Graduate Theological Union

Protocols and Other Area-Related Material

GTU doctoral students must comply with policies and requirements included in the GTU Catalog in place at the time they matriculate into the doctoral program.  In general, the GTU Catalog describes “what” a student must do to earn a doctoral degree.  Area protocols include Area-specific requirements and policies, but also describe “how” students meet program requirements.  Area protocols change more frequently than Catalog content, therefore, students must comply with protocols in place at the time a student is ready to fulfill a particular requirement, providing a change in protocols doesn’t require a substantial delay in making satisfactory academic progress.  If SAP is at risk, the student must follow the Area protocol current at the time s/he matriculated into the program.

Below are links to GTU doctoral program Area protocols and other Area-related materials.  Also included is a link to Allied Field information for each doctoral Area.   Please alert the GTU Dean of Students right away if you find information that is outdated or otherwise inaccurate.  Continuing students can also find a copy of Area protocols and other Area-related materials on each Area’s Moodle site.
