Auditing Courses
Students who wish to audit a course must register through the regular registration procedures. Tuition and fees for auditing are the same as the cost of courses taken for cred- it. Audits are reported on grade reports and transcripts as “AU” and do not affect earned credits or in uence the grade point average for the semester. However, audited courses
do not count as successful completions for nancial aid purposes. Therefore, students who receive nancial aid should consult a nancial aid of cer before electing to audit a course.
To audit a course, a student should state his intent to audit no later than the rst week of the course. An “AU” will be entered as the student’s grade for that course. A stu- dent may not switch from a credit to an audit status, or from an audit to a credit status after the add/drop period. Students must meet all requisite requirements in order to audit courses. Additionally, some courses are not available to audit, such as those leading to licensure.
