Registrar’s Office

The Registrar is here to help you throughout your time at CTS, from registering for your courses every semester or planning out your academic career at seminary. You can reach the Registrar by phone, email, or in person. Recognizing that students come to CTS with other life commitments, including work and family, the Registrar helps students find ways to accommodate a range of busy schedules and to honor diverse academic interests within the framework of each degree program.
