In June 2018, the Board of Commissioners approved an exception to residency requirements, thereby allowing for reduction of the one-year residency requirement for MDiv students enrolled either in campus-based hybrid courses or at the seminary's partial-degree Susquehanna Valley Ministry Center extension site (Elizabethtown College, 1 Alpha Drive, Elizabethtown, PA 17022); these students will be expected to take a minimum of 4 courses at the main campus.
