NSU 2014-2015 Undergraduate Catalog

65 Nova Southeastern University • Undergraduate Student Catalog • 2014–2015 ACADEMIC RESOURCES AND PROCEDURES Auditing a Course Students may register to audit courses. Registration as “audit” must be done prior to the first class meeting. No academic credit is awarded for audited courses. Students may attend all classes but are not required to take examinations, and a grade of AU is awarded at the time of registration. Once a student has registered for an audit, the registration may not be changed back to one in the normal grading system. An audited course may be included in the flat-rate tuition, provided the total number of credit hours, including credits assigned to audited courses, does not exceed 18. Otherwise, tuition will be charged at the prevailing, per-credit-hour rate. Clinic Exploration Program (CEP) Housed within the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, the Clinic Exploration Program (CEP) pairs students with health professionals so they can personally experience a broad range of medical and therapeutic fields. Students in the CEP acquire valuable practical knowledge by shadowing professionals on the job in many of NSU’s clinics. Working side-by-side with seasoned health professionals, participants gain a first-hand perspective into possible career options. The program organizes rotations with doctors, physical therapists, dentists, certified athletic trainers, and other professionals. Any undergraduate student can take part in the CEP, regardless of major or professional experience. Program participants are given a special blue lab jacket to wear during clinical experiences and are assigned a clinic for one or two rotations a semester.

Course Credits—Application Toward Multiple Requirements Courses taken to fulfill major, minor, certificate, general education, and other program requirements may generally be applied to other program requirements. For example, courses used to satisfy major requirements may also be used to satisfy general education requirements. However, some programs have specific exceptions to this general policy. Students should consult their academic advisor or division to determine specific policies about application of course credit. Course Delivery Classes are scheduled at a variety of times and locations to best meet student schedules and course demand. Classes may be on-campus, off-campus, day, evening, online, and through independent study. Students should review registration choices with their academic advisor. Day Day classes are aimed primarily at recent high-school graduates and transfer students.
