Auditing a Master's Level Class

Individuals wishing to study at Denver Seminary for no credit are encouraged to apply for admission as an auditor. Credit for course work may not be granted at a later date, but a record of the non-credit course work will be recorded on the transcript. Registration is dependent on space availability in the class and some classes may have prerequisite restrictions. To apply for admission as an auditor, an applicant must complete and submit the auditor application. A baccalaureate degree is required for admission, although an official transcript is not required as part of the application process. For more information, contact student services.
