Auditing a Course

Undergraduate and Graduate Students

Students may audit courses under the guidelines noted below.  The student will receive no academic credit for the courses, nor will a grade be reflected in his or her cumulative grade point average.

• A student may audit a course subject to the approval of his or her adviser or department chairperson and consent of the instructor.
• A student is subject to conditions established by the department and/or instructor for the audited course.
• A student registering for credit has course enrollment preference over an auditing student.  Therefore, a student must register for audit only during the drop/add period by submitting forms provided by the Registrar's Office.  A student's status as an auditor in a course cannot be changed after the drop/add period.
• A student may register for one audit course per semester.  Exception may be granted by petition to the appropriate college dean.
• A student receives no credit for an audited course.  The student's academic record will reflect the course enrollment with the notation AU.
• A student will be charged the same tuition and fees for an audited course as for a course taken for credit.
