This includes your name, email address, physical address, phone number, date of birth, academic history, ministry background, calling statements, pastor references, and any payment preferences or transactional data.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal data to administer admissions, coordinate student profiles, deliver academic coursework, process tuition payments, send administrative notifications, and communicate information regarding your status. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
Cookies and Web Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user navigation, analyze site performance, and protect our application forms against automated bot submissions. We utilize secure service integrations like Cloudflare Turnstile to verify that form inputs are from real human applicants.
Information Security and Retention
We implement robust security standards to safeguard student records, database tables, and communication channels. Transactional billing and credit card details are securely handled directly by PCI-compliant payment gateways such as Stripe. We retain student academic history indefinitely to verify credentials and transcripts upon graduate authorization.
