Auditing a course
By auditing a course you may attend classes without being given a grade. As an auditor, you may participate in class discussions without having to take the
examinations. Registration and fee payment procedures for auditors are the same as those for persons taking the course for a grade. Be sure to indicate on the
registration form that you are auditing the course.
