A degree-seeking student may audit a class (sit-in for no credit) by completing the Auditor’s Registration Form in the Office of the Registrar the day after the end of the Add Period. Auditing is permitted, by written permission of the instructor, in non-restricted courses in which space is available. Non-degree students may also audit a course, provided that the instructor approves, space is available in the class, and the course is non-restricted. A student cannot retake a course for credit after they have audited it. To audit a course, the student must complete the Audit Application and Registration form and pay the Audit Fee of $30 per credit hour. Citizens over 60 are exempt from the fee and instead must complete the Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver. Au paires should bring their visa to the Registrar’s Office when registering to audit a class.
Auditing policies. Undergraduate students may not audit graduate courses. Students may not audit any individual study or research class, typically course numbers from 481 to 499 for any discipline. Students may not audit any courses with labs in Biology (BIOL), Chemistry (CHEM), Geology (GEOL), Physics (PHYS) and Psychology (PSYC). Finally, certain classes are restricted and do not allow auditors under any circumstances; the Office of the Registrar maintains the list of restricted courses. Departments wishing to add or delete a course from the restricted list do so by contacting the Registrar.
