Admissions

Application to the seminary begins with a letter from your vocation director, informing Saint Meinrad that you have been accepted as a seminarian for your (arch)diocese or religious community. Following your vocation director’s letter, you may request an application from the Director of Enrollment. The application packet will be sent via the U.S. Postal Service.

After you complete the application forms, obtain the necessary documents, and request your transcripts and recommendations, you may submit your application by mail to:
      Director of Enrollment
      Saint Meinrad School of Theology
      200 Hill Drive
      St. Meinrad, IN 47577

All recommendations and transcripts are to be sent directly to the Director of Enrollment. Saint Meinrad will acknowledge receipt of your application and guide you in the process. Completed applications are reviewed by the Seminary Admissions Committee. Following the committee’s review, your admissions status will be communicated to you and your vocation director.

International seminary candidates will need to work with both their vocation director and the seminary, particularly the Registrar, to ensure they have filed the necessary applications and documents to acquire the appropriate status for study in the United States.
