Auditing Courses

Students can request to evaluate a course through the “Auditing Courses” process. A student can evaluate a course to:

• Learn about a topic from subject matter experts without needing to complete homework or exams.
• Or, see if they would like to register to fully participate and receive units in a future semester.
  
  

Fees

1. $1.00 audit fee, per course. 
   Audit fees are non-refundable unless the auditing student is dropped to open a space up for a regularly enrolled student.
