1) You must submit an email responding to the form questions on our "Applications" page (medical, job-placement, etc.). 

 

2) If you are planning on doing a residency your first year, you must be 18 or older and must have a valid driver's license.

​

3) You must have a laptop with internet connections. Implied in this requirement is the further willingness to open and maintain online accounts in mainstream platforms like Gmail, Zoom (or a similar live-stream service), Google Classroom, and so forth. If you are taking live, local classes, you may need access to a printer.

​​​​

4) Some programs require some part-time work. This is the case even if you are able to pay the tuition without working because we want to train you for bi-vocational ministry. If you are enrolled in such a program, you will be expected to hold a part-time paying job in the community at large (15-25 hrs/wk) for a minimum of two years.

​

5) Some programs require volunteer work at a church or Christian nonprofit. That is, you may be required to engage in an on-the-ground practicum with a mentor or supervisor at least 3 hrs/wk for as long as the practicum lasts. 

​

6) You must have access to the full resources available at at least one local public library. If you are doing graduate work, you will be required to access the digital resources of an academic library (usually a public college or university local to you).

​

7) You must have financial means to pay for the annual tuition up front, before each academic year begins. This includes the $200 annual accreditation fee, paid directly to the Open Latch Education Foundation.

​

8) You must be willing to dedicate at least 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, to school work.

​

9) You must be willing to have regular phone or video calls with your mentor.

​

10) You must be willing to allow free and open dialogue about God and Christianity as it relates to education and to life in general. We do not require you to share our exact brand of Christian faith, but you must be comfortable with the arena of dialogue that included God and the bible in all things.
