Audits
An 'auditor' is a student who has chosen to enroll in a course for no credit. An 'AU' will be assigned if the auditing criteria has been met throughout the term.
Auditing Guidelines/Information:
* Before a student may audit a class, permission must be obtained from the instructor. The instructor has the right to refuse to accept a student as an auditor.
* The student must be registered (with fees paid) for the quarter in which the course is to be audited.
* Students may enroll and opt to audit a class during the add/drop period and no later than the last day to add a course. Students may alter the grading option (from a graded class to an audit) up until the quarter's deadline of the last day to drop. (To follow the term add/drop deadlines, please review the outlined information in the appropriate Quarter Class Schedule).
* An instructor has the authority to submit a change-of-grade form to change an 'AU' to 'NC' for students who audit a class but do not attend or do not meet the agreed upon criteria.
* In class sections which are limited in enrollment, preference will go to students enrolling for credit.
* Audit units do NOT count towards units completed/earned hours, or towards a student's financial aid units completed.
* The student service fee and nonresident tuition fee are determined on the basis of total units for which a student is enrolled, including courses audited.
* Students may obtain an audit petition from the Office of Academic Records (OAR), located in Bldg. O1 - Room 222. The form must be completed by the student, signed by the instructor of the course, and returned to Academic Records by the last day to add via CPReg.
