Auditing Courses

 Students wishing to audit must complete the following steps:

Additional Information:

  • To attend a class, a person must either be registered as a student taking the class for credit or registered as a student auditing the class. Auditors must apply for admission and pay the non-refundable application fee if they are not already regularly enrolled students. The cost for auditing a class and information on applicable course fees may be found on the Student Accounts Tuition & Fees website.
  • A person may audit courses with the written approval of the instructor, department head, and dean of the subject. Certain courses may not be available for audit due to the nature of the work being done in the course or the capacity available in the course.
  • Request to Audit Form. Registration must be processed in the Registrar’s Office. Auditors are listed on the class roll, and the instructor will determine and establish the level of participation allowed for auditors in all activities. The auditors will receive a grade of "X" at the end of term. The grade of "X" does not apply towards any degree program. Auditors are not able to receive federal financial aid or tuition assistance for the audited course.
  • Once a student registers in a course as an auditor, the student may not change the status in that course to credit basis. However, if a student is registered in a course for credit, the student may request to change to audit on or before the "Last Day to Add a Class" at the beginning of the term. Audit counts toward the maximum number of semester hours allowed but does not count toward the minimum number of semester hours required for financial aid, scholarships, athletics, and veterans’ benefits. Auditing students are governed by the same standards, rules, and regulations that apply to regularly enrolled students.
