Enrollment Without Credit

Tags course audit

Persons who wish to audit a course for no grade must obtain written permission from the dean of the college in which the course is offered. Those who audit a course do so for the purpose of hearing or seeing only; they do not have the privilege of participating in class discussions or laboratory or field work, of turning in papers, or of receiving a grade or credit in the course. 

Students who audit a course will not be listed on the class roster, and no notation of the audit will be made on the student’s transcript. Students enrolled for fewer than 12 semester credit hours in a semester (6 hours in summer) must pay a fee (per semester credit hour) for the privilege of auditing a course. 

Written permission from the dean of the college in which the course is being taught and from the course instructor is required. This permission must be supplied to Student Business Services for payment. No charge is assessed for enrollment of 12 or more semester credit hours. Senior citizens 65 years of age and older are exempt. 

Student Requirements for Auditing a Course 

  • Students must be officially registered for the term in which they intend to audit a course. 

  • A Permission to Audit form must be submitted. This form is provided by the academic department offering the course and must include written approval from both the course instructor and the dean of the respective college. 

    • NOTE: If the academic department does not have a current Permission to Audit form available, it is the department’s responsibility to create and provide the form to the student. 

  • Once the completed form is submitted, Student Business Services will review the documentation and assess the applicable audit fee to the student's account for the corresponding term. 

Audit Fee Policy

  • Students enrolled in fewer than 12 credit hours during a regular term (or fewer than 6 credit hours during each summer term) will be assessed an audit fee of $10.00 per credit hour for each audited course. 

  • Students who are 65 years of age or older are exempt from the audit fee.
