Audit Policy

Auditing a course allows a student to take a class without the benefit of a grade or credit for a course. A student who audits a course does so for the purposes of self-enrichment and academic exploration. The course is offered ONLY on a space-available basis with the approval of both the instructor of the course and the academic dean of the college.

Tuition and fees for an audited course are set at a 50% reduction. Credit value of audited courses is included in the semester load for determining fees and the maximum number of credits carried each year. Audited courses do not fulfill full-time status requirements for scholarship, financial aid, or insurance purposes.

Senior citizens 65 and older with proof of age may audit courses under the state criteria at a 75% tuition reduction.

Audited courses must be arranged prior to the end of the Add/Drop period and cannot be changed to courses for credit after this period. Additionally, courses taken for credit cannot be changed to audit once the Add/Drop period has passed.

Students cannot audit laboratory, practicum, clinical, or internship courses. Audited courses carry no academic credit, do not fulfill degree requirements, and may affect a student's classification as a full-time student.
