Admissions Process

Teleo University is an educational institution for those who are already in vocational or bi-vocational pastoral ministry.  Before taking the following steps to apply we encourage you to carefully review the General Admissions Requirements page and review the Teleo University catalog.

Step 1: Join a T-Net Training Center Study Group

As an online educational institution, Teleo University provides student life and peer engagement by requiring students to participate in a local study group facilitated by T-Net International. In the study group, students collaborate with group members and complete many instructional activities. Visit www.finishprojectzero.com/transform to find a training center in your country or contact info@teleouniversity.org to find a T-Net Training Center study group there.

Step 2: Submit the Application, Fee, Recommendations, and Transcript(s)

Applicants must submit the following items through their T-Net Training Center study group facilitator in their country or directly to the Office of Admissions if so directed:

 

  1. Admission Application: Begin the application process by completing the online application as directed by a study group facilitator or admissions advisor.

  2. Acknowledge Agreement: Affirm agreement with Teleo University's Statement of Faith and agree to abide by the school's policies and program requirements by checking the appropriate boxes on the online application form.

  3. Government-Issued Photo ID: To confirm the student’s identity, name order, and correct spelling, submit a copy (scanned PDF, image, or photo) of an official government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, driver’s license, or other document issued by a government agency. If the student has had a name change, the school requires a copy of the legal document that shows the previous full name and the new legal name. Contact Admissions if no photo ID is available.

  4. Recommendations: Teleo University requires three recommendation forms for all new applicants. Provide the email contact information for your three references through the online Student Information System (SIS). Your three references will receive instructions by email and submit their recommendation confidentially through the SIS. ​

  • Recommendation 1: T-Net Trainer Peer Mentor. 

  • Recommendation 2: Personal Reference.

  • Recommendation 3: Local Ministry Practicum Sponsor.  

5. Transcript Evaluation: Teleo University must receive secondary school (high school), college, or university transcripts to review and evaluate. The evaluation confirms if the student qualifies to begin the program for which the student has applied. A copy of a college or university diploma or degree certificate is not accepted as a transcript. A transcript must list the courses completed and the corresponding credits received. When a previous educational institution accreditation cannot be verified, Teleo University may only admit a student on probation. If the student performs adequately for one year the probationary status may be removed. (NOTE: The Bachelor of Pastoral Ministry program requires transferring undergraduate credits earned at another school to supply the general education or theological credit hours needed to reach the required 120 credits to graduate.) To submit transcripts for evaluation:

  • Option 1: If your previous school offers official electronic (secure PDF) transcripts, request that your school send a copy to admissions@TeleoUniversity.org.

  • Option 2: Submit a notarized copy of your official transcript(s): 1) scan (PDF only) and upload the transcript document(s) through your online account, or 2) provide the transcript document(s) to your study group facilitator for document upload, or 3) if requested to do so, email the scanned (PDF only) transcript document(s) directly to admissions@teleouniversity.org.

  • Option 3: (USA only) If mailing a hard copy is the only option offered, have your official transcript sent to:

 

Teleo University
ATTN: Admissions
4879 West Broadway Ave
Minneapolis MN 55445 USA

 

Step 3: Receive a Notice of Acceptance

After Teleo University has received and processed your application fee and required documents, the admission office will send the applicant a notice of acceptance or non-admission. The admissions department will recommend an appropriate alternative program for students who do not qualify for a program.

 

Step 4: Pay the Required Application/Enrollment Fee

Bachelor’s and master’s students must submit a $50 (USD) non-refundable application/enrollment fee (NOTE: Diploma and Certificate students are NOT required to pay the $50 application/enrollment fee.)

 

Step 5: Pay Your Tuition and Proceed Through the Program

Teleo University enrolls students in online cohorts for their prescribed programs of 9 or 10 four-month consecutive academic terms (36 or 40 months). Registering each term is not required because of automatic enrollment for each term's prescribed courses. If you pay your tuition and earn passing grades, you will proceed automatically from one term to the next throughout the program.
