Auditing of Academic Work

An auditor is an observer, not a participant, and is entitled to sit in a face-to-face class and benefit from the instruction, which is offered, but not to participate in online content, laboratory, field work, performances, and similar activities. An auditor is not entitled to have work evaluated by the instructor and receives no credit for enrollment as an auditor. Individuals who wish to participate fully and engage in all instructional activities must register for credit and pay full tuition. Permission to register as an auditor may be granted by the department head for appropriate courses when space is available. Auditors are not entitled to university library privileges or other activities normally funded through student fees and may not audit courses requiring laboratory credit without express consent of the instructor. Form to request to audit a course is in the Registrar’s Office.
