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} n f t y

, 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

m a t h b b S^{4}

that converge in the intrinsic flat sense to a torus

m a t h b b S^{1} i m e s m a t h b b S^{3}

. Nevertheless, we prove that if the

d e l t a

-covers,

i l d e M_{j}^{d} e l t a

, have finite order

N

, then a subsequence of the

i l d e M_{j}^{d} e l t a

converge in the intrinsic flat sense to a metric space,

M^{d} e l t a_{i} n f t y

, which is the disjoint union of covering spaces of

M_{i} n f t y

.
