Auditing a Course

A student in good academic standing and with the permission of the instructor may audit a course. The student and the instructor must agree in advance on what the auditor is expected to do. At the end of the course, the instructor shall certify that the student met these obligations by issuing a grade of ‘AU’. If the obligations are not met, the student will be dropped from the course roster and the course will be removed from the student’s record. A decision to change from credit to audit must be made by the end of the add/drop period. Not all courses are available for audits: studio art, music performance, physical education, computer laboratory, and off-campus programs are excluded. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Office of the Registrar, in writing, using an add/drop form, when auditing a course. Auditing a course may incur a cost. Please visit the Office of Student Accounts' website for a current fee schedule.
