Summer Online 2025
Date(s): 06/02/2025 to 08/22/2025
Location(s): Online
Description:
Online learning has become a popular way for pastors to take part in continuing education. Online courses allow pastors to participate in a course from anywhere in the country. It also allows the pastor freedom to be “in class” in his office, in a coffee shop, or in his living room.
Course registration will be available in the Student Information System (SIS) beginning March 17, 2025, and close May 5, 2025. Use the "Login with Office 365 button" once you've received a student account and are logged in to Microsoft 365 with that student account. Need an account? Request one here.
Step-by-step instructions are provided here for all parts of the account setup and registration process.
If you do not currently have an "@wls.edu" email address, please complete a request form for a student account. This account provides a Microsoft 365 license for single sign-on use to access Grow in Grace's student information system, SemNet, and AtlaSerials PLUS. The account is now required for those interested in taking courses for credit or audit.
WLS has been granted accreditation with ATS; therefore, the email domain has been changed from firstname.lastname@wisluthsem.org to firstname.lastname@wls.edu. Please use the new email domain to log in to Microsoft 365 and access WLS-related websites (e.g., Library Resources, SIS, SemNet).
Financial assistance is also available. If your congregation is paying for your tuition, please submit a financial aid request form with that information so you may receive the tuition discount.| Dates | Course | Instructor | Time |
