Overview

The option to audit a course is available for students, alumni, and elder auditors who wish to take a course for content only. No credit is issued for the course; audited courses will not count towards any degree requirements. You will receive a "Y" grade on your transcript which does not affect grade point average. Graduate courses, lab courses, independent study courses, and courses which require one-on-one instruction are generally not available for audit. The level of participation permitted or expected by auditors is determined by each instructor.

Note: University Singers (MUSC 1340) is available to audit for all community members, regardless of alumni status or age. See the "Community Members" tab below for more information.
