Information for New Students
As a new student, you have the following three (3) options of enrolling:
FOR CREDIT: Enrolling for credit means you are committed to a degree (or certificate) plan at SDUIS and wish to receive credit for your classes.
EXTENSION: As an extension student, you are not (yet) committed to a degree plan at SDUIS, but wish to take particular classes. Or, you are enrolled at a different university and wish to take a class at SDUIS. If you decide to get a degree from SDUIS, credits earned as an extension student may be applied towards a degree at SDUIS.
AUDIT: Auditing a class is for students who do not wish to receive credit for their classes, nor are they certain of enrolling in a degree program in the future. Personal interest or extending one’s professional horizon are the main reasons to take classes as an audit. Audit classes are offered at a reduced price. There is an option to convert an audit class to a credit class if you a) attend all the class meetings, b) finish all the coursework, c) request a status change before the current class ends, d) pay the difference to a credit class.
Each one of the above options is an excellent choice. Please make your selection carefully and mark it clearly on the registration form, thank you!
