Students who wish to obtain knowledge from a course, but do not need or want the credit for graduation, may enroll in the course(s) as auditors.
- Auditors receive no credit toward a degree, and an H grade appears on the transcript. The credit received when auditing a course does not count toward your verification of full, half or less than half time enrollment status. This credit is not reported to the National Student Clearinghouse for enrollment verification.
- Students pay standard tuition and fees for the course(s).
- Students may not change their registration status auditor vs. credit) after the last day to drop a course without a grade for 16-week classes in the fall or spring semesters, or the equivalent thereof in a shorter session. Nor can a student who is enrolled for credit change student status to auditor after the last day to drop a course without a grade for 16-week classes, or the equivalent thereof in a shorter session.
- Check the academic calendar for deadlines.
- Undergraduate students who want to change their grading basis must contact their advisor. Graduate students should contact the Graduate School for assistance. Non-divisional undergraduate students must contact the Office of the Registrar for assistance.
- Normally, an auditor will attend the course on a regular basis; either the department or an individual instructor will stipulate the requirements for enrollment in a course as a hearer. An instructor may request that an auditor be dropped from the course at any time for failing to meet these requirements.
- The School of Law may set a different deadline to change to auditor status, for students enrolled in Law courses for credit. This deadline may be later than the standard five-week period.
