Audit Policy

The audit option provides students the opportunity to attend a class as a non-credit participant, usually as a listener-observer.  This alternative may have value for students who want an introduction to a subject outside their major field, a review or refresher in a subject, or for other purposes where credit and grade are not needed or would pose an unnecessary academic threat.  Students will have the option of completing assignments and taking examinations.  Some programs may have additional criteria in place for how students can audit courses.  Audit enrollment carries no credit or grade point value, and said status will be recorded on the student’s transcript as an “N”.  No inference is made about the quality of a student’s mastery of the course subject matter.  Caution is advised in the use of an audit as the course must be repeated for a letter grade if credit is desired at a later date.  An audited course cannot be changed to a graded course once the term has started.

 Students who enroll in a course for regular credit may change to an audit status prior to completing three-fourths of the course.  The change is requested on a Withdrawal/Audit Form which can be obtained from the Student Services Office.
