Dominion Mission Theological University (DMTU)

1. Purpose of Partnerships

Dominion Mission Theological University (DMTU) establishes partnerships for the purpose of faith-based collaboration, ecclesiastical theological education, ministerial formation, leadership development, missions training, and spiritual fellowship. Partnerships are intended to strengthen theological capacity and global Christian cooperation within a non-governmental, ecclesiastical framework.

2. Nature of Partner Institutions

DMTU partners with faith-based theological schools, seminaries, Bible colleges, churches, ministries, apostolic networks, and religious bodies. All partner institutions are private, non-government, and faith-based entities, operating within their own ecclesiastical and doctrinal structures.

3. Training Delivery & Degree Awarding Framework

Some partner institutions of DMTU operate as primary training institutions, delivering full theological and ministry programs independently within their own faith-based frameworks. In such arrangements:

All teaching, training, mentoring, supervision, and program delivery are conducted solely by the partner institution.

Upon successful completion of training, the partner institution may formally submit written recommendations, academic records, and supporting documentation to DMTU requesting the award of the appropriate ecclesiastical qualification.

DMTU functions exclusively as the ecclesiastical degree-awarding institution, providing faith-based curriculum alignment, internal quality assurance review, and authorization of awards.

Degrees, diplomas, certificates, and honorary awards are conferred by DMTU on the basis of partner recommendations and internal ecclesiastical standards, not public or statutory accreditation.

This framework is faith-based, non-statutory, and non-governmental, and does not constitute franchising, public validation, or government-accredited degree provision in any jurisdiction.

4. Accreditation & Recognition Disclaimer

DMTU and its partner institutions are not chartered, licensed, accredited, or recognized by any government authority or statutory body in any country. Partnerships do not imply government approval, public academic recognition, or equivalence to degrees awarded by government-accredited universities.

DMTU operates under private, non-government, faith-based international quality assurance and accreditation bodies, including Quality Assurance bodies in the United States of America and UKIQ (United Kingdom International Qualifications). These bodies provide ecclesiastical oversight and internal quality assurance only and do not constitute governmental or statutory accreditation in any jurisdiction.

5. Use of the Term “University”

In jurisdictions where the term “University” is legally protected, its use by DMTU is solely ecclesiastical, faith-based, and non-statutory, and does not imply government charter, public authority recognition, or academic equivalence.

6. Autonomy of Institutions

Each partner institution remains fully independent and autonomous, retaining responsibility for its governance, training delivery, staffing, doctrinal positions, and operations. DMTU does not control or manage partner institutions and does not assume legal responsibility for their activities beyond ecclesiastical award review.

7. Use of Names, Logos & Public Representation

Names, logos, titles, and references to partnership may be used only with written authorization and solely to indicate faith-based collaboration. No partnership shall be represented in a manner that suggests government endorsement, statutory authority, or public accreditation.

8. Review & Termination of Partnerships

DMTU reserves the right to review, suspend, or terminate any partnership that no longer aligns with its faith-based mission, doctrinal values, ethical standards, or legal risk posture, at its sole discretion.

9. Governing Principle

All partnerships are governed by the principle of ecclesiastical fellowship, mutual respect, and shared Christian mission, with full understanding that DMTU operates as an entirely online, faith-based theological institution, independent of government accreditation or statutory authority.
