Auditing a Course
- An admitted student may audit a course without degree counting credit by registering as an auditor and paying the required fees. A student auditing a course may not replace a student taking the course for credit.
- Tuition for an audited course is 20 percent of the fee required for courses taken for credit. Tuition is charged if the student is not taking a full load (12 credits) excluding the audited course. If the total number of credits exceeds 18, the 20 percent fee will apply to credits over 18, including the credit value of audited courses.
- An audited course is not counted as part of the student's academic load. A grade of AU is entered on the student’s transcript.
- A student auditing a course is not required to complete written assignments or take examinations. Extent and type of participation in the class is at the discretion of the professor.
- Auditing is not permitted in physical education activity courses, theatre or dance technique courses, music performance courses, education courses numbered 3000 or above, courses offered in partnership with external organizations, or other courses so indicated in the course schedule at the discretion of the professor and with the approval of the department chair/assistant dean.
- A student who is registered for a course and would like to change to an audit registration may do so only up through the posted Last Day to Add deadline which also coincides with the Last Day to Drop without Transcript Notation deadline.
- At no future time may a student request or receive credit for the audited course by any other means than by officially registering for the course for degree counting credit by the Last Day to Add and doing the required work.
