Students are granted provisional standing in the Pre-Seminary Program by completing an application form in conjunction with a conversation with the Pre-Seminary Program Director. Students are expected to be able to apply for full standing after one year in the program or upon entry into their junior year (whichever occurs later). The full-standing applications, which are available in the Pre-Seminary Handbook, describe additional academic and professional requirements.

Concordia University recognizes that much of the preparation of students for future ministry occurs outside the classroom. In addition to the academic program outlined above, the Pre-Seminary student at Concordia has the opportunity to learn and grow through a wide variety of on-and off-campus activities. These experiences are designed to help students develop a Lutheran and pastoral ethos. Activities include lectures and seminars, contact and interaction with church leaders, as well as ministry and service experiences.
