Students may elect to audit a course – that is, take an undergraduate course for personal enrichment – with permission from the Vice President of Instruction and course instructor. Audited courses carry no credit value and cannot be used to fulfill certificate or degree requirements. Students are responsible for paying full tuition and fees for audited courses.

To audit a course, students must:

  1. Fill out the “Request to Audit Course” form .
  2. Secure signatures from the Vice President of Instruction and each instructor for the course(s) to be audited.
  3. Return the “Request to Audit a Course” form to the Admissions Office.
  4. After the regular registration period has passed, the student will be registered for the course only if space is available.
  5. After being registered in the course, contact the Business Office to make payment in full.

Please note: Audited courses are designated on the student’s transcript with a notation of “AU” in the grade column.
