This page covers important information for students on the Westchester campus and will affect your financial aid, department grants and registration. 

Please follow the 5 steps below.

1. Week of October 19th:


Attend a graduate advisement session (25 minutes) held at 3:30 pm in U Hall 3767. Sessions will be held Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; choose your day. This will give you new information about courses, financial support and essential items for registration for Spring and Summer.  Your advisor will expect that you have attended one of these sessions. 


 2.  Between Now and November 9th:

You need to contact and meet with your Theological Studies faculty advisor. Use the appropriate Course Checklist for your program (on our website: http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/theology/graduate click “Graduate Programs,” click “Current Student” scroll down to “Forms” for Course Checklist and Program Requirements Bulletin).  Keep a copy and give your advisor a copy.  This Course Checklist & Program Requirement page will be necessary and helpful for meetings with your advisor. We will announce our group advisement dates next week. 

 3. Registration is Scheduled to Begin on November 16th, 2009:

You should register for Fall courses online in the usual way.  The Registrar has set advance registration to begin on November 16, 2009 at 8:00 a.m.  [Note:  Please check the Registrar's Office Website and/or Prowl, as they may change this date as we come closer to registration time. You will be unable to register before the Registrar's determined date.]  You may obtain registration instructions via our website http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/theology/graduate scroll down to “Registration,” click “Registration and Prowl Login Guide.”

 4. By 3 PM on Friday October, 30th:

Send completed Theology Department Grant forms to Jennifer Scott by October 30.  You are applying for both Spring and Summer grants (even though the Summer schedule is not available at the moment, you may indicate the number of units that you plan on registering in).  Theology Department Grant forms 2009-2010 are available on our website http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/theology/graduate  (to find the form, click “Graduate Programs,” click “Current Student,” scroll down to “Scholarships & Financial Aid”).  Make sure you indicate the number of units you plan to enroll in for both Spring and Summer semesters.

Note:  The Department Grant form is the ONLY Financial Aid form that goes to Jennifer Scott; see below for further instructions: 

 5. Submit the following items below directly to Financial Aid Office. (NOT to THST Department)

UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENT: For ALL grants and financial aid, you MUST complete the following items:

(a) FAFSA application (apply online) http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

(b) 2009-2010 Financial Aid Application form is posted on our website (scroll down to “Financial Aid” to find form) http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/theology/graduate

      Note:  submit this form directly to the Graduate Financial Aid Office

Submit Summer 2010 Graduate Calculations of Charges Agreement worksheet directly to the Student Accounts Department.

You may find the Fall and Spring 2010 Graduate Calculations of Charges Agreement  form via our website  http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/theology/graduate (click “Graduate Programs,” click “Current Student” scroll down to “Scholarships & Financial Aid” click this icon, scroll down and click: “Student Accounts Department,” click “Download Forms & Brochures” or submit online by clicking “Online Calculation of Charges Agreement-Graduate”).

Students who have attended one advisement session, contacted their faculty advisor and who have completed the other steps above will be eligible first for department grant awards.  Students who have not met with their advisor or followed the steps above will be awarded grants towards the end of January, based on the funding resources that remain.

University Scholarships (i.e. Catholic Teacher Ministry Fund & Religious Funds) will be posted to your Prowl account by the University [Graduate Financial Aid Office makes monies available according to their own schedule].   Department Grants will be posted to PROWL as well. 

Please help us to serve you:
Registering on time matters to us; it helps us plan classes and respond to student needs. Timely application for funding sources also helps, as monies are limited.
