Audit Policy
Audits are permitted on a space-available basis with the consent of the instructor and the MEMP director (see Audit Permission Form below). Audited courses will appear on your transcript and you will receive a grade of AD (indicating successful completion) that will not count towards your GPA. Failure to obtain the instructor’s permission will result in the denial of your audit request. Permission to Audit Forms must be completed and turned in two days before the end of the Drop/Add Period to allow for processing time.
Note: Audited courses count as part of a student’s total allowable credit limit during registration, but they do not count toward course load when determining full-time and part-time status.
It is important that you understand an instructor’s expectations for students auditing their class. Some instructors may require you to participate in class and complete assignments, readings, etc.; however, other instructors may require less of auditing students. In either case, students must meet an instructor’s expectations to successfully complete the audit, as it is possible to fail.
Students may audit only one course per fall and spring semesters; no courses may be audited during the summer terms.
