Students may audit courses. These students must register for the course, pay the regular course tuition and fees, and may or may not participate in all course activities. In no case will the student receive a grade for an audited course. Auditors must secure written permission from the instructor within the first five days for Fall and Spring semesters and within the first three days for Summer and Winter Sessions of their start date if they decide to audit a course. No student may change from audit to credit without written approval from the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Audit is an institutional non-credit grade and an "AU" is printed on the student's academic record upon completion of the course.
