How to enroll:

Admission as a non-degree or auditing student requires a one-page application and a completed registration form submitted to the Office of the Registrar. The Registrars’ office forwards the application to the Academic Dean for approval and notifies the applicant of the admission status by email. Classes taken for credit require that the student hold a baccalaureate or its educational equivalent from a college or university accredited by a regional accrediting association.

Upon successful admission, the Registrar will send each student a schedule and payment information.

Fees: Non-degree tuition is $535 per credit hour plus $90 total for student association and technology fees. Audit fees are $268 per course. Please note: audit courses earn no credit and therefore cannot later be applied toward a degree (see additional information below for audit courses).

Discounts are available to Butler University employees, CTS Field Education supervisors, senior citizens (age 62+), spouses of full-time students (for auditing only), and CTS staff. Indicate the type of discount you are eligible for on the non-degree application.

While non-degree and audit students can enroll in any class (except those with prerequisites), the following classes may be of particular interest to non-degree seeking students. See the instructions below for class times, descriptions, etc.

Auditing

Christian Theological Seminary welcomes and encourages lifelong learners to audit classes at a steeply discounted rate. CTS students who are full time (9 semester hours or more) and/or their spouses may audit additional hours during the same semester without paying an audit fee. The instructor’s permission is required in order to audit a course. The number of auditors will not normally exceed 10 percent of a course’s enrollment.

Auditing status means that a student enrolls for the course, attends class and accepts the professor’s requirements for the audit. Audits are listed on transcripts, but credits are not issued toward a degree. To discontinue the audit, the student must officially withdraw from the course. A shift from audit to credit normally cannot be made after the second week of class and requires the professor’s and the academic dean’s permission, along with the payment of additional tuition. Credit status may be changed to audit status at any time within the first 12 weeks of classes. When a student changes status from credit to audit, credit fees are refunded according to the refund schedule and the audit fee is applicable for students dropping under nine semester hours.

Registration

Non-Degree and auditors register by completing a paper registration form and a one-page application and submitting them to the Office of the Registrar.
