Audit/ Graded Audit Course Registration

The graded audit option is available to students who need to repeat a course beyond the repeat rules or who wish to have a letter grade recorded for a course previously satisfied through transfer credit or special exam. There is also an ungraded audit option that allows a student to repeat a course without a letter grade.

In both audit types, the course counts as attempted hours but not as earned hours, GPA hours, quality points, or toward GPA calculation. Audited courses do not count toward full-time status, loan deferment, or financial aid eligibility and will not replace original grades on the DegreeWorks Degree Audit.

Participation requires faculty approval. Tuition and fees apply to both audit and graded audit courses.
