Auditing

What is Auditing?

Auditing a course means that you receive no academic credit for it, and you are not responsible for tests or homework. In place of the grade, transcripts will show as "AU."

Students taking courses for credit are given priority, so students who wish to audit courses are permitted to register only during the add/drop period at the beginning of the semester. Students are charged for audited courses at 50% of the regular tuition rate that applies to courses taken for credit, and must pay any additional lab fees that may be associated with the course.

Matriculated Students

If you wish to audit a course, take an Add/Drop Form to the first class meeting, indicate AU in the grade option box and ask the professor to sign it. Then bring the form to the Financial & Registration Services Office in Woodruff Hall. 

Community Members (non-matriculated)

If you wish to audit a course, bring a Registration Form to the first class meeting. Indicate AU in the grade option box, and ask the professor to sign it. Then bring your completed form to the Financial & Registration Services office located downstairs on the first floor of Woodruff Hall.

Payment is due at the time of registration. Audited courses are billed at 50% of the regular tuition rate, plus any associated lab fees that may be applicable.

If you wish to take a course for earned credit, you may register as soon as open enrollment begins (after our matriculated students have registered). Complete a Non-Matriculated Student Registration Form and bring it to the Financial & Registration Services office located downstairs on the first floor of Woodruff Hall. Payment is due at the time of registration.

Non-matriculated student registration forms are available for download.

Senior Citizens (non-matriculated)

Seniors (matriculated or non-matriculated), 65 or older as of one day prior to the start of classes may audit one class tuition free. For other classes students will be charged 50% tuition. Student is responsible for all fees associated with the course.

If you wish to take a course for earned credit, you may register as soon as open enrollment begins (after our matriculated students have registered). Complete a Non-Matriculated Student Registration Form and bring it to the Financial & Registration Services office located downstairs on the first floor of Woodruff Hall. Payment is due at the time of registration.

If you wish to audit a course, bring a Registration Form to the first class meeting. Indicate “AU” in the grade option box, and ask the professor to sign it. Then bring your completed form to the Financial & Registration Services office located downstairs on the first floor of Woodruff Hall.

Non-matriculated student registration forms are available for download.
