Auditing Classes

Students may audit a course if they choose to attend and partici-pate in class activities but do not want to receive credit or a grade. As auditors, students are not required to complete out-of-class assignments and examinations. However, fees and attendance requirements are identical to those of credit students. Audited courses may not be used to satisfy course prerequisites. Current policies do not allow financial aid or veterans benefits for audited courses. In cases where demand for a course exceeds class size limitations, preference will be given to credit students over auditors.

Students who wish to audit credit classes must inform the Registration Office before 75% of total course hours have been completed (for example, week 12 of a 16-week term). To audit a course, the student informs the Information and Service Center (Room ECV113 on the Clairemont Campus) or regional campus staff who then notifies instructors of the student’s audit status. Students do not need instructor permission to audit.
