Review these topics for possible solutions to your questions.

Audit a Course

  • Auditing involves registering for a course, but without credit or a grade, and reduced expectations to complete the required work. See the catalog for details.
  • Contact your Dean's office for permission. 
  • The Registrar's Office will accept an email from your Dean's Office as documentation. The email must be sent by the Dean's Office directly to Registrar@creighton.edu.

Take More than 18 Credits in a Term

  • Contact your Dean's Office for approval - see Course Overrides for instructions.

Pass/No Pass Grade Options

Your Dean's Office must approve a Pass/No Pass grade request.  Pass/No Pass deadlines are posted on the year's academic calendar.

  • UNDERGRADUATE APPLICATION for Pass/No Pass
  • Your Dean's Office will review your request and notify you of the decision.
  • The Dean's Office will then notify the Registrar's Office of approved requests.
