Many courses require pre-course readings, so students need to allow enough time to complete those readings before starting classes. Students are asked to not purchase texts or make travel plans until the registration deadline has passed and a course confirmation is received.<\/p>\n<p>To register, contact the Brethren Academy at <a href=\"mailto:academy@bethanyseminary.edu\">academy@bethanyseminary.edu<\/a> or 765-983-1824.
