Excessive or prolonged absences are reported by instructors to the Dean of Students Office. All persons attending, auditing, or participating in a program of instruction must officially register with the college. Permission of the instructor is required to audit a course. An auditor is a visitor in a class and participates in its activities only at the invitation of the instructor. Students are discouraged from auditing courses that involve performance, lab work, or extensive use of equipment such as studios, gymnasia, and computers.
Auditors take exams or hand in written work only at the direction of the instructor.
A person who has audited a course may not subsequently earn credit for it by special examination. Students auditing courses where tests and evaluations are used to establish an early grade pattern may not register those courses for credit after the add deadline has passed. A person attempting a successful audit must have the permission of the instructor at the time of entering the course. Conditions necessary for completion of a successful audit should be negotiated with the instructor when the student receives permission for the audit. A successful audit that is certified by the instructor on a special form available from the registrar will be entered on the auditor's transcript.
