Auditing a Class

Students interested in taking a credit course for non-credit purposes may audit a course. Students desiring to audit a course may do so on a space available basis beginning two days after Late Registration day through the end of schedule change. Students must declare they are auditing a course by this time.

• Audit students must meet all admissions and prerequisite requirements for the course.
• Audit students will not receive a grade or credit for the course.
• Course tuition and applicable fees apply.

Some courses require departmental approval prior to registering for a course to be audited. Check the list below and contact the appropriate department if the course is listed.

Students who are auditing a course are NOT required to take tests or exams, are not required to meet attendance requirements and will receive a grade of “AU” (Audit) for the course. Audit courses are NOT computed in grade point averages.

Credit hours for audit courses are not included in a student's course load. This means that if a student is enrolled in 9 credit hours of regular course work and 3 audit hours for a course, the student is ONLY credited for 9 hours of course work or only ¾ time for financial aid purposes. Students are charged full tuition for auditing a course.

A student who audits a course may later take the same course for credit. Students auditing a course MAY NOT change their course status after schedule change period of the term.
