16 Doctor of Philosophy Temporary Admission of a Non-Degree Seeking Student  As a general policy, enrollment in doctoral level courses in the PhD CES program is restricted to students who have been admitted to the program and are currently enrolled as a member of a PhD CES cohort. Special exceptions will be considered in the following cases:  • A letter written to the PhD CES Program Chair stating the necessity of the course in the student's academic program, including documentation that all prerequisites for enrollment in the identified course have been met (e.g., master's level preparation).  • A letter written to the PhD CES Program Chair stating the need for CO 1204 (Supervision in Counseling) toward state credentialing as a clinical supervisor, with documentation of a current clinical license (e.g., LPC).   With approval from the PhD CES Program Chair, non-degree seeking students may be permitted to take up to three doctoral courses (9 credits) without being admitted into the PhD CES program. Non-degree seeking students must provide proof of a master's degree, or sufficient master's level coursework, from a regionally accredited institution of higher education. Residencies, Practicum, and Internship courses are not available to non-degree seeking students. Audit Applicants Individuals wishing to enroll in courses and receive no credit should apply for admission as an audit student. A record of the noncredit course work will be recorded on the student's transcript. A course that is audited may not be converted to credit at a later date or applied to a degree or graduate certificate program. Registration is dependent on space availability in the class and some classes may have prerequisite restrictions. Note that only individuals with a Doctor of Ministry degree, from Denver Seminary or from another accredited institution, may audit Doctor of Ministry courses.
