Audited Modules

As part of their personal faith journey, people may register as students at the beginning of either the autumn or spring semester to audit selected modules offered as part of the Institute’s academic undergraduate programmes in that semester. Students who choose to audit modules are not required to complete and submit any formal assessments to be graded. Consequently, they do not receive any academic credits (ECTS: European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) on completion of the modules. However, they may submit their course journal for feedback from the relevant academic tutor. 

On the first day of the semester, which requires mandatory attendance, students are provided with the access credentials for their online classroom. The module delivery is primarily paper-based. However students are strongly encouraged to attend lectures in person here in Tallaght on designated study days. They will also have access to video lectures that are made available online. Students also keep a reflective journal based on the exercises found in the module text. Occasionally Zoom meetings may be organised.
