Laboratory and certain other courses vary from this pattern. The quarter hours of credit for each course are shown after the course title in the Master Course List section. A student may seek a course waiver, earn credits for knowledge or skills not covered in regularly scheduled class through an Independent Study or Special Project class or apply for advanced placement. You can sit in on a class without doing any of the required course work by declaring your audit status at the time of registration. You may change your registration to audit ONLY during the first ten days of class.
Auditors pay regular credit hour and lab fees.
An auditor does not take examinations nor receive credit for the course. You may receive credit for a course by satisfactorily completing a challenge examination. Register for the class and tell the instructor you wish to challenge the course. Instructional divisions may reserve the right to deny challenges for specific courses. An exam is administered and graded, with the grade recorded at the end of the quarter.
