40 Students who have registered to audit a course will not receive earned credit for the course, and a course taken as audit will not count toward degree requirements. Auditing students may participate in classroom discussions and engage in course activities at the discretion of the instructor, however no work completed is eligible to be submitted for a grade. Audit courses will appear on the student's transcript with a final course grade of "AU". * The following courses are unavailable to both audit with record and audit without record students: SF 513, SF 516, CHP 650, CHP 651, CHP 775, CO 507, CO 510, CO 511, CO 512, CO 526, CO 539, CO 570, CO 589, CO 602, CO 615, and language courses. NON-RESIDENTIAL COURSE LIMITS Students enrolled in the Master of Arts in Counseling degree programs may complete up to ½ of their program hours in a non-residential format. Non-residential courses are all those that are not completed at Denver Seminary in a majority face-to-face format. Examples include transfer hours, advanced standing credit (note that any combination of transfer and advanced standing hours cannot exceed ½ of the program hours), thesis/project, training and mentoring courses without an in-class component, individualized study, any course listed as "to be determined" for the day and time it meets, online courses, video-conferenced courses (where the student is not in the same classroom as the professor), and any course taken at a location where the degree or graduate certificate in which the student is enrolled has not been approved. TRAINING AND MENTORING COURSES POLICY If Training and Mentoring courses are required for a student's degree program, these are taken successively in a formative sequence. Students who have not yet started this sequence must take TM 500 upon completing fifteen semester hours of academic work (including advanced standing and transfer credit). PROGRAM COMPLETION TIME LIMITS All coursework pertaining to a degree or graduate certificate must be completed within ten years (seven years for the Doctor of Ministry and for the Doctor of Philosophy programs) of the degree conferral or graduate certificate award. Doctor of Ministry students may petition for a one-time extension to ten years. This time limit applies to all courses applying to the degree or graduate certificate, including transfer credit and advanced standing, with the exception of DMin transfer credits which are not subject to a time limit. Questions about these time limits should be directed to the Registrar's Office. ADVANCED STANDING AND TRANSFER CREDIT Refer to the admission information section for information on advanced standing (for eligible undergraduate work) and transfer credit (for graduate work from accredited institutions). COURSE SUBSTITUTION Students may be eligible to substitute a Denver Seminary course to fulfill a required course within their degree program. Students must secure written approval from the department chairperson for this type of course substitution and submit a Course Substitution Request form to the Registrar's Office. WITHDRAWAL/LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM DENVER SEMINARY Students who withdraw or take a leave of absence from Denver Seminary must complete the appropriate form available online and in the Registrar's Office. Those who do not intend on withdrawing, but who wish to take a leave of absence should complete the same form but indicate the desired leave of absence and the intended semester of return. The maximum length of time for a leave of absence is one calendar year. Those who do not return by the next semester (fall or spring) after the one year will need to reapply
