Admission

There are several different types of financial aid available for qualifying students. JETS works hard to keep costs as low as possible for the students by soliciting donor gifts as subsidies.
Applications for financial aid must be submitted to the Financial Aid Committee and received by the same deadlines as the student applications. Forms can be obtained from the Admissions Office by email request at admissions@jets.edu.
All students receiving scholarship funds (either tuition or living) are required to complete reports for the Development Department when requested. Our Development Department works hard to make sure students pay only a fraction of the actual cost of their education.

We welcome anyone considering attending JETS to make a visit to our campus. We have morning chapel at least three times a week throughout the year and also other events that would give visitors an opportunity to get a firsthand look at what student life is like. Please inform the Student Department in advance of your visit so that it can be coordinated.

The kind of men and women that we are looking to enroll are those who have a sense of God’s calling to be equipped for effective ministry in the church and Christian organizations, have a clear testimony of a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, demonstrate Christ-like character, and agree with JETS’ Statement of Faith. Currently there are several different classifications of students at JETS as defined below. The exact admissions procedures vary according to the chosen status of the applicant. 

Full-time Students

Full-time students are those who enroll in a specific academic program and are committed to complete the program within its designed time frame. A full-time schedule is considered as a minimum of 32 credit hours per year and committed to participate in all the programs and activities of the seminary. If a student receiving a living scholarship drops any of their scheduled courses during their study for any reason, causing a delay of their original graduation date, their living scholarship will not be extended beyond the original graduation date and may be postponed during the semester where the student falls below full-time status. Any appeals to this policy must be made in writing by the student and received by the Student Department. The matter will then be referred to the Financial Aid Committee (FAC) and considered on a case-by-case basis. Exceptions are rare. Scheduling courses for full-time students is the responsibility of the JETS Registrar. 

Part-time Students

Part-time students are those who have enrolled in one of JETS’ academic programs but are not able to take all of the courses required in the sequence or at the time they are scheduled to be offered. Thus, part-time students may take four or five years to complete a program designed to be completed in two years by full-time students. This status allows students to complete a program at their own pace. Please note that academic credits that exceed ten years from the date of course completion may not be accepted for credit consideration. Part-time students are not eligible for a living scholarship. Scheduling courses for part-time students is the responsibility of the student. 

Auditing Students

Any student, whether on full-time, part-time, or visiting status, may enroll in any of JETS courses as an auditor for the level of study he or she is eligible for (high school, bachelor, or master). This means that the student does not have to complete any of the course requirements. It also means that he will not receive any academic credit on their transcript. This classification allows the student to benefit from course content and discussions without the time commitment that course requirements demand. 

Visiting Students

Visiting students are those who do not wish to enroll in a specific program at JETS but rather desire to take courses of their choosing. If a student is accepted as a visiting student, they may either take courses for credit or on an audit basis at the level they are eligible for (bachelor, master or doctoral). If the student chooses the latter, the course will have to be repeated in its entirety in order to gain academic credit. Visiting students are not eligible for a living scholarship. Scheduling courses for visiting students is the responsibility of the student. 

JETS offers options for study time that include day, night, online and church based. These options are offered for certain programs and for certain faculty, and with the approval of the administration. 

Day Time

The largest program at JETS is the Day Program in person that runs every day except Friday and Sunday, and from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 

Evening

The evening program provides courses after 5:00 p.m. for the M.A.B.S. students. 

Online

The online option provides the opportunity for students to take courses at a distance through online video conferencing. Student applications for this option are treated on a case-by-case basis especially to those that cannot come to the campus for security, physical or other issues. All distance learning students must attend the full class in the same way that the regular students do. They must be physically present and sitting in front of the screen as if they were sitting in the classroom as a regular student in front of the Professor. Driving, walking, or working at the same time as the class, is not permitted. However, online students are not eligible for living scholarships.

Church-Based

JETS provides an off-campus program for a maximum of 64 credit hours under the umbrella of local churches. This program is convenient to those who live far away from the JETS campus or have no ambition for longer, deeper study at higher levels.

JETS offers all of its programs either in-person on-campus, or virtually online. The following explains the differences and similarities between the two as well as the rules for attendance for each.

Differences and Similarities

1. Students can be admitted into JETS as either on-campus or online, whether full-time or part-time.
2. Living scholarships are available only to full-time on-campus students and not to online students whether full-time or part-time.
3. All rules and policies apply equally to on-campus and to online studies including policies regarding attendances and absences of courses, attendance of Chapel and field ministries.

Commitment to Status

1. Students admitted into JETS as on-campus students are not permitted to attend any course or any class online for any reason. These students are required to be on-campus throughout the semester and are not permitted to study online. If on-campus students attend a lecture online, the policy for student absences apply as explained below under the title “Probation and Discipline.
2. Students admitted into JETS as part-time students are permitted to take any course either online or on-campus provided that they continue throughout their studies in the status they chose. They cannot change status after the permitted period.
3. For more information on the rules for absences, see below under the heading “Student Absences” within the subject of “Probation and Discipline.”
4. Other cases are treated on a case-by-case basis with the approval of the Academic Committee.

Exceptions During the Summer

1. A married full-time on-campus student, while his/her family lives outside Jordan, may take courses online during the summer only if he/she desires to spend the summer with his/her family in his/her home country.
2. A single full-time on-campus student may take only one course online during the summer if he/she desires to spend the summer in his/her home country.
3. In the above two cases, the expenses are the responsibility of the student, and the student must coordinate with the Student Department regarding work-study hours.
