Individual Courses/Auditing
Due to the nature of Gutenberg’s program, students seeking a degree from Gutenberg are not allowed to attend on a part-time basis; full-time attendance for degree students is mandatory. Gutenberg College allows a limited number of students who are not enrolled as full-time students to attend individual courses for credit or for auditing. (See course descriptions in the Academic Program section.) Students taking the courses for credit will receive a grade and feedback from the tutor; students who audit will not. All students are admitted at the discretion of the tutor teaching the course.
Great Conversation may not be taken for credit unless a student has taken all six quarters of Western Civilization concomitantly with Writing and has passed the courses with a 2.3 GPA or higher. Auditing Great Conversation is allowed. Students may not take for credit or audit the Senior Thesis classes.
Students wishing to attend/audit a course at Gutenberg College should submit an Application to Attend/Audit 30 days prior to the beginning of the quarter. The registrar will check with the tutor of the course(s) being applied for and will notify the applicant as soon as possible about whether the application has been accepted.

Limitations
Not all courses taken by non-degree (non-matriculated) students may be applied toward a degree at Gutenberg College. The following provisions apply when a non-matriculated student takes individual courses for credit and is later accepted into the degree program:
- All freshman and sophomore Greek, mathematics, art, science, and microexegesis credits taken and passed at Gutenberg will be fully accepted toward Gutenberg’s B.A.
- Credits for Western Civilization courses will only be counted toward the Gutenberg B.A. if Writing is taken and passed concomitantly. Non-matriculated students who take Western Civilization course(s) without Writing and are later accepted into Gutenberg’s B.A. program must retake the Western Civilization courses with Writing. A maximum of 18 Western Civilization and 6 Writing credits (3 quarters) taken concomitantly and passed at Gutenberg will be accepted toward a Gutenberg B.A.
- Credits for German course(s) taken and passed at Gutenberg will count toward a Gutenberg B.A., but no other credits for junior- or senior-year courses (300- and 400-level courses)—including Great Conversation—will count toward a Gutenberg B.A.
