Audit/ Graded Audit Course Registration

The graded audit option is for students who do not seek academic credit, but need to repeat a course beyond what the repeat rules allow and still have a letter grade appear on their transcript. This option may also be used by students who seek a graded audit for a course for which credit has already been granted through transfer work or special exam.

In both cases, the course does count in attempted hours, but does not count in earned hours, GPA hours, quality points, or the GPA calculation. As a result, it is not counted toward full-time status, loan deferment, or financial aid eligibility. Each faculty member must approve the applicant for class participation by assessing the participant's ability to perform in their class.

Auditors must pay regular tuition and fees for audited classes.
