Individuals seeking to take a limited number of courses at Claremont School of Theology must submit a Non-Degree Application form, an application fee, a two- to five-page personal statement describing the purpose for doing the coursework, one letter of recommendation, and official transcripts from all educational institutions beyond high school sent directly to Claremont from the college, university or seminary where the work was completed. (Non-degree applicants seeking to take Advanced Course of Study classes must supply a letter of support from their District Superintendent.) Non-degree applicants for whom English is a second language must submit a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 550 (paper-based) or 230 (computer-based) or 89 ibt.. Non-degree students are not eligible for Claremont School of Theology financial aid. Admission is generally for one semester only; re-admission for subsequent semesters is based on an evaluation of the student's class work by the professors. Non-degree students are admitted to courses only with the approval and signature of the course instructor. A person may remain in the non-degree status for no more than 12 units of work.

Non-degree students wishing admission into a degree program must make regular application to the selected degree program. Non-degree status does not ensure admission into a degree program.
