Course Audit

If you audit a course, there is no need to complete assignments or exams, but you are expected to attend class. If you do not attend class you may be removed from the roster. If you successfully complete the class, you will be given a grade of "NC" (no credit). Tuition and fees are charged for audited courses and the course is not eligible for the COF stipend.

If you are registered for a course that you would like to audit, you must contact the Office of the Registrar before the add deadline to change your registration status to an audit. You may not change the status for any course, including audit courses, after the add deadline for a given term.
