Welcome to the ESR community!
Thank you for confirming your enrollment by making a deposit! We look forward to you joining our community.
What to do and expect once you have confirmed your admission to ESR:
- We have assigned an adviser to meet with you to discuss classes. You will receive an introductory email in the next week or so. Please review the course schedule for the upcoming term and the academic calendar on the Joint Seminaries Registrar webpage.
- Information Technology Services (ITS) will send you emails containing your usernames and passwords for Outlook (email), Banner Self-Service (registration system), and Moodle (which contains course syllabi and the websites for online courses). This may take up to a week to complete. If you have not received the automated e-mail within a week, please check your spam folder. If you don’t see it there, contact the ITS Help Desk at EC’s IT at 765-987-2000
- After you have connected with your adviser and have received the usernames and passwords from ITS, follow these directions to register for courses.
- Registration for new students will begin the last week of June. Please follow the registration directions at https://esr.earlham.edu/academics/registrar-and-academic-services/. If you have difficulty registering, please contact the Joint Seminaries Registrar at [email protected] or 765-983-1515; a Zoom meeting can also be requested.
- Please visit the New Student Orientation webpage for complete information on new student procedures, policies, and orientation events.
If you have been selected as a Cooper Scholar, International Cooper Scholar, Diversity Cooper Scholar, or Leadership and Service Scholar, you will need to complete and return a Confidentiality Agreement and the associated Scholarship Agreement. If you did not receive the agreement with your acceptance letter, or if you have other questions, please contact the admissions office at [email protected] or 765 983 1523
Attend New Student Orientation
As a new student, you will participate in orientation at the beginning of the semester in which you matriculate. The schedule is carefully balanced to
- introduce you to peers, staff, administrators, faculty, and, when possible, current students from both Earlham School of Religion and Bethany Theological Seminary.
- familiarize you with key services, including the Lilly Library, the Athletics and Wellness Center, the business office, the academic services office, and the computer labs.
- Provide essential information about academic programs and policies.
- facilitate advisor assignments and course registration.
- offer time to relax and interact in small groups at meal times and at the end of the day.
