Qualified students are invited to enroll in most courses, on an audit or for-credit basis, without having been admitted to a degree program. Such students must give evidence they possess competence to pursue the level of course work required. In the case of graduate courses, this ordinarily means the enrollee must have earned a bachelor’s degree. Any prerequisites must be fulfilled for any given course. Persons interested in enrolling in any course(s) should contact the Office of the Registrar at 513-233-6118.
Visitors are welcome to visit the chapel and library. The library is open to the public during scheduled hours. Visitors should call before arriving.

Other visitors should report to the business office on the first floor before proceeding through the building or onto the grounds.
