textbooks and library resources
All of the textbooks in the seminary program are available for purchase through retailers such as Amazon and Barnes and Nobel. They are also often available for rent and sometimes can be found through local and college libraries. When possible, the seminary puts textbooks and other learning resources of tablets which some prisons make available.
ADMISSIONS
Pilgrim Seminary seeks to make higher education in Christian perspective available to as many people as possible. We strongly recommend that those who wish to enter our program as degree-seeking students will have already received a high school diploma or a GED. We do not require SAT or other standardized test scores for admission. The seminary has an open enrollment policy. All students who are not transferring credit from other institutions are admitted as Provisional Students. Upon the successful completion of nine credit hours, the Provisional Student status is removed.
The relationships of the seminary, inclusive of the Board of Governors, administration, faculty, staff, and students are reflected in the Pilgrim Seminary Covenant. This short agreement, which everyone who wishes to participate in the seminary community willingly accepts, helps guide and regulate our life together.
We the Board of Governors, administration, faculty, staff, and student body of Pilgrim Seminary promise to help one another:
Honor God by our words and actions, aspiring to love our Creator with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength.
Honor one another as children of God by treating others as we wish to be treated.
Do what is right in the eyes of God, setting our minds upon those things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable and whatever is excellent and praiseworthy.
Strive to mature in Christian love as we seek to remember that “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, and it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, nor does it keep a record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.”
Support the mission of the seminary by commitment to its ideals and helping to provide for its financial needs.

Cost of Participation
Pilgrim Seminary does not charge tuition. This, however, does not mean that the program is free. All students are encouraged to pledge and make a monthly donation to the program, as the Lord has enabled them, to help defray the cost of their education. This obligation is part of our shared Pilgrim Seminary Covenant.
When a person decides to become a Pilgrim student, he or she becomes part of a faith based educational community. As members of that community, we willingly assume the obligation to help finance the educational program from which we benefit. And, even more importantly, we assume the obligation to help one another grow in knowledge and faith and to continue on the path that leads to life eternal.
