Academic Advisors

Each student is assigned an academic advisor (usually a faculty member) to discuss vocational direction and academic progress. Check out your student tab in Populi for the listing of your advisor, or the My Courses tab in Populi.

Academic Skills Center 

The Academic Skills Center is designed to provide resources and assistance to students so they can develop the skills necessary to communicate clearly and succeed in seminary. The tips and links cover a wide variety of topics such as overcoming procrastination, strategies for reading well, improving academic writing skills, and assistance if English is not your primary language. The Center also provides individual consultations on course assignments. Please be sure to take advantage of these resources during your time at Central! Note: students must be logged in to their myCBTS account to access the site.

Resources for Persons with a Disability

The seminary makes every effort to accommodate the needs of persons with a disability. Students whose disability requires extra consideration or assistance should contact the Dean’s office. Further information can be found in the student handbook.

Counseling Resources for Students

A student’s mental and emotional health is an important part of their ability to succeed in their studies and complete a program of study. You may have a time as a student that calls for a trained professional who can listen and assist during a difficult time. While Central does not have professional counselors on staff, we want to make sure you have the resources to help you find what you need. Visit our Counseling Resources page for important information and links to connect you to the right person who can help.

Transcript Requests

Requests for official transcripts are fulfilled through the Registrar’s Office.  Click here to complete the request form.  Unofficial transcripts can be accessed through student accounts in Populi.

1098/1098T Forms

For federal income tax filings, some students may inquire about Form 1098/1098-T. Form 1098/1098T are forms only required to be generated and provided by schools that participate in Title IV federal student financial aid programs. Since Central does not participate in a Title IV federal student financial aid programs, we do not generate or provide these forms.

A student can access all student invoices and tuition payments under the History tab in their Populi account. Please note, the “Aid Payment” amount listed on your account is either a discount or scholarship from Central Seminary, not a federal financial aid program, and does not fall under the Title IV student federal financial aid program.

Students are encouraged to have our own opinion. We are allowed to have our own understanding. And we are trained to find sources to support that opinion.

From day one I meshed with people in my class. We developed a relationship and trust. And with my instructors…were authentic and vulnerable, and they were so welcoming.

I believe that the work Central does to keep down costs is a huge part of their faithful service to the Church. Most of us will not get rich as pastors. When we graduate from seminary without huge debt, we can more easily focus on the ministries to which we are called.
