In order to qualify for entrance into HTC, it is required that the prospective student be a professing Christian whose Christian character has been demonstrated and observed in the context of the local church. A letter of recommendation from the applicant's church leadership or pastor to this effect is considered essential and therefore required.
For students who want to work towards the Bachelor of Theology, the minimum requirements are 5 O Levels, one of which must be English Language as English is the primary means of communication at HTC and 2 A Levels.
For students who want to work towards one of the Diploma courses, the minimum requirements are 5 O Levels, one of which must be English Language as English is the primary means of communication at HTC.
There are no academic requirements for the Foundations Certificate. Similarly, those who merely wish to attend a class for non-academic purposes do not have to have O Levels.
Mature entry exceptions can be made for an applicant who does not have the necessary academic entrance requirements. Please speak to the Registrar about this.
All prospective students will be expected to write an HTC entrance exam and sit for an interview before an admissions committee once all documentation has been completed and submitted. After the prospective student has been interviewed, a final decision will be made on the suitability of the applicant for studies at HTC. A letter from the Registrar will notify the applicant of the admissions committee's decision.
All new students must attend a mandatory new student orientation held at the start of each term.
Application Fee: When a student applies to study at HTC, an application fee must be paid in order for the application to be processed.
Tuition Fees: Students pay a deposit for each course they are registering for at the time of registration. Term fees are due the first night of classes. Students unable to pay the entirety of the term's fees by the first night of class must arrange an approved payment schedule from the school's administrator before the first night of classes. A current schedule of fees is available upon request from the Registrar.
Graduation Fees: Students pay a fee for each certificate/diploma earned and must either hire a graduation gown from the college before the graduation ceremony or bring one that conforms to college standards.
Other Costs: Most courses have an adequate supply of course texts available for loan while enrolled in the course and come with a comprehensive note packet for future reference, but students will need funds for personal study supplies.
Financial Aid: The college may be able to provide some financial aid to selected students. New students are generally not given financial aid until they have completed their first term and their potential has been observed. Students desiring financial aid should make application in writing to the administrator on forms provided at the reception desk. Our desire at HTC is to provide theological education for as many as possible.
