Auditing Courses

Students may request to audit a course, which allows attendance without receiving academic credit, with approval from the student's assigned academic advisor and the course instructor.

• The registration period to audit a course opens when non-degree student registration begins.
• The deadline for designating a registered course to audit is the the last day to drop without academic liability.
• The instructor will determine requirements for attendance, participation, and any written work.
• Audits appear on the academic record with a grade notation of ‘AU’; no credits are earned.
• Students who do not meet the criteria set by the instructor will be dropped from the course.
• Subsequent requests for change to audit will be by petition for variance in academic policy signed by the course instructor and approved by the student’s advisor and the student's academic dean or their designee.
• Tuition varies for audit courses; see Fees and Expenses for details.
• To request designation of a course to audit complete an Audit a Course Form.
• Credit Load: An academic petition is required to request permission to audit courses that will exceed the maximum credit load policy limits.
• January Term: An academic petition is required to request permission to audit January Term courses.
