTS test.
