Auditing

Students are encouraged to visit classes and lectures with the permission of the instructor.

Students may audit any course with the approval of the advisor and the course instructor, provided that they, as auditors, do not displace students enrolled for credit. SAS will record “audit” on student transcripts when, in the judgment of course instructors, students have met minimal requirements.

To change from audit to credit status, students must inform Student Administrative Services within the first seven calendar days (beginning with and including the first day of classes) of the fall and spring semesters as indicated on the Academic Calendar OR before the start of the 3rd class date for summer classes. Students must pay all the usual fees, complete all work and pass all examinations.

Students may also receive credit for a course either by auditing the course, waiting a semester, then taking the final exam during the time regularly scheduled for such exams each semester or by taking a special exam for credit.

Part-time students pay reduced tuition for auditing classes. Special alumni and senior citizens programs also are available for auditing undergraduate courses in the fall and spring semesters.
