Abstract: We examine the limits of covering spaces and the covering spectra of oriented Riemannian manifolds, $M_j$, which converge to a nonzero integral current space, $M_{i}nfty$, in the intrinsic flat sense. We provide examples demonstrating that the covering spaces and covering spectra need not converge in this setting. In fact we provide a sequence of simply connected $M_j$ diffeomorphic to $mathbb{S}^4$ that converge in the intrinsic flat sense to a torus $mathbb{S}^{1}imesmathbb{S}^3$. Nevertheless, we prove that if the $delta$-covers, $ilde{M}_j^{d}elta$, have finite order $N$, then a subsequence of the $ilde{M}_j^{d}elta$ converge in the intrinsic flat sense to a metric space, $M^{d}elt{a}_{i}nfty$, which is the disjoint union of covering spaces of $M_{i}nfty$.
