Pastoral care and support
You are not studying alone
Theological study can stir deep things, and life does not pause for a course. The Academy cares for its students as people, not only as learners. Here is where to turn.
Prayer and pastoral care
Ask for prayer, or for a conversation with someone who will listen. In the portal, choose Requests › Pastoral support or prayer: only the Principal and the President read these.
Ask in the portal →Help with your studies
Struggling with an essay, the reading or a deadline? Book a tutorial with a lecturer, ask for an extension, or write to the office.
Book a tutorial →Adjustments for disability or illness
Extra time, materials in another format, or an alternative to having your camera on. Tell us what would help, through Requests or by email.
