40 REPEATING COURSES Students may repeat any course in which they have earned a grade of "F" or "WF." Once the course is successfully passed, the passing grade alleviates the impact of the failing grade on the grade point average. The failing grade will still appear on the transcript but will no longer factor into the GPA. When a student repeats a course due to a failed attempt, the highest grade is used in calculating GPA. No course for which a passing grade has been earned may be repeated for credit. Doctor of Ministry students can repeat up to two classes and Doctor of Philosophy students can repeat up to three classes in which a failing grade (i.e., less than a B-) was earned. INDIVIDUALIZED STUDY COURSE LIMITS No more than fifteen hours of individualized study may apply to a Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy program, no more than twenty hours may apply to the Master of Divinity program, and no more than six hours may apply to the Master of Theology program. Refer to the Non-Residential Course Limits section below for more detailed information. Doctor of Ministry students may complete no more than six hours through an individualized study. If the student has any transfer credit, the individualized study hour limit is reduced by the total number of transfer hours received. AUDIT COURSES Students may register to audit a course with record in accordance with the Registration and Adding/Dropping Courses policies. Courses may not be converted from audit to credit after the add/drop period. Courses may not be converted from credit to audit after the last day to drop with a grade of "W". Please refer to the course drop and add/drop deadlines within the Adding/Dropping Courses policy. 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 audit: SF 513, SF 516, CHP 650, CHP 651, CHP 775, TM 500, TM 501, TM 601, TM 602, TM 603, TM 604, TM 605 and language courses. CO courses may only be audited by alumni of the Seminary's counseling program or another CACREP accredited program. NON-RESIDENTIAL COURSE LIMITS Students enrolled in the Master of Arts in Counseling degree programs may complete up to ¼ 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.
