Applying to CRTS

We look forward to getting to know you through the application process! You will be asked to provide an autobiographical letter to help us know who you are, what has shaped you, and what the Reformed faith means to you. In addition, you will need to provide an attestation from your church, transcripts and a couple of references. The application process is not difficult and we are here to help guide you through the process. Please contact the Registrar’s office if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

International students should submit their application documents by January 31 in order for them to have enough time to apply for a study permit. Applications from Canadian students should be received no later than March 15. If this deadline cannot be met for some reason, please contact the Registrar.

The autobiographical letter should be about 1500 words. Please tell us about yourself using your own expressions and style, and in one way or another answer the following questions:

  • Who are you as a person?
  • Why are you applying to CRTS in particular?
  • What does the Reformed faith mean to you?
  • What is your motivation and what encouragement have you received to pursue ministry?
  • What has been your involvement in the local church?
  • What have been some of your most significant learning experiences?

Applicants are also asked to disclose any serious medical conditions in their autobiographical letter. This information is important to ensure that CRTS prepares to meet, as much as feasible, each student’s physical, mental, and emotional needs. The institution wishes to ensure that its facilities and environment promote the progress of all students. This letter should be sent in electronically with your application form.
