Academic Policies and Procedures - All Campuses

Registration

Maximum Units of Non-Course Credit

The college recognizes that learning may take place outside the common classroom environment through its policies on
credit-by-examination, correspondence courses, CLEP, and other opportunities. However, it is inherent in the educational philosophy
of the college that a student earning a degree from Linfield College will have participated in the learning process through various
encounters with students and faculty afforded by the college’s academic programs. Therefore, the college will recognize no more
than 30 credits earned through non-course means.

Auditing a Course

Auditing is permitted on a space-available basis without charge for full-time students (10-18 credits) in nonlaboratory courses, with the consent of the instructor and the Registrar at the regular registration period. Students on the McMinnville or Portland Campuses who are enrolled for fewer than 10 credits will be charged $500 per credit for the course being audited. Students on those campuses enrolled for more than 18 credits will be charged $500 per credit for the course being audited. DCE students pay $190 per credit. All of these fees are non-refundable. There will be no charge for Senior Citizens, at least age 65, under the definition of “Auditing a Course.” There is no discount for Senior Citizens for courses with transcripted credit. Recognition of an audit on the academic record signals that the student has been faithful in attending classes. Failure to attend regularly will be reported to the Registrar/Registration Office by the instructor,
and the student will automatically be withdrawn from the course. No credit hours are earned for auditing courses.
