Auditing a course

Decide if you want to earn credit for a course, or if you want to audit a course. Auditing means attending but not taking tests, being graded, or earning college credit. Auditing students must still attend class and participate as required by the instructor.

The instructor must approve your request to audit. An email from the instructor can be used to show their approval. Indicate on the registration form if you want to audit.
