Some of you have had questions about auditing courses. I put together some information for those of you considering this option. It’s important that you review this before you proceed with the decision to audit a class.
Please note that a student does not meet prerequisites by auditing courses. Basically, auditing just allows the student to sit in on the class but they earn no credit hours. The class will show up on the transcript as a regular class with the departmental designator and number; however, no grade or hours will be registered, just AU. The student can take the class again at a later date for credit.
Students must still pay for auditing a class, so to some students this is just a waste of their money. Fee and tuition policies for audit enrollments are the same as fee and tuition policies for credit enrollments. A student enrolled exclusively as an auditor may withdraw only during the refund period. Such withdrawal will result in the student’s registration being cancelled, and no entry will be made on the permanent record.
An instructor may assign a final grade of AW to a student who has not performed according to the instructor’s requirements for an auditor.
Enrollment as an auditor is permitted in all courses subject to the approval of the instructor in the course. A change of enrollment from audit to credit may be made provided the change is made no later than the end of the second week of classes of a regular semester, or the first week of classes of a summer session, and provided the instructor and appropriate dean approves. A change of enrollment from credit to audit may be made during the first ten weeks of classes of a regular semester or five weeks of classes of a summer session, provided the student is passing at the time the change is processed. A change of enrollment to audit supersedes the original enrollment for credit, and no withdrawal from the credit enrollment is posted on the student’s academic record.
Please go to the Registration office, Buchanan Hall, if you wish to enroll as an auditor.
