Use the link below for more details regarding the TEEC Access Assessment.

Course changes

In each year some courses are impacted by virtue of revision or other issues. Do take note as to whether any of your intended courses are affected.

Courses undergoing change

You can register for these courses in 2024 – and you need to pass. There will be opportunity for carrying incomplete work (Component registration) to 2025, but there will be no option to do a Repeat registration. Should you fail the course then you will register for it again as a Full course and you will receive the new study material:

Higher Certificate in Theology

45111 – Introduction to the Old Testament
45121 – Introduction to the New Testament

Courses impacting Repeat registrations

Should you fail a course is is strongly recommended that you re-attempt the course in the next applicable academic period (semester or year). You will use the same study material (but will receive new assignment questions), and you will pay a lesser course fee. If you allow some years to elapse before you re-attempt the course then you may be required to register in Full in order to receive the revised study material.

The following courses will impact those who hold significantly revised materials and who will now need to register in Full for the course:

Bachelor of Theology

7000 – Introduction to Theological Study Skills

The online registration process will indicate if you require updated material (it won’t permit a Repeat registration depending on the materials originally issued to you).

Applying to study

There are various ways to submit an application, and there are particular requirements to be completed for an application to be successful
