You may choose to audit classes rather than taking them for credit. Here’s the difference.
Credit: you are responsible for your attendance and accomplishment of all assigned work. Upon successful completion of the course, you will then receive “credit” for all your work.
Audit: though you will experience all the educational privileges other students will receive, you do not have to do any of the coursework. Professors are not obligated to evaluate your work, though you are still encouraged to participate in any class discussion. Because of this, no credit will be received for attending the course. This option is perfect for those interested in simply furthering their knowledge of God’s Word and the practices of ministry.
