All courses may be audited, which means a student attends lectures but is not be responsible for written assignments or exams. Intention to Audit a course is declared at Registration with the option to change during the semester and notice given to the instructor and School Director. The cost for auditing a course is $125.00 which is the same cost as taking the course for credit. The course instructor and the Diocesan School Director must be notified if a change in the election of audit or credit is made during the semester.
Grants for Tuition Assistance are available through The Diaconal Training Program to students formally in the Diaconal process. Assistance is also available to lay persons through a Diocesan School Tuition Assistance program. Details are available in the Diocesan School Manual.
The cost of text books is the responsibility of the student. All texts may be purchased through our bookstore on this site which takes the buyer to Amazon.com. See the Textbook Listing in the School Manual at pages 30 through 32. Click here to download the manual.
As of 2014-2015 grading for all courses is changed as follows:
High Pass (exceptional work)
Pass (met course expectations)
Low Pass (remedial work necessary to achieve a full Pass; no more than 2 low passes permitted per semester; no more than 3 permitted throughout the Three Year Core Curriculum)
Incomplete (missing more than one [1] class without a valid reason, or for failure to complete course work)
Fail (inability to meet course requirements)
Credits earned from courses taken at The Diocesan School may be carried towards a Certificate of Completion for five (5) years after a course is successfully completed. Credits toward the Certificate of Completion expire when there is a gap of five years or more when no classes are taken toward the completion of the program.
If a student continues actively studying at The Diocesan School, but is taking fewer courses than the full course load (and hence taking a longer time to complete the full core curriculum), that student’s credits earned do NOT and will NOT expire.
