They may also add Quad 2 and Quad 4 courses during the first five weeks of the semester. Students wishing to add courses of less than a half-semester in length are permitted to do so for a proportional length of time. A student may audit a course on a space-available basis by completing an audit form at the Registrar's Office by the end of the first week of the semester. An audited course is not counted as part of the student's academic load. A student auditing a course is considered a regular participant in the class, except that there is no requirement to turn in written assignments or take examinations.
Transferable credits are the basis for administering the proportional Bible requirement.
The normal academic load is 15-16 credits per semester. The minimum full-time academic load is 12 credits per semester. Courses meet for approximately 700 minutes per credit. For each hour spent in the classroom, the student should expect to spend two hours in study and preparation of course assignments. This means that a student taking 15 credits will have approximately a 45-hour study week, including class hours.
