Audit is a registration status allowing students to attend a course without receiving credit. Priority enrollment is given to students desiring to take the course for credit. Therefore, enrollment for the purpose of auditing depends on available space; upon the discretion of the instructor, the registrar, and the academic dean. Students auditing courses are expected to attend classes regularly although they do not take examinations, do assignments, or receive a grade or credits for the course.

Audit students must meet the minimum admission status for the course (ex: high school graduate for undergraduate classes; college graduate for graduate classes). Students shall abide by all policies regarding student responsibility and conduct as defined in the academic catalog and the student handbook.

The cost for auditing is $100.00 per course.

Signature: I have read the policy and full understanding the rules/guidelines and agree to comply with them. *
