Current policies of external agencies do not allow financial aid or veterans benefits for audited courses. Non-credit and continuing education (CEU) courses, apprenticeship, and clinical/internship classes may not be taken with audit status.
Audit Grades
AU Audit grade means the student registers for a course as an audit prior to the start of the class and attends class but does not receive a letter grade for the course. An AU grade is recorded on the transcript. Audited classes do not count as credits for determining financial aid status, nor do they count toward graduation. Enrollment priority is given to fee-paying students who want to take the course for credit. Auditing students will not be allowed to enroll in a course until seven days prior to the start date of the term. Space must be available in the course and all course prerequisites, if any, must be met.
AX Audit status is given when a student registers for a course with the intent to receive a letter grade, begins attending the course, and then changes the status to an audit. The student receives an AX grade on the transcript and the audited class will be counted as attempted credits for academic purposes. All other procedures related to the AU audit grade (above) apply to the AX grade. Students who wish to change from credit status to audit status must do so before 75% of the total instruction of the course has been delivered.
