Auditing Courses

Students who do not wish to earn college credit may enroll in a course on an “audit" basis with written consent from the instructor and dean. New students must complete an application for admission and submit all required credentials.

The grade awarded for a class taken on an audit basis is “AU." No credit or quality points are earned and the student will not be permitted to take advanced-standing examinations on such work without permission of the dean of the appropriate school. Students may not audit the same course more than once. Courses previously audited may be taken later for credit. Tuition and fees for auditing a course are the same as for regular enrollment.

A student who initially enrolls in a class on an audit basis may change to credit if acceptable within the individual’s program of study, and with permission of the course instructor and academic advisor. Students may change from audit to credit (add) or credit to audit (drop) through the drop/add period as published in the Academic Calendar.

Students who are auditing may utilize the University Library, receive course handouts and, at the discretion of the instructor, may participate in class discussion and testing. Auditors may be allowed to observe and participate in the laboratory setting, but may not participate in the clinical component of a course. Students who are auditing are required to follow all policies of Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University.
