Grow in Grace Student Account Request
To participate in Grow in Grace courses (for credit or audit), you need a student account. This account provides access to Microsoft 365 (single sign-on), SemNet—our online classroom platform—and the Grow in Grace Student Information System (SIS), where you can view and register for courses and access grades and transcripts. It also includes access to the ATLA Religion Database, a theological journal database available to WLS alumni, as well as library and other seminary resources.
Technology Fee
A Technology Fee is required to access all the systems listed above.
An explanation of the different subscription levels is available here.
Important Email Update
WLS has received ATS accreditation. As a result, the seminary email domain has changed:
Old: firstname.lastname@wisluthsem.org
New: firstname.lastname@wls.edu
Please use your new @wls.edu email address to log in to SIS. Your Microsoft 365 account also grants you access to WLS-related services, including Library Resources (such as the ATLA Religion Database), SIS, and SemNet, our online classroom.
