Auditing of courses requires official admission to the University, approval by the instructor involved, and payment of the regular fee for the course. Audit will be on a “space available” basis. Students auditing courses are subjected to the same regulations as other students with regard to registration and attendance, but they do not take examinations nor receive credit for the course. A student accumulating an excessive number of unjustifiable absences in an audited course may be administratively withdrawn at the request of the instructor. Students may change from taking a course for credit to audit during the first thirteen weeks of the semester. Students enrolled for audit who do not wish to complete the course(s) must complete official drop/withdrawal procedures stated in the next section.
To audit a course you must submit a completed Request for Audit form signed by the instructor of the course and your advisor to the Office of the Registrar.
Waitlist options for a limited number of courses has been enabled. Not all courses have a waitlist.
More information including FAQs and a step by step guide to waitlisting can be found here.
