Should the student fail the examination on its first offering there will be an opportunity for one reexamination approximately a week later.

Some knowledge of Latin and Greek is recommended, though not required, for a major in Theology. French or German is recommended for those who wish to pursue graduate study. Spanish is an important language for those who may pursue some form of ministry. Also, Biblical Hebrew is recommended for those who are serious students of scripture.
