Auditing Courses

A student interested in becoming familiar with the content of a course without the constraints of credit work may register for a course as an auditor.

Initial requests to audit courses should be processed through the Office of Enrollment. After the first audit, requests should be processed by the Registrar. The appropriate office will contact the instructor/s to request permission for the audit.

Admission into a class as an auditor is based upon academic record (including official transcript/s from approved undergraduate school/s) and the instructor's approval.

Prior to the start of class, auditors are responsible for meeting with the instructor to establish their level of engagement in the class.

Auditors are not expected to submit written work or to take examinations, nor should they expect the instructor to evaluate their work. The student must attend a minimum of two-thirds of the class meetings of the course in order for an audit to be recorded on a transcript.

A change from credit to audit status or a change from audit to credit status, must be carried out within the drop/add period and may effect tuition charges.

Auditors may request Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the Registrar.

Requests by current students in good standing to audit a course should be processed through the Registrar. During a Seminary career, a student with a GPA of 3.0 or higher may audit up to six hours of coursework at no charge. Full-time students may audit only one course per semester. Part-time students may audit one course after completing twelve credit hours and another after completing an additional twelve credit hours. After a student has audited six hours of coursework at no cost, additional audits may be taken at the normal auditing fee.

MTS alumni and senior citizens may register to audit one course per semester at the special tuition rates.

Spouses/partners of current students may audit courses under the following terms:
• of full-time students in good standing may audit one class per semester at no charge.
• of part-time students in good standing may audit one class per semester at no charge
   for every 12 credit hours completed by the student.
• Additional classes may be taken at the regular auditing fee.
