You are, therefore, encouraged to inquire in the Graduate School for the most current information. Other examinations, such as the Graduate Management Admission Test, the Miller Analogies Test, and the Graduate Record Examination, may also be required by a department as a condition of admission. Admission as an Auditor An auditor is a student who enrolls in a course for informational purposes only. An auditor attends class sessions regularly but does not participate in the class, take examinations, or receive credit for the course. In addition, you must obtain permission of the instructor to register as an auditor in any course.
Auditors pay the same registration fees as credit students.
Deferred Admission Chico has a deferred admission program through which students who have been fully accepted to the Graduate School may postpone enrollment. To qualify for deferred admission, you must have on file in the Graduate School two official copies of transcripts from all postsecondary institutions previously attended so that complete eligibility can be determined. Deferred admission may not be used by students wishing to attend another college or university while holding a space for a later semester at Chico. If you attend another school or enroll in CSU, Chico extension or resident extension classes during the deferred period, you will have to reapply for admission during the appropriate application filing period, pay the application fee, and submit two copies of transcripts for any work completed subsequent to filing the original application. If your application for deferred admission has been approved, you will not be required to pay the application fee upon your return.
