Auditing

With instructor permission, degree and non-degree seeking students may audit graduate lecture courses as space permits. As the term implies, auditors listen rather than engage in class discussions and projects. Auditors attend class meetings but do not write papers or take exams or quizzes.  A course that was previously audited may be taken for credit at a later time. A course that was taken for credit and successfully passed, may be taken again for audit. See the Tuition, Fees and Other Charges section for rates.

Limits/Restrictions:

• The student receives neither credit, letter grade nor grade points for an audit; however, the audit and a grade of "AU" does appear on the transcript.

• There is no limit on the number of courses that a student may audit; however, students may not exceed a combined 12 credits of for-credit and/or audit bearing coursework in a given semester. 

• It is not possible to audit courses such as creative writing, studio arts and other courses where the nature of the activity requires the participation of the student.  

• No changes to or from the audit option may be made after the end of the drop/add period of the academic term.
