Auditing Courses

Any enrolled student may choose to audit a course by paying the audit tuition (one-half of the current regular tuition) and applicable audit fee. For students auditing a course, attendance will not be recorded, nor will they be required to complete any of the class requirements. No academic credit is awarded for auditing a course.

Enrollment as an auditor is subject to limitations of class size, with priority given to students enrolled for credit, any special requirements for auditing a particular class, and the exclusion of auditors from a particular class or a given type of class. Only the following courses are eligible to be taken by non-degree program students (unless special permission is received from the Department Chairman and Academic Dean): PSY 500, PHT 502, PSY 503, PSY 504, PHT 533, PSY 605, PHT 614, and PHT 619.

A student currently taking a course on an audit basis may petition through the Registrarís Office to switch to taking the course on a "course-for-credit" basis. Such petition must be presented to and approved prior to the commencement of the third scheduled week of classes.

A student may later enroll in the same course, for credit, by registering and paying the regular registration fee. Students who have previously audited a class, and who are now taking the course-for-credit are required to complete the assignments for the course as outlined by the current syllabus for that class, including any requirements for class participation, papers, and examinations. The student may, however, petition the instructor and Academic Dean in writing for a modification of the class attendance requirement of the Institute.
