An audit is intended to provide students with an opportunity to review subject matter they have previously studied or to participate in courses to obtain information of interest to them. Since an audit does not carry any credits, auditing of noncredit courses such as seminars and short courses is not permitted.
A student wanting to audit a course must have the proper prerequisites for the course. Permission to audit a course must be granted through the student's program director or advisor. Once a student takes a course as an audit, he/she cannot take the course for credit. Students may not enroll for subsequent courses for credit based upon audited prerequisite subjects. Auditors may not use audited courses as a means for obtaining credit for any course or to satisfy any degree requirement.
Students may change from audit to credit status or credit to audit status only until Friday of the first week of classes; fees will be adjusted accordingly. Fees to audit a course are payable in full at the time of registration. The cost to audit a course is three-fourths the regular tuition of the course for students registering for 0 to 11 credits. There is no charge for students registering for 12 to 19 credits. The cost of an audit class is nonrefundable.
