Auditing a Class
The University offers students the opportunity to audit many of its classes. Students attending as auditors are expected to participate fully in the classes, but they do not receive grades or credit. The following guidelines and standards should be observed.
- Auditors must have met prerequisites either by credit or audit for classes being audited.
- The instructor of the course must allow enrollments on an audit basis
- Auditors should attend regularly and prepare for the class by fulfilling assignments. Auditors may be withdrawn from class for poor attendance or failure to follow appropriate classroom order and procedures.
- Auditors are not required to take examinations, participate in labs, or write papers, but instructors may allow auditors to do so with the understanding that the auditor's work may not receive the same amount of attention in grading and critiquing as that of credit students.
- An audited course cannot be converted into a course for credit after registration
- A student may change an enrollment in a class to audit up to the drop/add deadline. Students who change to audit are expected to attend the remaining class sessions.
- The following courses cannot be taken as audit courses or changed to an audit course during the semester:
- ENGL-100 Basic Writing
- ENGL-101 English Composition
- ENGL-102 Western World Literature and Composition
- ENGL-220 Advanced Composition
- MATH-090 Elementary Algebra
- Any computer laboratory class
- Any studio art class at the undergraduate or graduate levels
Taking a Class Pass/Fail
Any student in good standing who has completed at least 62 semester hours may elect to take one course each semester on a pass/fail basis under the following guidelines.
- A pass/fail course cannot fulfill a required general education core course.
- A pass/fail course cannot be a part of the student's major, minor, or concentration.
- The instructor of the course must allow enrollments on a pass/fail basis.
- The course cannot be used as a repeat of a class previously taken.
- The total number of pass/fail courses taken must not exceed four.
A student may select the pass/fail option up to the withdrawal deadline each term. For questions regarding the withdrawal deadline, please contact the Office of the Registrar. To request this option a student must complete a pass/fail form and obtain the appropriate signatures before submitting the form to the Office of the Registrar, Esch 131 or registrar@uindy.edu. Once a student has decided to take a class pass/fail, the class cannot be changed back to on that is regularly graded. Note: While a grade of P (pass) does not affect a student's GPA, a grade of F is calculated into the GPA.
Registering for Independent Study
An independent study is a course in which the student engages in individual or small-group projects. The projects may be of the nature of research or study in a selected area of interest. Approval of the supervising instructor and department chair/program director of the department in which the proposed study is to be completed is required. Independent study courses may be categorized into the following types:
A required independent study is one that is required to fulfill a graduation requirement. A required independent study is offered rarely and should meet the following criteria:
- An existing section of the course is not available in the semester the Independent study is offered, or there is an unavoidable time conflict with another course required for the student’s graduation.
- The department chair/program director, faculty advisor, and key advisor have examined the reason for the student not having taken the course during the previous scheduled semester(s).
- An instructor has consented to supervise the required independent study.
- The department chair/program director of the department in which the proposed study will be completed will submit a Google scheduling form along with the student’s name and ID number. The Director of Academic Scheduling will create the independent study section and register the student. The course section designation will be 99R (e.g., ACCT 212-99R).
- A required independent study does not require an Independent Study Application.
An elective independent study is one that does not fulfill a specific graduation requirement but may be used as elective credit toward graduation. Types of elective independent studies include: existing courses listed as electives or as recommended courses on a curriculum guide; Study or research in an area that is not listed on a curriculum guide; exploratory study in a selected area; advanced study in a selected area; and research-oriented project that requires establishing a hypothesis:
- An instructor must consent to supervise the elective independent study.
- An undergraduate elective independent study that does not mirror a course which exists in the current UIndy catalog, will carry the course number “399” (e.g., ACCT 399, ENGL399), and graduate elective independent study course will carry the 599 course number. The independent study section designation will be 99E (e.g., ACCT 399-99E or ENGL 599-99E). A 399 independent study course will require a completed Independent Study Application to be submitted to the Registrar’s Office along with supporting documentation listed on the application. A 599 independent study will be submitted by the department chair/program director of the department in which the proposed study will be completed, via the Google scheduling form, along with the student’s name and ID number. The Director of Academic Scheduling will create the independent study section and register the student.
Registering for Internships, Practica, or Supervised Teaching
A student registering for an internship, practicum, or supervised teaching must have the approval of the appropriate school or department and must register for the class through the Office of the Registrar. The following definitions apply to these courses.
Practicum
An academic course designed to relate theory and practical experience. A practicum includes both classroom and work activities. A traditional letter grade is assigned based on a combination of academic study and on-site work responsibilities.
Internship
A course designed through an academic school or department to provide the student with a full-time work experience in a practical environment. Internships are arranged and supervised by faculty members and must be approved by the supervisor and the school or department prior to registration. A grade of satisfactory or unsatisfactory (S or U) is assigned by the University supervisor in cooperation with the work supervisor. (Internships for academic credit should not be confused with cooperative education experiences and internships arranged through the Office of Career Services.)
Student (Supervised) Teaching
Experience arranged by the director of Supervised Teaching through the Department of Teacher Education; required for all persons seeking Indiana teacher certification. The University supervisor and the school cooperating teacher consult in the awarding of a grade of satisfactory or unsatisfactory (S or U). (See course descriptions for supervised teaching experiences in the Course Descriptions section of the undergraduate academic catalog.)
